摘要
"非利士主义"在维多利亚文化研究中具有丰富的语义,阿诺德将英国中产阶级命名为"非利士人",凸显了这个基督教国家主流社会庸俗市侩、追逐实利和远离理性的特征。乔治·爱略特的小说《丹尼尔·德龙达》中并置着两个世界:一是非利士主义占据的基督教社群,一是文化视野更为光明博大的犹太社群。爱略特对非利士文化进行了自内而外的审视和反思。本应与犹太教希伯来宗教传统一脉相承的基督教英国,却被信仰缺失的现代非利士人占据,而边缘犹太人中却出现护佑希伯来传统的"光明之子",为倾颓的基督教文明提供了光明的指引。
Endowed with various connotations,＂Philistinism＂was employed by Matthew Arnold to designate English Middle-classes,featuring their pursuits of practical conveniences,provinciality,commonplaces and their inaccessibility to ideas and reason. In Daniel Deronda,George Eliot juxtaposes two worlds—a Christian nation permeated with Philistinism and a Jewish community immersed in broader and brighter cultural perspective. George Eliot poses an insightful reflection and critique on Philistinism. Christian Britain,supposed to inherit Hebraism from Judaism,lets Pagan Philistinism run rampant,while the ＂Children of Light＂emerge in the marginalized Jewish community,serving as the guiding forces to galvanize the tottering Christian civilization.
