文学虚构的人类学价值

现实的复杂多变和难以理解,使虚构具备不同于过去的含义。文学虚构比宗教虚构、法律虚构等更具有穿透性,能够让人类的自我认识和自我扩展得到实现,从而超越庸常的现实。伊瑟尔认为文学虚构之所以具有人类学的意味,就因为它通过表演和游戏把那种不可表现的可能性世界创造出来了,它的人类学价值就体现在对现实世界的超越和对自我的扩展上。被现实所限制的我们,借助虚构行为我们能够接近存在的本质,即生命的丰富意蕴。

The Anthropological Value of Literary Fictionality

The reality's complexity,variability,and incomprehensibility causes the fictive to take on new meanings that did not exist before.Literary fictionality is more valuable than the religious fictionality and the legal fictionality,able to realize human self-knowing and self-extension and overstep the real world.Wolfgang Iser argues that literary fictionality always is linked to the human dispositions and is of anthropological value because it can create the world of possibility which is not able to be represented through the performance and the play of the text.Its anthropological value lies in its being able to take us beyond the limits of what we are in reality.let us find Existence of human beings,that is to say,let us learn through the complicated life.Though constrained by reality,we can still approach the essential of being,i.e.the rich implications of life.
