的个体性危机 第 42 卷
傅春晖
摘 要:本文把易卜生置于北欧-日耳曼的思想谱系中进行解读,认为“个体
性”是理解其剧作的关键。易卜生的剧作和克尔凯郭尔的哲学思想有着互文性
的关联,他们都认为严格意义上的宗教信仰的前提就是个体性。 同时,在尼采
看来,当时的欧洲已经进入“群氓的时代”,“个人”岌岌可危。 在这个背景下,
易卜生塑造的诸多人物都具有“世纪末”的特点,颓废、烦与空虚成为一种普遍
的社会心态。 个体性的膨胀将带来严重的社会问题,伴随着躁动不安,有时候
会转变成最物质化的享乐主义,但更多时候则表现为否定和破坏,甚至是暴力
和毁灭。

the strict sense is individuality. Brand was tantamount to a death sentence to all serious
religions. Meanwhile,in Nietzsche’s view,Europe had entered“the era of the mob” and
“individual” was in danger. In this context,many characters created by Ibsen had the
characteristics of“Fin de siècle”,where decadence,boredom and nihility had become a
common social state of mind. Freud had a profound insight into the dangers contained in
this mentality. He believed that behind the collective psychology was the individual
