德国作家托马斯·曼的小说《威尼斯之死》展示了人真实的存在处境:个体生命自身之理性与非理性之间的永恒冲突。人一直在探寻各种能够克服并超越这一冲突的途径。人在追求自我超越的进程中,创造观念,发展文化,并以此滋养生命,培育精神价值。但人至今也未曾寻求到达成自身生命和谐统一的理想途径。 German writer Thomas Mann’s novel The Death of Venice shows the true existence of human beings: the eternal conflict between the rational and irrational individual life itself. People are constantly looking for ways to overcome and surpass this conflict. In the pursuit of self-transcendence, people create ideas and develop culture, nourish their lives and cultivate spiritual values. However, so far, people have never sought to find an ideal way to achieve the harmony and harmony of their own lives.
