末日神话视域下的多丽丝·莱辛苏非哲学探究:以《第八号行星代表的产生》为例

Doris Lessing’s Sufi Philosophy in the View of Apocalyptic Myth:The Making of the Representative for Planet 8

多丽丝·莱辛的苏非哲学既不同于宗教,也不是完全照搬传统的苏非派思想,而是西方接受者视域下的具有积极践行力的苏非主义哲学思想。其宇宙小说《第八号行星代表的产生》在末日神话的视域下,通过对希腊神话中的'丢卡利翁和皮拉'洪水神话和《圣经·创世纪》中的'诺亚方舟'洪水神话进行改写,呼唤生命的深度觉醒,并叩问人类的终极命运,尝试寻找'我是谁'、'我们是谁'以及'生命的本质是什么'等问题的答案,呈现出苏非主义哲学的智慧,为当代人类的精神困境提供了一条新的思想途径。
