厨川白村与《近代文学十讲》

Guyagawa Hagushao and his Symbol of Spiritual Depression

厨川白村以他的《苦闷的象征》震动了二、三十年代的中国文坛 ,然而 ,在日本 ,早在《苦闷的象征》出版以前 ,他的名字就已经风靡文坛了 ,这种影响主要源于其第一部著作《近代文学十讲》的出版。在这部著作中 ,他以近代生活和思潮为背景 ,从哲学、科学和现实生活等角度来考察近代欧洲文学 ,提出了“情绪主观是文艺的始终”的文艺思想 ,本文对他的这一文艺思想做了进一步的阐释。

Guyagawa Hagushao was well known in China for his Symbol of Spiritual Depression.But in Japan he had been famous ever since the publication of his first work Ten Lectures on Modern Literature. In that first work, he made a study of modern European literature from the multiple perspectives of philosophy, science and social life. He based his study on modern life and intellectual trends and put forward his aesthetic principle which contends that 'the essence of literature and art is the experiencing subject.' This article will illustrate this thought of his.
