卡夫卡诠释下的自由《美国》

Kafka's Interpretation of Free America

卡夫卡在其小说《美国》中,借用主人公卡尔.罗斯曼无根的漂泊经历,准确地刻画并预言了属于人类的找寻自由,却注定被频频放逐的宿命。而对于命运的哲学思考,以及对于偶然性与必然性的辩证认识,也正是卡夫卡心中存在宿命感的体现。在卡夫卡眼里,于"寻找"和"发现"之间,也许唯有放弃寻找,才能最终发现人生的答案。

In America, Kafka uses the rootless roaming of its main character Karl Rossmann to illustrate and prophesy precisely the fate of mankind, i.e. pursuit of freedom but is always in exile. For Kafka, a philosophical reflection of fate, and a dialectical understanding of chanciness and inevitability are exactly the embodiment of his sense of predestination. In his eyes, between ＂search＂ and ＂discovery＂, perhaps only when we give up our search shall we finally discover the ultimate meaning of life.
