摘要：论文结合《文艺复兴》和《马里乌斯》等作品,探讨沃尔特·佩特的唯美主义与宗教理论之间的关系,并揭示他的文化理论。佩特继承了席勒的审美教育理论和阿诺德的文化理论,试图在现代社会的知识经验条件下,通过对希腊思想以及基督教传统的价值重塑,建立能够培育完整人性的理想文化。伊壁鸠鲁主义承载了佩特的唯美主义思想,伊壁鸠鲁主义式的唯美主义鼓励追求美好事物,吸纳优秀思想,具有宗教般的严肃性与神圣性。另一方面,早期基督精神滋养人性,具有人文主义精神,开放兼容,展现出优雅和美。与阿诺德将希腊与希伯来文化结合的路径不同,佩特侧重的是说明伊壁鸠鲁主义的神圣性,寻找基督精神的人文性,说明两者的内在一致。佩特的理论不仅限于提倡“为艺术而艺术”,而是一种文化理论。
This article examines Walter Pater's cultural theory by exploring the relationship between his aesthetic and religious thought.Building upon Friedrich Shiller's theory of aesthetic education and Matthew Arnold's cultural theory,Pater seeks to cultivate an ideal culture grounded in the completeness of humanity through a reevaluation of Greek culture and early Christianity.Epicureanism embodies Pater's aesthetic theory.Epicurean aestheticism promotes openness and inclusivity,encouraging the pursuit of diverse experiences and the embrace of all excellent ideas,including those of Christianity.Epicurean devotion to beauty is elevated to a form of sacred religiousness.At the same time,Pater praises second-century Christianity for nourishing human nature and embodying a Christianity of humanism.Unlike Arnold,who sought to synthesize Greek and Hebrew cultures,Pater's writings reveal an inner consistency between the sacredness and sincerity of Epicureanism and the humanism of early Christianity.His theory thus moves beyond“art for art's sake”to demonstrate broader cultural significance.
