殊途同归的启蒙姿态——谈鲁迅与沈从文对启蒙的“反叛”

On the Same Goal from Different Approaches of Enlightenment Posture——Talk on Rebelling against Enlightenment of Lu Xun and Shen Congwen

启蒙不仅需要理性的指引,也需要防止过度崇尚理性所导致的蒙昧。鲁迅与沈从文都是肩负启蒙使命的思想者,他们以不同的方式践行着同样的启蒙姿态,表达对启蒙的反思。鲁迅在希望与绝望之间坚持着启蒙精神,而沈从文游走在现实与理想之间,上下求索,启蒙的困境深化了他们对人性的认识,使他们的对人性的解读上升到形而上的层面。

The enlightenment not only needs the rational direction, also needs to prevent ignorance which the excessively advocating rationality causes. Both Lu Xun and Shen Congwen are the thinkers who shoulder the enlightenment mission. They are fulfilling the similar enlightenment posture by different ways, expressing their reflection upon the enlightenment. Lu Xun insists on enlightenment spirits between despair and hope, but Shen Congwen wanders between reality and ideal. At the same time, the difficult position of enlightenment deepened their understanding of the human nature, which has achieved the height of metaphysics.
