【摘要】 萧伯纳可能是最受争议的诺贝尔文学奖得主之一。本文试图从为萧辩护的角度,证明其喜剧作品仍具有艺术水准和高度,是深刻的作品。贯穿全文的线索正是贯穿萧创作始终的道德观念——社会中的人并没有善恶之分,他们所做任何选择都受社会环境的影响。本文分为两大部分。第一部分重点阐述萧在戏剧创作上的现实主义特点。他贴近现实,针砭时弊,批判理想主义,用反讽的笔触揭露出二十世纪初社会中的种种弊病,如贫富悬殊、卖淫、婚姻、拜金等。其作品的结尾往往出人意料,反映出对人性的关怀和改变社会的崇高理想。本人概括了萧的多种戏剧类型,运用戏剧理论,初步证明了其喜剧作品所拥有的艺术深度。第二部分重点阐述萧的哲学理念和理想——为当代人创立一个新的信仰。萧大胆挑战维多利亚时代以来固有的价值观和宗教信仰,通过其作品,他呼吁大众勇敢地正视现实,为了比自身利益更高尚的目标而努力。在该部分中,通过说明萧在意志论、身体与意志的关系、科学与宗教的关系方面的立场,进一步阐明其道德观。本人指出萧理想的道德观的最高境界是达到真正的善;人类到达天堂的历程需要圣人般“超人”的引领。全文由浅入深,由表及里,既概括了萧伯纳的戏剧创作成就,更阐明了其深层的思想道德理念。更多还原

【Abstract】 Bernard Shaw may be one of the most controversial Nobel Laureates in literature. This dissertation endeavors to demonstrate from a defending perspective, that Shaw’s so called comic drama does possess artistic depth. The overall outline of this dissertation is the very outline of Shaw’s creation– his morality value, that is, there are neither good men nor scoundrels: there are just children of one Father; Human nature is only the raw material which Society manufactures into the finished rascal or the finished fellowman.This dissertation falls into two parts. Part one, Shaw’s realistic theatre, focuses on Shaw’s realistic method of approaching social evils, such as wealth gap, prostitution, bourgeois marriage, materialism etc. Part two centers on Shaw’s religious aspiration– to create a new creed that fits the contemporary facts. Shaw has boldly affronted Victorian values. The satiric view of Victorian morality and sentimentality characterized Shaw’s plays. His philosophy is concerned first and last with the question of human purpose: How should we act in this world, both individually and collectively? For Shaw, the true joy in life is being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one.更多还原
