论西方悲剧意识的哲学基础

On the philosophical basis of Westen consciousness of tragedy

西方的悲剧意识源于对有限性的认识。面对完美整一的宇宙本体 ,作为有限存在的人自然生出强烈的渴求 ,但有限性注定了人只可能无止境地接近生命本体 ,却永远无法达到它 ,永恒的悲剧感这样就产生了。古希腊文化内在性的匮乏 ,悲剧的动力只是外在的。基督教把信仰转向内在性。崇高和象征是内在性的表现 ,是西方近现代悲剧的两个重要特征。在后现代主义悲剧中 ,崇高和象征丧失了 ,结果是悲剧走向末路。

The consciousness of tragedy originates in human being' knowledge of its limitations. The deficiently of internality, unit be considered as one feature of Greek culture, made the motion force of Greek tragedy extrinsic. It is Christianity changed the extrinsic belief internality. Loftiness and symbolization are two important features of West modern times tragedies. In pale with disappearance of Loftiness and symbolism, the west tragedy faded away.
