摘要： 西方学界对奥斯维辛事件的反思由来久矣，伊格尔顿的独特之处在于他将阐释的重点拓展到了语言的维度上：即认为语言中所蕴含的超越性既能够被当作创造性的源头，也会因忽视作为界限的他者而成为暴力的渊薮，最终形成“恶”。基于这个层面，伊格尔顿的思考也包含着对阿多诺等精英主义者理论的反思。对此，他呼唤一种伦理意义上的“唯物主义”，它与现实个体的有限性与他者相连，强调二者都具有不可控性。

Abstract: The issue of Evil which Terry Eagleton discusses is a hot topic that originated from the Auschwitz Concentration Camp, though many modern philosophers are puzzled about this unexplained violence which suddenly appeared in history. Eagleton turns his attention to the layer of Language, arguing that the transcendentality in Language contains both creativity and lethality. Eagleton's contemplations also include his reflections on Arnoldian elitist theories. He calls for a new ethical materialism which is related to the other and personal limitation and both the relation to the other and personal limitation are uncontrollable.

Key words: Evil, Language, Transcendentality, the Other, Materialism
