摘要
本文从人文道德的角度研究詹姆斯的小说理论,认为其中体现了自由的道德精神。詹姆斯把小说定义为个人对生活的直接印象,同时认为艺术的道德价值在于艺术家对生活的感受能力。本文根据克尔恺郭尔的观点,把自由定义为无限的可能性,指出在詹姆斯的理论中,正是个人对生活片刻的印象所引发的想象,个人视角的独特性,个人视角理解生活时所不可避免的困惑,表现了人生的广阔性、多样性和无限性,体现了追求自由的道德精神。
This paper probes the moral dimension of Henry James＇s novel theory, arguing that James＇s novel theory represents a spirit of freedom. James defines novel as a personal, direct impression of life, and insists that the moral sense of a work of art depends on the artist＇s prime sensibility. According to Kierkegaard, freedom means possibility for possibility. This paper, therefore, concludes that it is the imagination aroused by personal impression, the particularity of personal impression, and the bewilderment which inevitably accompanies the personal impression of life that gurantees the infinite possibility and plurality of life, embodying a spirit of freedom.
