摘要: 著名哲学家约翰·塞尔从言语行为理论的角度提出了“虚构是一种伪装的以言行事行为”的看法,将虚构话语视为对日常话语的寄生与模仿。这种观点得到柯里与热奈特从不同方面的批评和修正。塞尔的虚构理论最终被证明为一种重视作者意图、词句意义和语境的人文主义哲学观点,通过认识到这种理论的优点与不足,我们可以在其基础之上展开进一步关于文学虚构本质属性的讨论。

Abstract: According to John R. Searle's Speech Act Theory, fiction assumes to be real illocutionary acts and Searle claims that fictional discourses imitate and parasitize on ordinary discourses. Gregory Currie and Gérard Genette criticize Searle's arguments and revise his theory of fiction. This paper contents that Searle's theory of fiction can prove to be a humanist philosophical perspective that emphasizes on the author's intentions, meanings of utterances and the context. The paper proceeds to argue that further research on the essential features of fiction can be done on the basis of investigating the merits and demerits of Searle's theory.

Key words: Fiction, Speech Act Theory, illocutionary act, John R. Searle
