惠特曼泛神论自然观蕴涵的意义

On the Significations of Walt Whitman’s Pantheistic Outlook on Nature

惠特曼认为,自然界中每一样事物都折射着神性,并由此形成了他的泛神论自然观。神性自然使得惠特曼的自然观呈现了复杂而丰富的意义。一方面他的自然观蒙上了"神秘主义"色彩,蕴涵了作者对于生与死深沉思考的宇宙意识;另外他对自然景物的直接描写,则显示了他对自然单纯美的欣赏,这使泛神论自然观蕴涵的审美意义得以呈现。

Walt Whitman believes that everything in nature reflects divinity, which contributes to the formation of his pantheistic outlook on nature. Divine nature endows Whitman’s pantheistic outlook on nature with complex and rich meanings. On the one hand, Whitman’s view of nature is cast with a scent of mysticism which embodies his cosmic awareness of his deep contemplations over life and death. On the other hand, his direct description of natural scenery shows his simple appreciation of pure beauty in nature, which unfolds the aesthetic significations in his pantheistic outlook on nature.
