拉金城市诗歌:精神生态危机和诗意生存向往

Larkin's Urban Poems:Man's Spiritual Ecological Crisis and Longing for Poetic Dwelling on the Earth

菲利普·拉金的诗歌蕴含了丰富的生态思想,反映了都市人的精神生态危机和对诗意栖息于大地的向往。其中精神生态危机具体表现为人的精神生存化展布困境,以人的异化感、疏离感、焦虑、压抑等为主要症候。从生态理性哲学角度来看,产生这样危机的症结主要在于经济、政治、社会环境以及科技革命对人精神生存化展布的限制。拉金在诗歌中表达了对都市人精神生态危机的高度关注,以及对人类物质欲望和科技至上的批判。同时,通过对自然美景的描绘,诗人表达了都市人向往诗意栖息于大地,与万生万物和谐共处的生态整体思想。
