《水浒传》忠义伦理的悲剧精神

The paradox of loyalty in The Outlaws of Marsh

《水浒传》是一部带有浓厚史诗意蕴的忠义伦理悲剧。它不仅是对正史"忠义传"所引发的英雄入史情绪的深刻反省,更是对封建忠义伦理规范的反思批判。它以宋江等梁山好汉对于忠义伦理的践行及其必然失败的命运为对象,揭露了忠义伦理的逻辑悖论及愚民本质。同时,也指明了忠义伦理并非儒学、理学幻化的形上整体,而是忠与义两个伦理系统的辩证否定。对忠义伦理实质认识不足的梁山好汉的忠义实践引发了多重的精神情感危机,他们事败身死,尝尽烦忧,得到的却是无限的悲怆。其悲剧精神最终在带有浓厚仪式性、狂热化的宗教式的显圣叙事中达到了圆融的境界。
