巴什拉的诗意想象论与华兹华斯“明智的被动”

Bachelard's Poetical Imagination and Wordsworth's "Wise Passiveness"

巴什拉的诗意想象论是20世纪中叶现象学研究的一个重要方面内容,它不仅克服了传统想象论把想象当成是对现实的简单模仿的片面认识,而且还纠正了同时代的现象学把想象看成是对客观现实的否定的看法,对想象论的发展具有重要意义。华兹华斯的"明智的被动"的想象论观点,与巴什拉的诗意想象论具有相似的辩证法思想,它既注重想象活动中想象主体的能动性的作用,又不忽视想象对象在想象活动中的作用。华兹华斯超越了自己时代的局限,他的"明智的被动"思想是一条实现想象主体与客体统一的正确道路,为想象论的发展作出了重要贡献。

Bachelard's poetical imagination,one of the most important ele- ments of phenomenology in the twentieth century,not only corrects the mis- take of traditional idea of taking imagination as the imitation of the world,but also remedies the phenomenological idea of taking imagination as a means to deny the existence of being,which makes a great contribution to the develop- ment of imagination.Wordsworth's'wise passiveness',an idea about imagi- nation,is the same with Bachelard's poetical imagination in the sense of its imaginative dialectics.Wordsworth's emphases of both subjective intention and the role of object in the activity of imagination makes him a unique way out of his contemporaries in the development of imagination.
