论《格列佛游记》中的生态美学观

Ecological Aesthetics in the Novel Gulliver’s Travels

生态中心主义强调人与自然是平等的,应和谐相处,共同发展。乔纳森·斯威夫特《格列佛游记》中的自然之美、人与自然的交融之美以及对“诗意栖居地”的追求都体现了当代生态美学的主要观点。斯威夫特在描写自然景物时,竭力塑造人与自然和谐相处的美好画面,他向往的并不是那种纯粹的、没有生命参与的或者二元对立的自然界,而是想构建一种自然与万物相互联系、相互尊重、一片祥和的生活方式。斯威夫特透过小说主人公的视角,为读者展现了一幅人与自然同生共荣的理想生态蓝图,为人类找到了最理想的“诗意栖居地”。

Ecocentralism emphasizes that human and nature are equal,and they should coexist in harmony and develop together.The beauty of nature,the harmonious beauty between human and nature,and the pursuit of“poetic habitat”in Jonathan Swift’s novel Gulliver’s Travels all reflect the main viewpoints of contemporary ecological aesthetics.Swift made efforts to create a beautiful picture of harmony between human and nature by describing the natural scenery.What Swift yearned for is not a pure,lifeless or binary nature,but a way of life in which nature and all things are interconnected,mutually respected and peaceful.Through the perspective of the hero in the novel,Swift showed readers an ideal ecological blueprint that human and nature coexist harmoniously,and found the ideal“poetic habitat”for human beings.
