Exploring the Synergy: John Keats's Negative Capability within the Context of Buddhist Emptiness
探索共鳴：約翰濟慈的客體感受力於佛法的空性脈絡中
摘要
John Keats's concept of "negative capability," a significant asset within the realm of literary theory, has engendered a multitude of discussions spanning diverse disciplines including art, religion, and philosophy. In Keats and Negative Capability, Li Ou traces the evolution of this pivotal term, traversing the expanse from the Romantic era to the modernist milieu. She perceives it as an organic conception with intrinsic vitality that undergoes perpetual maturation. Expanding upon Li's comprehensive analysis of this term, this study aims to explore the harmonious coalescence between "negative capability" and the core tenet of emptiness in Buddhism. The scholarly examinations of the spiritual correlation between Romantic selfless ontology and Buddhist emptiness furnish the theoretical foundation upon which this study is predicated. The contact point between negative capability and emptiness starts from Keats's dissolution of self and other, which in turn brings forth the blurring of distinctions between life and death, pleasure and pain. The deconstruction of the three sets of binary opposition reveals their inconstancy and lack of inherent essence, resonating with Buddhist insight into the emptiness of worldly phenomena. Within the context of Buddhist emptiness, Keats's negative capability suggests a transformative potential within the cycle of suffering.

約翰濟慈的「客體感受力」思想，是文學理論的重要資產，在不同領域之間，如藝術、宗教、和哲學等，激起廣泛的討論。李鷗在她的著作《濟慈與客體感受力》中，追溯了這一關鍵術語的演變，貫穿了從浪漫時代到現代主義環境的廣闊領域，認為它是一個具有內在活力的有機構想，能持續成熟茁壯。延伸李鷗的全面性分析，本研究旨在探討「客體感受力」與佛法的核心空性教法之間的和諧融合。浪漫主義無我的本體論，和佛法的空性觀可以相通的學術評論，為本研究提供了理論基礎。客體感受力和空性的接合點，始於濟慈解除自我與他人的區別，進而消弭生與死、苦與樂之別。這三組二元對立的瓦解，揭示它們的無常性，缺乏固有的本質，呼應佛法對於現象世界的空性觀。在佛教空性的脈絡下，濟慈的客體感受力暗示了一種轉化苦難輪迴的潛力。
