从《我发现了》探析爱伦·坡的哲学思想

A Tentative Exploration of the Philosophical Thoughts of Edgar Allan Poe in Eureka

《我发现了》是爱伦.坡生前的最后一部重要作品。这部作品对天文学、物理学、逻辑学、神学等都有所涉及,而其主要价值则在于它对上帝、宇宙、人之间的关系所作的深刻阐述,即宇宙发端于上帝的意志并处于不断回归的趋势中,人类与世界合一,生命以扩散——回归——再生的模式处于永无休止的循环中。这既是爱伦.坡哲学思想的体现,也是他文学创作的指导思想。

Eureka is an exceptional work of Edgar Allan Poe. Poe expounded his views on astrono- my, physics, logic, theology and other fields, while the value of Eureka lies mainly in his philosophical thoughts of the relationship between man and the world. From his perspective, the universe originates from the will of God, and man is part of the universe. The universe recurs endlessly in a circle of radiation-return-radiation. The philosophical thoughts of Poe are also the guide of his literary creation.
