摘　　要：玛格丽特·阿特伍德的小说《女巫的子孙》以改写莎士比亚戏剧《暴风雨》为契机,将其“牢笼与自由”的哲思由对女性的生存关怀延伸至对人类现代性困境的观照,在当下语境中赋予经典以新的生命力。阿特伍德以“牢笼”为喻,揭示工具理性扩张导致的艺术困境及其折射的人性与伦理之殇,并思考艺术如何在祛魅的世界中承担起审美救赎之职。主人公菲利克斯寻求艺术救赎的过程是走向审美化生存的过程,也是重建道德主体与伦理秩序的过程。艺术不仅具有超脱于日常理性精神的感性力量,也是帮助人类澄明自我、沟通主体间关系的介质。凭借艺术的真理潜能,人类穿透生活表象,抵达生存的内在实质;而艺术的交往功能则帮助人类调和感性与理性、融合审美-认知-道德领域,并促使道德伦理由冰冷的理性准则转化为人内心的神圣价值观念。审美个体只有融入这种神圣价值观念内核建构起来的伦理秩序中,才能获得生命的支点和自我的救赎。Margaret Atwood’s novel Hag-Seed(2016), taking the opportunity of rewriting Shakespeare’s play The Tempest, extends her philosophy of “cage and freedom” from the concern for women’s survival to the observation of the predicament of human modernity, endowing the classics with new vitality in the current context. Atwood uses “cage” as a metaphor to reveal the dilemma of art caused by the expansion of instrumental reason and the reflected pain of humanity and ethics, and reflects on how art can assume the role of aesthetic redemption in the disenchanted world. Felix’s journey of seeking artistic redemption is the process of his aesthetic existence, and the process of rebuilding the moral subject and ethical order. Art not only has the perceptual power beyond the daily rational spirit, but also helps human beings clarify themselves and communicate the relationship between subjects. By virtue of the truth potential of art, human beings penetrate the appearance of life and reach the inner essence of existence, while the communicative function of art helps human beings reconcile sensibility and rationality, and integrate the aesthetic-cognitive-moral fields, and thus promotes the transformation of moral ethics from cold rational norms into sacred values in human heart. Only when the aesthetic individual is integrated into the ethical order constructed by the core of the sacred value concept, can he/she obtain the fulcrum of life and self-salvation.
