摘要
这篇文章提供了一个重新思考的哲学“这石灰树凉亭我的监狱”(1797)。虽然之前的一些评论对将乔治·伯克利的思想应用于这首诗的效用不屑一顾,但我认为这首诗借鉴了伯克利哲学中现在被称为主观唯心主义的部分。在《关于人类知识原理的论述》(1710年)中,伯克利认为所有的对象都是观念的简单集合,观念的存在在于它被感知(“esse is percepi”)。我认为,当柯勒律治想象兰姆“环顾四周,直到一切看起来/比肉体更粗俗,一个活生生的东西/作用于心灵”时,他是在把兰姆描绘成意识到世界是由来自上帝强大心灵的思想组成的。因此,这首诗在柯勒律治的智力发展中占据了一个重要的过渡点,当时他是一个短暂的伯克利理想主义者。
‘Less gross than bodily’: Berkeleian Idealism in ‘This Lime-Tree Bower my Prison’
This essay offers a reconsideration of the philosophy of ‘This Lime-Tree Bower my Prison’ (1797). While some previous critical accounts have been dismissive of the utility of applying George Berkeley’s thought to the poem, I argue that the poem draws on the part of Berkeley’s philosophy now known as subjective idealism. In A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (1710), Berkeley posits that all objects are simply collections of ideas, an idea’s existence consisting in its being perceived (‘ esse is percipi’). I contend that when Coleridge imagines Lamb ‘gazing round […] till all doth seem / Less gross than bodily, a living Thing / That acts upon the mind’, he is depicting Lamb as realizing that the world is composed of ideas that emanate from the powerful mind of God. The poem therefore occupies an important transitional point in Coleridge’s intellectual development when he was, briefly, a Berkeleian idealist.
