以維根斯坦的哲學觀點探討《美麗新世界》

A Study of Brave New World in the Light of Wittgenstein’s Philosophy

指導教授 : 周曉青

摘要


1932年阿道斯•赫胥黎出版的《美麗新世界》是一本預言未來世界的著名小說。根據柏拉圖的理型論,及其以哲學家皇帝治國的政治思想,可瞭解《美麗新世界》是如何將柏拉圖《理想國》烏托邦思想運用在世界國上。該論文的主要目的是以維根斯坦的哲學觀點來探討為何《美麗新世界》裡的世界國終將失敗。與柏拉圖持相反論點的維根斯坦認為,覺醒才是唯一能拯救世界的可行之路,而非烏托邦。

並列摘要


Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a novel published in 1932 that predicted the future of humanity. Building on Plato’s Theory of Forms and his political idea of philosopher kings, Brave New World demonstrates how the utopia of Plato’s Republic can be implemented in practice. The main purpose of this thesis is to apply Wittgenstein’s philosophy to show that the utopian World State that exists in Brave New World can end only in failure. Wittgenstein’s counter-argument to Plato is that awakening, not utopia, is the only way to save the world.
