《鲁滨孙漂流记》和《西游记》两部小说成书之时,中西方都发生了思想运动潮流,新教伦理对资本主义影响深远,“阳明心学”在一定程度上促进了思想解放。在这样的背景下,两部小说主人公鲁滨孙、孙悟空竟都是有着“犯下罪恶”、“惩罚”、“忏悔”、“赎罪”的过程。但是二位作者想借主人公以表现的思想却大相径庭。从中可以一窥中西方文化及思想差异。 At the time of the publication of the novels Robinson Crusoe and Journey to the West, both the Chinese and the West took place in the tide of ideological movements. The Protestant ethic had a profound impact on capitalism. The “Yangming School of Mind” promoted to a certain extent Emancipation of mind. Under this background, the protagonists Robinson Sun and Sun Wukong of the two novels actually have the process of “sinning”, “punishing”, “confessing”, “redeeming”. However, the ideas that the two authors want to express by their protagonists are quite different. From which you can get a glimpse of the differences between Chinese and Western cultures and ideologies.
