摘　　要：伊格尔顿认为,文学作品是结构与事件、事实与行动的统一体。作为整体的文学传统与外在的社会历史既对立又交织,这不仅仅是某一给定的客观现实和文学作品对其的反映,而是作为事件的文学作品以特定的形式策略在世界中的出场。文学作品的解读不应针对对象和本质,而应针对事件和策略。伊格尔顿希望人们尽快摒弃本质主义与反本质主义的无谓对立,并对反思与信念、理论与实践、自律与他律等一系列文学理论的基本问题展开新的思考。Terry Eagleton argues that literary works are unities of structures and events, facts and actions. Literary tradition as a whole is both oppositional to and interwoven with the extrinsic social history, which is not merely a reflection from the given real- ities and literary works but the presence of literary works in the world when they present themselves as events. The interpretation of literary works should target at events and the specific strategies by which the works present themselves instead of targeting at ＂objects＂ and ＂essences. ＂ Eagieton proposes that critics should get rid of the dichotomy between essentialism and anti- essen- tialism so as to reflect on some fundamental issues in literary theory such as reflection and belief, theory and praxis, autonomy and heteronomy.
