超越伦理的形而上追问——鲁迅《颓败线的颤动》的宗教哲学意义

Metaphysical Inquiry Beyond Ethics--The Religious Significance of Lu Xun's Trembling of the Decadent Line

《颓败线的颤动》的主旨,并不是伦理批判。老妇人“已经荒废的、颓败的身躯全面都颤动”在精神哲学上与克尔凯郭尔笔下的亚伯拉罕杀子献祭上帝的故事具有类似性:它们都采用旷野呼告的形式,以超越伦理的目光和在绝望中觉悟最高真理的悖论方式展开对新的精神哲学的呼唤,具有宗教哲学的暗喻价值。既有的价值观在此崩溃。鲁迅以此为中国人呼唤新的哲学作尝试,问鼎受难人生的真理。

The gist of Trembling of the Decadent Line is not ethical criticism.The old woman's"ruined and decadent body trembling all over"is similar in spiritual philosophy to the story of Abra⁃ham's sacrificing his son for God described by Kierkegaard:They both have adopted the form of call⁃ing in the wilderness,calling for a new spiritual philosophy in a paradoxical way of transcending eth⁃ics and realizing the highest truth in despair,which has the metaphorical value of religious philosophy.The existing values collapsed henceforth.Lu Xun actually tried to use the form of a paradox to call for a new philosophy for Chinese people and to seek the truth of the suffering life.
