哲学的文学化演绎:试论艾丽丝·默多克的小说创作

Literary interpretation of philosophy: on the literary creation of Iris Murdoch

艾丽丝·默多克是一位杰出的当代英国作家，在文学和哲学两方面著述甚丰。她的小说密切关注哲学和迈德伦理方面的一些基本问题，如善与爱、神圣与亵读、生活的无序和艺术的形式等等，运用艺术想象和文学演绎的方法探索和展示人生的经验和现实的本质，因此常被称为哲学寓言小说。本文首先简略地讨论默多克的哲学思想和文学观念，然后概括地论述她最主要作品的内容意义和创作特色，最后指出默多克的小说创作既有传统的道德关注，又有强烈的创新成份。
