摘要

摘要：《普罗米修斯之旅》讲述了宙斯和普罗米修斯之间的冲突。这两位神都代表了对时间的不同看法和与时间的关系。与宙斯一致的以当下为导向的观点试图冻结当前的状况；以普罗米修斯为代表的面向未来的人试图颠覆现状，创造一个不同的、持久的未来。人类与这两种观点形成对比。他们对死亡视而不见，生活在一个开放的未来。这种人类与时间联系的方式之所以成为可能，是因为普罗米修斯的“盲目希望”这一自相矛盾的天赋——这一天赋尚未被正确理解。

The Medicine of Blindness and Human Time in the Prometheus Bound

ABSTRACT:The Prometheus Bound features a conflict between Zeus and Prometheus. Both of these gods represent differing perspectives on and relationships to time. The present-oriented perspective identified with Zeus seeks to freeze current conditions; the future-oriented one identified with Prometheus seeks to overturn present conditions and bring about a different and enduring future. Human beings contrast with both of these perspectives. Blind to their deaths, they live with an open-ended future. This human way of relating to time is possible because of Prometheus’ paradoxical gift of “blind hopes”—a gift which not yet been properly understood.
