摘要
英国著名小说家安东尼·伯吉斯的小说《发条橙》、《饥渴的种子》用象征手法描绘了构建乌托邦的思想基础——"决定论"与人类的"自由意志"的冲突。小说分别从暴力犯罪、人口爆炸等重大现实问题入手,考察人类是否应该被取消作恶的能力、排除非乌托邦的思想,以此造就一个纯粹的社会。小说思考了渊源悠久的"善/恶""原罪"等问题,演绎了人类社会在"贝拉基阶段""中间阶段"及"奥古斯丁阶段"之间转换的循环现象,回应了乌托邦社会工程理论,反驳了乌托邦理念。
The Clockwork Orange and The Wanting Seed are anti-utopian novels written by the renowned British writer Anthony Burgess,aiming at criticizing the controversial utopian plan.The phenomena of violent crime and population boom are discussed in the novels respectively,and both novels deal with the issue of original sin as well as the argument between advocators of free will and determinism,which is the principal of utopian thoughts.To realize utopia,should the individuals be disabled from committing crime and forced to devote themselves to the utopian social construction? In the two novels,the social cycle which works from Pelagian Phase,Intermediate Phase to Augustinian Phase in human history undermines the foundation of utopian thoughts.
