摘要

摘要本文研究了约瑟夫·康拉德的处女作《阿尔迈耶的愚蠢》（1895）中对帝国、种族和宗教道德的抽象教条主义秩序的复杂处理，以及个体主体之间具体而短暂的关系中的道德承诺问题。小说以马来群岛为背景，在那里，欧洲帝国专制主义的衰落岁月被相互冲突的贸易和政治利益所取代。康拉德文本中的悲观哲学观表明，所有过度放纵的自恋道德秩序都是如何容纳仇恨和利己主义动机的阴谋，同时在人类交往中违反他人的道德要求的。

Moral Dogma and Ethical Relativity in Joseph Conrad’s Almayer’s Folly

Abstract This paper studies the intricate treatment of the abstract and dogmatic order of imperial, racial, and religious morality, and the issue of ethical commitment in the concrete and fleeting relationships between individual subjects in Joseph Conrad’s debut novel, Almayer’s Folly (1895). The novel is set in the Malay Archipelago, where the fading years of the imperial absolutism of Europe give way to conflicting trade and political interests. A pessimistic philosophical outlook in Conrad’s text shows how all the overindulgent narcissistic moral orders accommodate hate and self-interest motivated conspiracy, and simultaneously violate ethical demands of the Other in human contact.
