基督教文化对周作人文学观的影响

分析了周作人“爱之福音”的文学观与基督教文化的关系。周作人认为,文学不仅与宗教关系极为密切,而且文学的发达大都出于宗教,虽然近代以来文学逐渐脱离宗教,但它们之间仍有很多相同和相通的地方,尤其是近代人道主义思想和文学与基督教的关系更为密切。基督教强调“爱”,周作人认为文学的终极价值也是“爱”与“同情”,而怨恨与文学的本质根本冲突。尽管周作人的主张与强调“反抗”、“复仇”的主流文学话语极不合拍,但他所强调的善待弱者,关爱生命,警惕任何把人当作工具的观念和一切怨恨、报复等非理性情绪,做一个成熟而理性的现代公民,无论如何都是一笔珍贵的财富。

The Influence of Christianity on Zhou Zuoren''''s Literature View

This paper mainly analyses the relations between Zhou Zuoren's literature views of "Gospel of love" and Christian culture.Zhou Zuoren held that literature not only had close relations with religion,but mostly its development also originated from religion;although literature gradually got separated from religion since modern times,but there were many common places between them,especially modern humanitarianist thought and literature had closer relations with Christianity.Zhou Zuoren thought literature's final values were also "love" and "sympathy",resentment fundamentally conflicted with the essence of literature.This paper holds that Zhou Zuoren's views were not consistent with the main stream of the literature that emphasized on "rebellion" and "resentment",but his strong views,such as treating the weak kindly,being concerned with life,watching out for views that looked human as a tool and all irrational sentiments of resentment and revenge,respecting law,being a mature modern citizen of rationality,were precious wealth in any case.
