摘要
一个小偷得救了....如果，就像弗拉基米尔在《等待戈多》开头总结的那样，“这是一个合理的比例”，那么为什么不接受帕斯卡著名的劝诫去相信，而不是冒险在来世经历深渊或地狱的恐怖呢?这篇文章追溯了贝克特对两个小偷主题的运用，与“荒谬的信条”(Credo quia absurdum est)的真理有关，这一点在莱布尼茨的一元论基础上的微积分中得到了体现，并在贝克特从《墨菲》到《How It Is》的写作中得到了体现，他对自我的感觉既不是1也不是0。
One of the thieves was saved .… If, as Vladimir concludes at the outset of Waiting for Godot, “It’s a reasonable percentage,” then why not accept Pascal’s celebrated exhortation to believe, rather than to risk in the afterlife the terrors of the abyss or the inferno? This essay traces Beckett’s use of the motif of the two thieves with respect to the truism of Credo quia absurdum est, as manifest in the calculus that underlies the Monadology of Leibniz and informs Beckett’s writing from Murphy to How It Is, and his sense of the self as something that is/was neither One nor Zero.
