反思“进步”:《伤逝》与《心》对西方话语的重构

Rethinking "Progress":The Reconstruction of Western Discourse in Sadness and Kokoro

近代中国和日本被迫打开国门,以西方为师,谋求本国发展。鲁迅和夏目漱石处于这一大变革时期,对时代做出了自己的反映。鲁迅的《伤逝》和夏目漱石的《心》通过类似的伦理困境的塑造,反思视角由外及里,表现了对利己主义的批判。在此基础上,《伤逝》是对统摄在西方理性主义下的启蒙话语的反思,《心》则表现对日本接受西方个人主义的重构。两人表现出对当时处于无可争议地位的进步西方话语的再思考和以本土文化调和西方话语的尝试。

In modern times,China and Japan were forced to open their doors and use the West as a teacher to seek their own development.Lu Xun and Natsume Soseki were in this period of great change and made their own reflections of the times.Throught similar ethical dilemmas Lu Xun’s Sadness and Natsume So seki’s Kokoro reflect the perspective from the outside to the inside,and express a critique of egoism.On this basis,Sadness reflects on the enlightenment discourse dominated by Western rationalism,while Kokoro shows the reconstruction of Japan’s acceptance of Western individualism.The two expressed their rethinking of the progressive Western discourse,which was in an indisputable position at the time,and an attempt to reconcile Western discourse with local culture.
