论《庄子·逍遥游》中的理性精神

On the Rational Spirit in Zhuangzi's Fables

庄子用寓言来讲故事 ,在寓言中又用比喻的方法来说明道理、阐述自己的观点。寓言与比喻的交错使用 ,大寓言套小寓言 ,寓言中有比喻 ,使得文章充满了无法直接理解而只能体悟的意象性特征。庄子用重言的方式增加对寓言故事真实性的强调 ,在神话时代不言自明的东西在理性时代却需要强调了。这种自觉性表现出来的强烈的理性思维特征 ,即是神话色彩的逐渐消退 。

Zhuangzi tells story through fables,in which he utilizes metaphors to claboratc theories and his own point of view.His fables and metaphors are mutually used, that is ,smaller fables embedded in larger ones and metaphors in fables.That imbues his articles with imgistic characteristics which can only be realized rather than directly comprehended.Zhuangzi's fables enhance the authenticity of stories,something self-evident in the age of myth is einforced in the age of reason.The rational thinking characteristics represented by subjectivity indicate the decline of and constant rise of myth rational spirit.
