Abstract

Abstract:Unlike the traditional view of suffering in philosophy and theology as a deviation from the ideal, John Keats's vale of soul-making attends to the potentiality of the suffering body in the world for fashioning the identities of the modern subject. Keats thereby exhibits a notion of the body that shows more affinity with Maurice Merleau-Ponty's emphasis on the primary role of perception in knowledge than with John Locke's empiricist account of sensation. Turning to the prereflective experience, Merleau-Ponty concedes the limits of reasoning in the face of an opaque world and hints at a quality similar to Keats's negative capability.

理解苦难：梅与济慈的“造魂谷”

摘要：不同于传统的哲学和神学中的痛苦观是对理想的背离，约翰·济慈的灵魂制造价值观关注的是痛苦身体在世界中形成现代主体身份的潜力。济慈因此展示了一种身体概念，与莫里斯·梅洛-庞蒂对感知在知识中的主要作用的强调相比，与约翰·洛克对感觉的经验主义描述更为相似。谈到反思前的体验，梅洛-庞蒂承认了面对不透明世界时推理的局限性，并暗示了一种类似济慈消极能力的品质。

期刊介绍： For more than a quarter century, Philosophy and Literature has explored the dialogue between literary and philosophical studies. The journal offers a constant source of fresh, stimulating ideas in the aesthetics of literature, theory of criticism, philosophical interpretation of literature, and literary treatment of philosophy. Philosophy and Literature challenges the cant and pretensions of academic priesthoods by publishing an assortment of lively, wide-ranging essays, notes, and reviews that are written in clear, jargon-free prose. In his regular column, editor Denis Dutton targets the fashions and inanities of contemporary intellectual life.
