摘要
摘要:理查德·威尔伯(Richard Wilbur)的《一切皆是》(All That Is)突出了诗人对本体论的主题兴趣:这首诗是对什么是存在以及人类对它的访问的思考。借用汉斯·格奥尔格·伽达默尔(Hans-Georg Gadamer)的一句话,我将这首诗的本体论描述为“解释学本体论”。对于伽达默尔和威尔伯来说,人类的有限性和时间性使得我们对存在的把握不可避免地只能是解释学的——因此,只能是语言的和动态的。威尔伯在这首诗中对填字游戏的描绘中描绘了这一切。
A Rite of Finitude: Richard Wilbur’s Hermeneutic Ontology
abstract:Richard Wilbur’s “All That Is” foregrounds the poet’s thematic interest in ontology: the poem is a meditation on what is and human access to it. Borrowing a phrase from Hans-Georg Gadamer, I characterize the poem’s ontology as a “hermeneutic ontology.” For Gadamer and Wilbur both, human finitude and temporality make it inevitable that our grasp of being can only be hermeneutic—can only be, therefore, both linguistic and dynamic. Wilbur figures all this in the poem’s representation of crossword puzzles.
