文艺复兴时期的人文主义是近代资产阶级思想体系的最初形态,在动摇中世纪教会权威、推动社会发展上释放出了强大力量,然而以自我价值实现为伦理取向必然导致私欲膨胀、道德失据。深负历史责任感并受实证哲学影响的乔治·艾略特通过哲理小说《罗摩拉》反思人文主义的局限性,所塑造的巴尔多等人物之人生价值观昭显出人文理想与利己主义的冲突,这为准确理解文艺复兴及其思想遗产提供了一个新的视角。 The Renaissance humanism was the first form of modern bourgeois ideology. It released a powerful force in shaking the authority of the medieval church and promoting social development. However, taking the self-worth as the ethical orientation inevitably led to the expansion of selfish desires and the moral failure. George Eliot, a man deeply responsible for history and influenced by positivist philosophy, reflects on the limitations of humanism through his philosophical novel “Ramaolla”, and his values ​​of life created by Baldo and others show the clash between the ideal of humanity and egoism This provides a new perspective for an accurate understanding of the Renaissance and its intellectual legacy.
