摘要
安东尼·伯吉斯的小说《发条橙》不仅因其实验性和先锋性而引人注目,更因影射其中的哲学思考而发人深省。伯吉斯在小说中展现了道德选择权和技术社会的对立,强调了道德选择权的重要性超越一切。本文以主人公亚历克斯道德选择权的得失为主线,分析了亚历克斯从恶人——非人——人的回归过程,再现了作者的创作意图:人必须拥有道德选择权,善和恶都必须出于自己的选择,否则人将不再是人,而是一只发条橙罢了。
Great attention has been attracted to Anthony Burgess' novel A Clockwork Orange not only because of its bold experiment on language and style but also because of its provoking philosophy. In the novel, Burgess demonstrates the opposition between moral choice and technical society and he attaches tremendous importance to the freedom of moral choice. By analyzing the process of the hero-Alex's transformation from a bad man with free moral choice to a non-man without free moral choice and to a man with the freedom of moral choice, this paper aims to highlight the theme of the novel: a man must have the freedom of moral choice, and he can choose to be bad or good of his own free will. If not, he is not a human being but a clockwork orange.
