摘要
20世纪英国小说家艾丽丝·默多克的早期代表作《独角兽》采用限定性叙述视角,展现了麦克斯、艾菲汉等一系列人物以理性为认知自我、他人与世界的武器,最终走向失败的故事。从表面看,他们的认知局限源于文本的不可靠叙述,但其根源在于小说人物的身体认知价值被理性长期遮蔽。其实,从身体认知角度看,该小说是一次借肉身哲学抗拒西方僵化理性文明的思想实验。
Iris Murdoch＇s early work The Unicorn tells a story of ultimate failure,in which characters use reason as a weapon to recognize themselves,others and the world.The characters＇ limited cognition,seemingly a result of unreliable narration,lies in the fact that the cognitive value of body has long been eclipsed by reason in the West.From the perspective of body cognition,the novel conducts a thought experiment with body philosophy to resist reason-based Western civilization.
