诺贝尔文学奖得主奥尔加·托卡尔丘克的《太古和其他的时间》以第二次世界大战为文本背景,以不同人物的人性叙事构建文本。本文从伦理学维度中的人形、天性、兽性三个视域出发,深入解读小说中虚构的太古村民的人形、天性、兽性的不同呈现,聚焦虚构文本的现实意义,以哲学的思维探讨虚构人物与真实人性的文本构建意义,通过虚构的太古村庄映射现实世界,揭示人性的内涵意义,展现作者深厚的艺术造诣。

Olga Tokarczuk,winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature,takes the Second World War as the textual background and constructs the text with the human nature narration of different characters. From three ethics perspectives,namely,human form,human nature,and beast nature,this article conducts an in-depth reading of the different renderings of the Primeval villagers in terms of human form,human nature,and the beast in the novel,focusing on the practical significance of the fictional text,with philosophy thought over the constructive meaning of human nature between the fictional and real characters,so as to reveal the humanity connotation through the presentation of the fictional ancient village mapping on the real world,as well as to show the artistic attainments achieved by the novel with a small ancient village to map out the whole world.
