摘要

关于世界文学的讨论在当今的国家文学和比较文学研究中占有重要地位。然而,尽管世界文学具有重要意义,评论家们仍未就如何应对世界文学面临的挑战达成共识,这些挑战包括世界文学的方法论、文本数量庞大、流通不均以及翻译困难等。本文从威廉-戈德温的历史写作哲学的视角来探讨世界文学所关注的问题。虽然戈德温的历史观与世界文学的关系尚未得到广泛讨论,但他对历史和历史写作的反思抵制了对普遍历史的比较方法,并涉及到世界文学辩论中的类似问题。戈德温的历史著述对遥远的历史方法提出了挑战,并强调了个体和特殊性的重要性,本文深入探讨了戈德温的历史著述,认为戈德温追求与过去建立有目的的亲密关系,为解决世界文学问题提供了重要的启示。特别是,戈德温对研究历史的目的的强调以及他对时间 "他者 "的亲切态度,为我们与地理和种族 "他者 "及其文学建立相互尊重的关系提供了有益的指导。戈德温追求对鼓舞人心的过去的深入了解和友谊,为寻求系统地吸收他者文学或不假思索地扩大世界文学典籍提供了宝贵的选择。

“I Demand the Friendship of Zoroaster”: William Godwin and World Literature of Friendship

The debate about world literature holds a prominent place in national and comparative literary studies today. However, despite its significance, critics have yet to reach a consensus on how to address its challenges, which include its methodology, the vast volume of texts, uneven circulation, and difficulties of translation. This essay examines the concerns of world literature through the lens of William Godwin’s philosophy on history writing. While Godwin’s historical perspective has not been widely discussed in relation to world literature, his reflections on history and history writing that resist a comparative approach to universal history engage with similar issues found in the debates on world literature. Delving into Godwin’s writings on history, which challenge distant approaches to history and stress the importance of the individual and the particular, this essay argues that Godwin’s pursuit of a purposeful and intimate relationship with the past offers important insights for addressing the issues of world literature. In particular, Godwin’s emphasis on the purpose of studying history and his affectionate approach toward the temporal “other” provide helpful directions in forming respectful relationships with the geographical and ethnic “other” and their literature. Godwin’s pursuit of deep knowledge and friendship with the inspiring past proposes a valuable alternative to seeking systematic incorporation of the other’s literature or unthinkingly expanding world literary canon.
