从《分成两半的子爵》看信仰的困境

Analyzing the Belief Dilemma from The Cloven Viscount

《分成两半的子爵》是意大利作家卡尔维诺的经典之作,小说取材于宗教战争的历史典故,以寓言的形式展现了西方宗教衰落之后现代社会的精神危机。文章运用尼采及伊格尔顿对西方宗教的论述,试图在神学思想中寻找卡尔维诺的智性话语,以探求现代人"分裂"的解决途径:分裂为两半的子爵暗含着基督教"善恶观"的艺术变形;追寻"完整"的宗旨预示着回归古老和谐的价值体系。这是一个现代派作家对于信仰困境的哲思,也是卡尔维诺对西方人精神世界的引领。

The Cloven Viscount is a classic novel written by Italian writer Italo Calvino.The novel is based on historical allusions of religious wars,and shows spirituous crisis of modern society in the form of fable after the failure of western religion.This novel applies Nietzsche and Eagleton＇s discourse on western religions,and tries to find the intellectual discourse of Calvino in theological thought so as to explore the solution of the ＂split＂ of modern people：The cloven viscount implies an art deformation of the Christian＇s idea of ＂good and evil＂;the pursuit of ＂integrity＂ is a signal of returning to the ancient value system of harmony.This is a modern writer＇s philosophy thought for dilemma of belief,as well as Italo Calvino＇s leading of the westerners＇ spiritual world.
