“透明的荒诞”与“纯洁的逻辑”——论《卡利古拉》中的暴虐启蒙

加缪戏剧主人公古罗马暴君卡利古拉对于"不可能之域"的追求,是以对价值领域里的"不可能性"的突破来代替对事实领域的"不可能性"的征服,两者的错位进一步凸显了存在的荒诞性。卡利古拉的所有暴行皆意在某种表达,这种表达采取了一贯的纯粹而执著的逻辑形式,以"求真去蔽"为目的,这一切构成某种关于存在之荒诞真相的"暴虐启蒙"。

The ＂Transparent Absurdity＂ and the ＂Pure Logic＂： On the Violent Enlightenment in Camus＇s Caligula

Caligula＇ s pursuit for ＂the realm of impossibility＂ in Camus＇s drama about this Roman tyrant, means the breaking of the boundaries and the invasion into ＂the realm of impossibility＂ in terms of values rather than facts and the dislocation of them further highlights the absurdity of human existence. The point of all Caligula ＇ s atrocities lies in his intentional expressions and performances, which take a coherent form of ＂pure and persistent logic＂, and aim at ＂uncovering the truth of life＂. All of these constitute some ＂violent enlightenment＂ about the absurd truth of being in this play.
