摘　　要：伊格尔顿《文学事件》一书从文学哲学的层面,对"理论"的衰落及其留下的一些文学理论的基本问题展开思考,呼吁文学理论研究要尽快跳出后殖民、后现代主义的思维樊篱,由政治、文化研究回归文学本身。不过,伊格尔顿并不希望在"理论"之后再度转向"文类""结构""原型"等纯粹形式,他不相信纯粹形式可以挽救文学研究。对于有着天主教背景的伊格尔顿而言,新宗教的权威恰恰在于其伦理的而非审美的主张。因此,他致力的文学理论目标是要复活亚里士多德的伦理学思想,走出本质主义的无谓论争,以一种德行伦理学的价值理想推动文学研究,在批评理论与分析哲学非同寻常的结合中,开启一条文学理论重建的可能路径,并以此刺激理论再度进行富有雄心的思考。In The Event of Literature, Terry Eagleton tries to elucidate on the literary philosophical questions pertaining to the decline of theory, and calls for a return to literature itself by breaking through the delimitations of politico-cultural studies as in post-colonialist and post-modernist criticism. However, Eagleton does not revert to pure formal research in the ＂after theory＂ period as he does not believe formalism can save literary studies. For Eagleton who has a Catholic background, the authority of new religion lies in ethical rather than aesthetic claims. What Eagleton tries to bypass the fruitless debate over essentialism and revive Aristotelian ethnical ideas so as to promote literary studies with virtue ethics and to open a way to reconstruct literary theory that is connected with critical theory and analytical philosophy.
