从梅洛-庞蒂哲学看《奥吉·马奇历险记》

An Interpretation of the Adventures of Augie March from the Perspective of Merlau-Ponty's philosophy

结合法国哲学家梅洛-庞蒂的身体哲学对《奥吉·马奇历险记》进行分析,可以发现在主人公奥吉身体意识的早期阶段,外部世界对他而言是作为一种强大的异己力量存在的;在他身体意识的发展阶段,外部世界成了他可以利用的对象;在其身体意识的成熟阶段,外部世界成了他展开平等对话的对象。通过对主人公在不同阶段的身体意识阶段对世界的认知的描述,贝娄表达了关注人的身体本身和尊重生命价值的伦理思想。

The Adventures of Augie March is a novel written by Saul Bellow who was a famous Jewish American writer and winner of Nobel Prize for Literature in 1976. In the interpretation of The Adventures of Augie March from the perspective of Merlau-Ponty＇s body philosophy,it was found that in the early stage of his body awareness,the outside world was an overwhelming and strange force for Augie,the hero of the novel. In the developing stage of his body awareness,the outside world became something to be taken advantage of for him,while in the mature stage,the outside world became the object that he could hold equal dialogue with. With the description of the hero＇s different understanding of the world in different stages,Bellow expresses his ethical idea of paying attention to human body itself and respecting the value of life.
