哲学的解读与古典的语境:试析《俄狄浦斯王》的阅读策略

Philosophical Interpretation and Classical Context:An Analysis of the Reading Strategy on The Oedipus Tyrannus

古希腊悲剧诗人索福克勒斯的《俄狄浦斯王》作为希腊悲剧的典范,是一部在西方思想界被解读得最多的作品,对它的解读,能够生发开去的面向很多,不同的解读视角能够带来不同的阅读和观剧效果。本文试图在是跟从现代诸思潮还是返回古典语境这一问题意识的基础上讨论,哲学式的解读是要把读者引向怎样的一种方向?而关注古典语境的阅读立场又能给读者带来怎样的阅读体验?并最终认为任何解读都应该紧扣文本,在借鉴现代思想找寻切入角度和方法论的同时,也要警惕现代思潮和方法理论本身的局限性,要注意理论的有效性边界何在。

As a model of Greek tragedy,The Oedipus Tyrannus by Sophocles is a work that has been interpre-ted in many ways in the Western intellectual circles.There are a lot of directions that can be derived from its inter-pretation,and different interpretative perspectives can bring about different effects of reading and watching the play.This paper attempts to determine whether to follow the modern ideological thoughts or return to classical con-text so as to discuss what direction the philosophical interpretation is trying to lead the readers to and what reading experience can the classical context bring to the readers.The author believes that any interpretation should be close to the text.While drawing on modern thought to find the angle of entry and methodology,it is also necessary to be alert to the limitations of modern thoughts and methodological theories themselves,and to pay attention to the boundaries of theoretical validity.
