Abstract
Henry David Thoreau, who was ignored and dismissed by his contemporaries, now has become a global figure as the saint and pioneer of environmental protection. This study intends to explore Thoreau’s life philosophy on man and nature encountering the industrial civilization, which he believed caused the life alienation of nature and human beings. In his reflection on industrial civilization, Thoreau inquired into the rationality of science and technology, recognized the exploitation of life under the guidance of rationality and objected to the material culture in which people’s lives were eroded and degraded. Beneath his fierce critiques, there is a great concern about the existence and development of the whole universal life. He tried to find an ideal solution to the crises of natural ecology and spiritual ecology of human beings. His critiques on industrial civilization and his cosmological beliefs of life are still enlightenment for the alienated people of today. The author thinks that Chinese people could also gain some revelation from Thoreau’s life philosophy. Firstly, it stimulates us to rediscover and reinterpret the Chinese classics, which have been ignored in China in the past 100 years, and to find our own eco-wisdom; Secondly, it forces us to reflect on China’s development of modernization.
Abstract
Lao She’s novel Cat Country, published in 1932, was one of the greatest satirical allegories in world literature, which nearly helped the author win the Nobel Prize for Literature in the year 1966. This essay tries to point out that the novel is a full-scale exposition of the then cultural and political darkness. It forewarns the numb national people that the whole civilization would soon be destroyed, or rather self-destroyed, even without any foreign invasion. Most of the “national flaws” which led to the complete destruction of Cat Country still persist, to different degrees, in the current Chinese society. The future of our community is contingent on whether we could face and get rid of those “weaknesses.” But to begin with, the national people have to be awakened to the sordid reality that they have been indulging in for centuries. The essay concludes that Cat Country still bears with it the penetrating satirical power even in the contemporary world, 75 years after its first publication, for the novel has exposed many despicable defects in human nature, which could not be confined to only one single era, or one particular culture.
Abstract
Although the mediaval church preached that happiness was possible only in the afterlife if one pursued a virtuous and pious existence on earth, both a number of poets and of philosophers outlined avenues for the opposite approach. John Buridan strongly defended the idea that human life should be based on happiness, and Marie de France outlined clear strategies for her literary protagonists to realize this dream during their earthly existence. In this article both their testimonies, but also those of Hartmann von Aue, Walther von der Vogelweide, Giovanni Boccaccio, and Albertanus da Brescia are considered as support for the thesis that medieval people did accept, at least under special circumstances, a very secular position with respect to human happiness. The literary and philosophical documents do not belittle or undermine the theological arguments, instead they simply open new perspectives which demonstrate considerable anthropological similarities between people in medieval and modern Europe.
