《浮士德》是一部熔铸了歌德毕生心血的巨著。蕴涵着深厚的社会历史内容和人生哲理。但很多解读作品的著作仍将浮士德形象聚焦到一点,将浮士德仅仅看作资产阶级的代表,“这是经济基础决定上层建筑这一图式作用的结果”艺术是缘于现实而高于现实的,因而它诉诸的就“不只是一个特定阶级的情感,而是超越特定阶级的普遍人性”。《浮士德》即是如此。本文正是基于这一普遍人性的探询角度对《浮士德》中的“有限”与“无限”的生命张力问题进行探讨。 Faust is a masterpiece that casts Goethe’s lifelong effort. Contains a deep social and historical content and philosophy of life. However, many works of interpretation still focus Faust’s image to the point that Faust is merely represented by the bourgeoisie. “This is the result of the economic foundation determining the role of the superstructure.” Art is due to Realistic and above reality, and thus resorted to “not only a particular class of emotions, but universal humanity transcending a particular class.” Faust is the case. This paper discusses the issue of life tension of “limited” and “infinite” in “Faust” based on this probe of universal humanity.
