摘　　要：批评界对卡莱尔"英雄"观的诟病有失公允。一旦我们对他的相关作品及其语境作细致的探究,就不难发现:他之所以呼唤英雄,是因为他生活在一个机械的时代。不管他心目中的英雄是什么模样,他呼唤英雄、抨击时弊的出发点充满了积极意义。即便我们只看卡莱尔的"英雄"观本身,也能发现不少积极意义。卡莱尔所说的"英雄"绝不是一个简单的身份概念。在卡莱尔的眼中,一个人是否英雄,并不取决于他的身份和地位,而是首先取决于他的诚恳与否。The tendency of critics in general to denounce Carlyle＇s views on＂hero＂ leaves much to deplore. A close examination of his works concerned and their conext reveals that he called for heroes because he lived in a mechanical age. No matter what sort of people he conceived as heroes, the point of departure which leads to his appeal for heroes and his attacks upon the malpractice of his times is replete with positive significance. Even if we are concerned merely with his views on ＂hero＂ in themselves, we can find much that is positively significant. The ＂hero＂ as conceived by Carlyle is by no means a simple notion of social status.Whether one is heroic or not, according to Carlyle.depends primarily on his sincerity rather than his soeial status.In other words,heroes can be found among ordinary people. Such thinking is seen not only in his theoretical works but also in his creative writing.
