浮士德文化视角下的早期英语谚语

Faust Culture in Early English Proverbs

早期英语谚语中的文化内涵除了可以从两希哲学的角度加以观照,还可以从浮士德文化的角度来解读,其中包括否定世界整体实体性的宇宙观、导归无限的人生目的性,以及克制、反思和博爱的实践对于达成永恒的至关重要性等等。这是由早期英语谚语所具有的高度存在、实用性质以及浮士德文化作为一种具有强烈存在和实践色彩的心灵形式所决定的。

Besides Greek. and Hebrew philosophies, the cultural elements in early English proverbs can also be seen from the perspective of Faust culture, which includes the denial of the general substantiality of the world, purpose of human life as being pointing forever to Eternity, as well as the importance of temperance, self-examination and fraternity to the attainment of Eternity. This is made possible by the highly existent and practical nature of both early English proverbs and Faust Culture.
