青年恩格斯与“青年德意志”——对相关问题的再思考

Young Engels and Young Germany: Reflections on Related Issues

无论从恩格斯思想的整体性还是从其批评理论的整体性看,都确有必要重新审视文学青年恩格斯与文学派别"青年德意志"之间的关系。恩格斯对"青年德意志"的接受历经初步接触、诚心归附、自觉疏离、自我清算、严苛批判五个阶段。从时间看,它们发生在1839年1月至1851年9月间;从地理空间看,它们主要发生在不来梅、柏林、曼彻斯特等地。研究青年恩格斯与"青年德意志"的内在关联,既可以提供恩格斯文学思想相对完整的时间发生图,也可以为进一步探索恩格斯的文学思想与哲学思想、政治思想之间的多重关系拓展新的研究空间。

Considering the integrity of Engels' thoughts and the integrity of his literary theory,it is necessary to re-examine the relationship between Engels as a literary young man and Young Germany,the literary group. From January of 1839 to September of 1859,Engels took different attitudes towards Young Germany when traveling to Bremen,Berlin and Manchester,which can be divided into five stages: preliminary contact,sincere attachment,conscious alienation,deep introspection,and severe critique. The study of the interrelation between young Engels and Young Germany can provide a relatively comprehensive time diagram of Engels' literary thoughts,and help to explore further theoretical space from the overlap of Engels' literary,philosophical,and political ideas as well.
