摘　　要：出版于20世纪80年代的德国小说《香水》以及由此改编的电影,在其惊悚猎奇的外表之下,隐藏着丰富的西方思想史内涵。文章首先从主角姓名和作品中某种香水的名字着手,从文学、宗教、古代神话的角度来探讨其意义,并将线索引向柏拉图哲学。而作品中的嗅觉,则应该从灵魂的角度来加以理解。最后,通过比较苏格拉底和《香水》中的主角,我们发现它所展现的是一条不同于西方主流哲学传统的思想路线,它既是前哲学的,又与后哲学的种种思想相一致。Patrick Süskind＇s novel Perfume and the film adapted thereafter,in the appearance of a trilling murder,imply rich significance in the history of thought.First,from the hero＇s name,JeanBaptiste Grenouille,and that of the perfume within the story,Amor Psyche,the article explores the meaning of the novel-film Perfume,from the perspectives of German Literature,the Christianity,the ancient mythology,and then Platonic philosophy,holding that the olfaction in this work should be understood as a metaphor of the soul.Finally,by comparing Socrates and Grenouille,the article argues that the work Perfumereveals a trend much different from the main tradition of the western philosophy;it is rather pre-philosophical and shares great similarities with post-philosophical thoughts.
