摘　　要：弥尔顿在《论出版自由》中有一著名论断:"书并非全无生气,毫无生命存留;书有命,是作者灵魂的子嗣,如潜质,伏于书,一朝唤醒,便会如作者之魂,鲜活如初";"书如药:药液去粗取汁,药力留存,书则是作者智慧的菁华"。长期以来,弥尔顿所持的生机唯物阅读论及其要义,一直未得学界辨识。弥尔顿作品中凡述作者与读者间密切的心理纽带,立论基础便是《论出版自由》中基于唯物论的读者反应现象学。弥尔顿的作者、读者观,与其生机一元论连贯一致,也把该理论表达得淋漓尽致。就书而言,弥氏认为,书是作者赖以存在的工具,也是一项鲜活的技术,追根溯源便是作者生命之血。In Areopagitica,Milton famously insists that"books are not absolutely dead things,but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are";"they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellct that bred them."Milton's vitalist-materialist conception of reading and its significance has generally gone unrecognized.The materially grounded phenomenology of reader reception posited in Areopagitica underlies Milton's presentation of the intimate psychological relation between authors and readers throughout his writings.Milton's conception of authorship and reading conforms to and is expressive of his vitalist monism in the specific case of the book as an instrumentality of authorial presence,a living,ultimately blood-based,technology.
