摘要: 斯坦贝克的《伊甸之东》探讨了人与自然间的伦理关系。亚当站在人类中心主义的立场对待自然,与自然相背离,精神饱受痛苦却不自知;塞缪尔尊重、关怀自然,爱护每一寸土地,受到自然的恩惠与庇护。通过“自然人”塞缪尔正面、积极的精神力量的塑写,斯坦贝克提出了处理人与自然关系的生态主张:对待自然,人类应该给“自然人”塞缪尔式的伦理关怀,从而进一步构建人与自然、人与社会、人与人之间的和谐共生关系。

关键词: 《伊甸之东》, 自然人, 生态伦理观

Abstract: By East of Eden, John Steinbeck discusses the mannature ecological relationship. Adam violates the law of nature and thus suffers natures harsh retribution, which reflects his anthropocentric view. Samuel, the Nature Man, cherishes every inch of land, devotes love and care to nature, and he reaps reward of nature, which forms his ecological ethics. From Adams spiritual tragedy and Samuels optimism and inner wholeness, Steinbeck presents his ecological idea: human beings should respect and love nature just as Samuel does. Only in this way will the harmonious coexistence between human and nature, man and society, and man and man be realized in the near future.

Key words: East of Eden, the Nature Man, ecological ethics
