摘要:It has been said of Pound�s great work, the Cantos, that it was not �a poem written from within modern civilization, but a poem about a break with modern civilization and a search for a new basis.� Perhaps the same can be said of Lonergan�s great works, and McShane�s. To use McShane�s phrase, they are great pastmodern works. They attempt to move past the massive impasses of self-neglect so thoroughly and pervasively concretized in the historic flow. They involve a search for a new basis beyond the centuries-long and brutal colonization of the life-world by a warped conceptualism which daily denies that �man by nature is oriented into mystery."�.
