“垮掉一代”道之行

Beat Generation's Journey to Taoism

"垮掉一代"深受道家文化影响,表现在其绝对自由的"至乐"观、无所束缚的"逍遥游"以及其无为之为、无言之言等方面。道家文化对"垮掉一代"的影响,因时空语境不同而呈现不同表征,但透过现象看本质,道家思想在这一代人生活创作中根深蒂固。

This paper gives an exploration into how Taoism plays a part in shaping Beat Generation from the four following dimensions,first,perfect happiness developed from absolute freedom,then ' wandering in absolute freedom' without any commitment,then non-action action,and finally unnaming.Being in different times and space,Taoism's influence on Beat Generation undergoes some variations,but essentially,it is still deeply rooted in Beat Generation's life and writing.
