古希腊神话和传说中历险精神的文化阐释

摘要

Greek myths and legends create a series of heroic images with adventure spirit,reflecting the cultural characteristics of the western people＇s zeal for adventure.Adventure spirit runs through the whole process of western civilization,and even becomes an important sign different from other heterogeneous cultures,guiding generations of adventurers to push forward into unknown areas.However,it should not be neglected that its cognitive mode—Separation of Heaven and Man—and secular humanism as well,have brought negative effect to human civilization.%古希腊的神话和传说塑造了一系列具有冒险精神的英雄形象,这些文学形象折射出了西方人热衷冒险的文化特质。在西方文明漫长的发展历程中,这股勇于探索、甘于冒险的历险精神始终贯穿其中,甚至成为有别于其他异质文化的重要标志。它引领着一代又一代的冒险家向未知领域挺进。当然,它内含的＂天人相分＂的认知模式和＂世俗人本意识＂对人类文明也产生了一定的消极影响,这一点不容忽视。
