天人迷思——泰戈尔与冯唐的文明观比较

Myth of Heaven and Man——Comparison of Tagore and Feng Tang’s Views on Civilization

中国当代作家冯唐因其对《飞鸟集》争议性的翻译引发了广泛的讨论,但其翻译选择显示了他与泰戈尔之间思想上的共契。冯唐与泰戈尔的思想联系主要体现在他们对文明与自然的思考,即两人的文明观上。泰戈尔的文明观主要表现在针对个人和针对人类两个向度,他要求在个体和群体的层面克服对权力的迷恋,皈依自然神性。冯唐的文明观主要通过他的小说创作体现出来,他将文明视为同时容纳欲望和仰望自由的存在形态。两位作家文明观的异同集中在对待融通自然和人工智巧的态度上,二者都有着对自然的强烈追求,泰戈尔将其发展为对人工智巧的排斥,冯唐则将其与人工智巧整合为内在统一的整体。泰戈尔与冯唐文明观的分异,源于他们不同的历史时代语境、家庭成长背景和创作本位观念。阐明泰戈尔与冯唐跨越时代和民族的文明观对话,有助于从更深的层面理解泰戈尔的思想体系及其对于当代文化建设的意义。

An extensive discussion has been aroused about the contemporary Chinese writer Feng Tang due to his controversial translation of Stray Birds,although the choice of translation also shows an ideological agreement between him and Tagore.The ideological connection between Feng Tang and Tagore lies primarily in their views on civilization,namely their thinking about civilization and nature.Tagore’s idea revolves around individual-oriented and human-targeted dimensions.He demands that both individuals and groups should shed the fascination with power and convert to natural divinity.Feng Tang’s thoughts of civilization are mainly reflected in his creation of novels.He regards civilization as a form of coexistence that embraces desire and at the same time looks forward to freedom.The similarities and differences between the two writers’views on civilization are highlighted by their attitudes towards the integration of nature and human ingenuity.They both have a strong passion for nature.Tagore develops it into a rejection of human ingenuity,while Feng Tang unifies them into an intrinsic whole.Their disparate views on civilization stem from their varied historical context,family background,and writing standard idea.To clarify the dialogue between Tagore and Feng Tang’s views on civilization across times and nations will contribute to a deeper understanding of Tagore’s ideological system and its significance for contemporary cultural development.
