西西弗及其他——对于“超越性”的一种文化反思

存在主义作家伽缪在其《西西弗的神话》中通过“背谬”概念表达了对于人的存在意义的反思。这一意义体现于人的有限性和其完美与大全的理念(超越性)之间无法消解的张力。该文在确定这一点的同时,指出了这种背谬意识是西方文化隐密的本质,也是其异于中国传统文化的深层根据。

In his Le Mythe de Sisyphe, A. Camus, an existentialist writer, express by l＇absurde his thought about the meaning of human existence. This meaning consists in the indissoluble tension between the human finitude and his idea of Perfection and All （ the Transcendence）. Our article makes those assertions and shows clearly the sense of l＇absurde is a hidden nature of the western culture which differentiates this culture from the Chinese traditional culture.
