悪と美の倫理 : ワイルドの「意向集」より

概要

論文の詳細を見る
The present writer must tell that this is not an original thesis, but a Japanese translation of Oscar Wilde's "Pen, Pencil and Poison". "Pen, Pencil and Poison" is one of the four essays in the book called Intensions which was published in 1891. Compared with the other essays, especially the two celebrated ones : "Decay of Lying" and "The Critic as Artist", this one is much less familiar to us Japanese, because of the fact that it deals with an eccentric writer and murderer, rather unknown to us, and also because it is abound with his peculiar dedantic and paradoxical phrases which are puzzling to us. However, the present writer has been of the opinion that this essay, though quite peculiar, should be regarded as essential for our understanding of Wilde's aesthetic thought, particularly his view on morality in artistic context. That is why we have decided to put the whole essay into our own language, which would presumably be of some help for the better understanding of Wilde's aestheticism as a whole.
