库切作品中的人文思想——一种儒学的视角

一直以来,国内外库切研究者普遍认为库切创作思想与欧美及南非文学和文化有着紧密联系,而对于其与包括中国文化在内的其他文化之间的关联则未曾论及。事实上,库切在多部作品中都或多或少涉及到中国及中国元素,对中国文化乃至古代中国都有一定了解。通过对库切传记的考察,甚至可以挖掘出他与儒家文化的姻缘。文章尝试论证库切创作与中国文化的关联,重点考察其作品中的刑罚观、大同思想等契合儒家人文思想的伦理和政治观念,以期呈现库切作品中的多元文化思想,体现其作为一名跨文化作家的思想深度,同时显示中国儒家思想的当代价值和普适性意义。 

A Confucian Reading of Humanistic Thoughts in J.M.Coetzee's Works

There has always been a consensus among the critics that J.M.Coetzee'works are intellectually anchored in the cultural metropolis of Europe and the United States,and they also belong to South African literature.Thus the correlation between his works and Chinese culture has never been covered.In fact, however, many of his writings have touched upon China or Chinese elements more or less,and Coetzee himself has really known what Chinese culture and even ancient China were.We readers can even dig out the relation of Coetzee with Confucian culture from his biography.The present paper attempts to exploit the relation with the focus on humanism on penalty concept and Great Harmony thought in the writer's works which are in line with Confucianism,revealing his multicultural thought as well as the universal significance of Confucianism.
