叶芝《基督重临》中“大记忆”蕴含的《易经》辩证哲学

Analysis of “Spiritus mundi”in Yeats' s The Second Coming from perspective of I-Ching philosophy

叶芝的作品充满了多种宗教信义,"大记忆"就是其中之一。"大记忆"是叶芝在对东西方种种秘术亲身实践的基础上创立的与宗教息息相关的术语。叶芝的神秘宗教信义与《易经》的辩证哲学有着相通之处,二者均体现了人在社会变迁中思想精神的发展。从《易经》阴阳辩证哲学观点视角对叶芝《基督重临》(The Second Coming)的"大记忆"进行分析,探讨"大记忆"的成因及其蕴含的普世精神,并论证二者所蕴涵世界精神的互补与共存。

William Butler Yeats is one of the most famous poets in the twentieth century. His works containing a great deal of religious beliefs have been largely prevalent.＂Spiritus mundi＂ is one of his religious beliefs that had been founded based on his personal experiences of east and west occultism. I-Ching,one of Chinese classical philos-ophy,has similarity toYeats’religious beliefs. They both present dialectical relationship and development of objec-tive things. The paper tries to analyze Spiritus mundi in The Second Coming from the perspective of Occultism,ai-ming at probing the genesis and containing world spirit of＂Spiritus mundi＂as well as the similarity between Yeats’ religious beliefs and philosophy of I-Ching.
