文学研究中的本质主义问题

Essentialism in Literature Study

本质主义/反本质主义之争是流贯西方哲学史的基本问题,经修正的本质主义较之反本质主义更具说服力。一些文学研究者追随反本质主义思潮提出文学反本质主义,但对本质主义和本质论缺乏必要区分。他们没有注意到西方美学界反本质主义的失利,对一些西方文论大家的本质主义也存在明显的误读。因此。

The essentialism /anti-essentialism dispute is a continual problem in the Western philosophy.The revised essentialism is more convincing than the anti-essentialism.Some literature researchers propose literature anti-essentialism by accepting the anti-essentialism.However,they have not considered the differences between essentialism and theory of essence.They have overlooked the failure of anti-essentialism in the west esthetics,and have misread the essentialism of some important western literature researchers.Therefore,there might emerge some new essentialism in literature research.
