对人类生存本相的探寻——《小说的兴起》的文化分析意义

Search for the Nature of Survival of Humanity—The Meaning of Cultural Analysis on the Rise of Novel

小说是伴随着近代资产阶级的兴起而形成的一种体裁。小说的故事、人物、情节都是为了反映背后的本相。虚构的小世界是这个本相的"物质内容","真理内容"既包括对人的价值的追问,也包括道德探索。同时小说形式的成熟也与资本的支持、媒体的发展有密切关系。伊恩·瓦特的《小说的兴起》从哲学、社会学、文本考据等方面回答了这些问题。

Novel is a type of literature which is accompanied by the rise of the modern bourgeoisie.Stories,characters,plot of the novel reflect the nature behind.The fictional small-world is the 'material content' of the nature;'truth content' includes not only the inquiry on human values but also moral exploration.At the same time,the maturity of novel forms is closely related to the capital support and the development of media.Ian Watt's 'Rise of the Novel' answers these questions from the areas of philosophy,sociology and textual research of the text.
