论《血色子午线》对个体生存之路的探寻

On the Exploration of Individual Existence in Blood Meridian

作为一种历久弥新的哲思,存在主义给予了当代美国作家科马克·麦卡锡以丰富的创作灵感。在麦氏的西部小说《血色子午线》中,不懈叩问生之意义的"那小子"和"判官"不仅分别体现了麦氏对克尔凯郭尔"孤独"和尼采"超人"学说的认识与理解,更反映了麦氏对当今社会个体生存之路的反思和探寻。

Existentialism, as a philosophical thought with an everlasting charisma, endows the contemporary American writer Cormac McCarthy with a rich source of creative inspiration. In Blood Meridian, McCarthy＇s first western novel, the kid＇s and the Judge＇s unremitting quests for the meaning of life have not only displayed McCarthy＇s comprehensive understanding of Kierkegaard idea of ＂Isolation＂ and Nietzsche＇s concept of ＂Super- man＂, but also revealed his in - depth contemplation on the existence of individual human being.
