摘要/Abstract

内容摘要： 威廉·戈尔丁的小说《继承者》讲述了原始社会新人部落对尼安德特人部落的屠杀和灭绝。在尼采道德哲学的观照下,尼安德特人的爱、福乐和无辜体现了基督教道德,带来了生命意志的消亡;新人的主体建构性、能动性和侵略性,代表了主人道德对生命的保存和赞助。新人对尼安德特人的角逐和杀戮,体现了充盈强大生命力的主人道德对软弱服从的基督教道德的征服。不仅如此,《继承者》超越了尼采对两种道德的阐释,通过新人收养尼安德特人“小家伙”这一举动,指出了新人和尼安德特人共同建构人类命运共同体的愿景。

Abstract: The Inheritors by William Golding represents the New Men’s brutal slaughter and genocide of the Neanderthals during the prehistoric period. Nietzsche’s moral philosophy seems to have reinforced the view that love, comfort and innocence, the three basic principles of Christian morality, bring an end to the Neanderthals’ life; conversely, the New Men’s self-construction, initiative, and aggressiveness epitomize the preservation and endorsement of life from master morality. The New Men’s rivalry with and massacre of Neanderthals embody the conquest of the “vulnerable and subservient” Christian morality by the extremely vigorous “master morality”. In addition, The Inheritors offers much more beyond Nietzsche’s analysis of these two kinds of moralities. Through the New Men’s adoption of “little Neanderthal baby”, the novel advocates their joint effort to construct a future for the mankind with a shared destiny.
