中文摘要 | 本篇論文主要從約翰.傅敖斯的哲學作品The Aristos中,抽繹作者對宗教、哲學及小說寫作的看法,並以此為基礎,重新詮譯傅敖斯《魔法師》中的世界,研究作者如何在其小說寫作中,充分善用其對神、神戲(godgame)。文章更引道家無為(wu-wei)看法,以此架構出小說主角成長的路歷—從有為乃至於無為。傅敖斯深受存在主義影響,其作品往往闡明神的不存在,並側重描述人的成長;惟其早期小說中,小說主人翁的成長路程,卻常常得助於書中的神般人物(God-like figures)。傅敖斯對神與神戲的哲學看法,生命無常(hazard)的認知,甚或對於神與神的代言人的離場消失(the disappearance of God and agents of God),在在清楚演繹於其早期小說中。特別在《魔法師》這部長篇小說裏,神人出場、離場,從有為轉而無為而治的教化等等,亦可解釋人類的自由意志,最終仍左右著我們能否達到人生的彼岸—自我實現。 |
英文摘要 | The paper aims to re-examine one of John Fowles's early fiction, The Magus, using mainly the perspectives and concepts proposed in his own philosophical work, The Aristos, with a focus on how Fowles exerts the Taoist concept of wu-wei (無為) in rounding up the novel. Clearly an existentialist, Fowles believes not so much in the existence of God as manifested in his works, but in man’s probability of growing into the aristos, which is best exemplified in the characterization of all early Fowlesian protagonists, and ironically so with the aid of godgames. This paper deals with Fowles’s philosophical reasonings in The Aristos, how the world is governed by Law and Chaos, two conflicting forces of the universe, and finally how and why God has to withdraw Himself from his manipulative stance in the games. It is also a re-visioning of the Fowlesian world as demonstrated in his early fiction, where as we observe God does not exist, yet several of His agents, the aristoi, intrude in and then as a rule withdraw from the novelistic world.The emphasis of this paper proves to be on the progress of Fowlesian protagonists from you-wei (有為) towu-wei (無為), from manipulation to freedom. A pattern of Fowlesian heroes' existential journey towards aristos is broached; namely, all early Fowlesian heroes undergo illusion and disillusion in their initiation toward the Few, and with God-like figures' practice of wu-wei, of leaving the godgames designed for the protagonists, including the narrator's withdrawing from the novelistic scenes. The heroes are able to achieve their final freedom and self-authenticity in the typical open-ended closure(s) of Fowles's early fictional world. |
