普鲁塔克《论学诗》中的伊壁鸠鲁与“诗与哲学之争”!

Epicurus and the “Debate between Poetry and Philosophy”in Plutarch's De audiendis poetis

普鲁塔克在《论学诗》中两次提到伊壁鸠鲁。这两次对伊壁鸠鲁的提及分别位于文章首尾集中讨论诗与哲学关系的段落里。伊壁鸠鲁被第一次提到时,他是以普鲁塔克的对手形象出现的;而第二次时,他则成了普鲁塔克的盟友。考察普鲁塔克在《论学诗》中为我们展现的伊壁鸠鲁形象,不仅有助于我们对普鲁塔克诗教思想的理解,而且也有助于我们认识和理解"诗与哲学之争"的古老话题。

Plutarch mentions Epicurus twice in his De audiendis poetis. These two mentions appear separately in the beginning and the end of the essay,both of which focus on the relationship between poetry and philosophy. Epicurus appears as an adversary at the first time,while he becomes an ally of Plutarch at the second time. The examine of Epicurus in the De audiendis poetis can help us understand Plutarch's doctrine of education through poetry and the ancient 'debate between philosophy and poetry'.
