摘要
《海狼》中的狼·拉森是杰克·伦敦笔下最著名的小说人物,伦敦通过拉森探讨人类是否需要道德的哲学命题。伦敦试图在《海狼》的文内文外宣扬道德的必需,结果却展示了对道德虚无主义的崇拜。伦敦让拉森众叛亲离、事败身亡,试图表明拉森的堕落和失败,进而表达对资本主义物质主义道德伦理的批评。然而伦敦却不自觉地表达了对拉森的认同与赞美。这既体现了伦敦本人的伦理困惑,又折射了资本主义商业时代的伦理迷茫。
Wolf Larsen is the most noted character in Jack London’s fiction,through whom London investigates the philosophical proposition whether morality is indispensable.London tries to show the necessity of morality in and outside The SeaWolf and ends up in his adoration of moral nihilism.London seems to express his criticism of capitalist moralism by showing Larsen’s degeneration and failure both as a person and a captain,while he cannot contain his unconscious identification with and praise for Larsen,which is an embodiment of the moral puzzlement of both London and capitalist commercialism.
