弑父情节与上帝的存在——《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》的神学解读

The Patricide Plot and God's Existence ——A Theological Interpretation of The Brothers Karamazov

《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》中的弑父情节负载着复杂的哲学神学内涵。在小说中,陀思妥耶夫斯基基于"约伯的困惑"展开关于上帝存在的思考;以"假如上帝不在"的逻辑结果否定了对上帝的理性证明,反证了上帝存在的必要性与重要性,进而昭示了通过爱、通过信仰超越生存困境的拯救之路。小说反映了19世纪俄罗斯社会最深刻的信仰危机与心灵焦虑以及寻求精神家园的苦恼。

The patricide plot in The Brothers Karamazov carries complicated philosophical and theological connotations. In this novel, Fyodor Dostoyevsky develops his thoughts on God's existence based on Job's bewilderment; he denies the rationalistic arguments for God's inexistence with the logical result of the hypothesis that God doesn't exist, which in turn confirms the necessity and importance of God's existence; moreover, he declares the way of salvation through love and belief to surpass survivorship. The novel reflects the deepest belief crisis, spiritual anxiety and affliction of seeking spiritual homestead in Russian society of the 19th century.
