从《窄门》到《梵蒂冈地窖》看纪德对基督教问题的批判性思考

André Gide's Critical Reflection on Christianity in Straight is the Gate and The Vatican Cellars

本文通过介绍纪德在19世纪末20世纪初法国文坛“天主教复兴”大环境中的思想发展轨迹,对作家复杂的宗教态度的形成过程与基本特征进行梳理和总结,并通过对纪德的两部作品《窄门》和《梵蒂冈地窖》的阅读分析,从两个方面探讨纪德对基督教问题的批评思考:对新教的隐晦批评和对天主教的辛辣讽刺;考察了这种批评态度下隐藏的人本主义思想。

The intellectual trajectory of André Gide is to be considered in the context of a Catholic renaissance, which occurred in the French literary world at the end of the 19~ th century. By examining this trajectory, we can get a general view of how the writer's religious attitude has become so complex. The present paper, by reading and analyzing two books of Gide (Straight is the Gate and The Vatican Cellars, also known as Lafcadio's Adventures), investigates Gide's critical reflection concerning his ambiguous relationship to Christianity: indirect criticism of Protestantism and direct derision of Catholicism. Thus the purpose of our paper is also to call attention to the humanistic spirit behind the writer's critical attitude.
