希腊古瓮中的时间与真理——对《希腊古瓮颂》的德勒兹式解读

Time and Truth in the Grecian Urn:Deleuzian Reading of Ode on a Grecian Urn

运用德勒兹关于真理的显现与意义的生成的哲学思想去解读济慈的名作《希腊古瓮颂》,可以对诗中的隽语“美即是真,真即是美”做出一种全新的阐释,即一种原初的绝对真理蕴含在艺术之中,受到美的艺术符号所激发而苏醒,并在这些艺术符号中不断地生成和显现。因而,“美即是真,真即是美”所突出的是真的激发与美的生成的过程。这一隽语似乎是在诉说,只有通过对于美的非理性的感知才能真正发现永恒的真理。

Through an interpretation of Keat’s Ode on a Grecian Urn using Deleuze’s philosophical thoughts on the appearance of truth and the generation of meaning,this paper suggests a new understanding of the poem’s“Beauty is truth,truth beauty”.An original,absolute truth which is embodied in art may be resuscitated by the stimulation of the beauty of artistic signs,and continuously generate and appear in the signs.Thus,"Beauty is truth,truth beauty"is underscoring the process of the stimulation of truth and the generation of beauty,which seems to imply that eternal truth is only shown under the irrational sense of beauty.
