Essay题目：Diderot and buvaro
Boileau is one of the representative figures of the western classical literary theory in the 17th century. His magnum opus is the art of poetry, written in verse in four chapters. The first chapter is an overview, which describes that reason is the most basic principle of poetry creation and criticism, and makes a general explanation of the general law of poetry creation and criticism. The second chapter is about the minor poetry, which includes hymns, Lamentations and pastoral songs. The third chapter is about the main poetic forms, including tragedy, comedy and epic. The fourth chapter discusses the moral cultivation of the writer. Through this book, we can see that the literary theory system of buvaro has been very complete, which basically represents the highest level of western literary theory in this period. Diderot was one of the most outstanding representatives of western enlightenment thinkers in the 18th century, a French materialist thinker and a famous writer. His theory of literature and art is mainly embodied in his two books. One is on the dramatic arts and the other is on painting. Diderot, as one of the prominent leaders of the encyclopaedia school, also constructed the theory system of literature and art very tightly.
Buvaro and diderot are two representatives of western literary theory at different stages. In their respective literary theory, there are many similarities and differences in their discourses on art and nature. The formation of such similarities and differences is the result of historical background and the inevitable result of the development of literary theory.
For example, boileau believed that in order to show rationality in literature and art, one must imitate nature. And he thinks this is the basic task of literature and art. The classicists believe that truth is nature, and buvaro, as the epitome of classicism, preserves this doctrine. He said that only true is beautiful, only true is lovely. And nature is true, you feel it at touch. To seek beauty, we must seek truth and imitate nature. Beauty, truth, reason and nature are one and inseparable, according to boileau. "We" can never be separated from nature, he said. However, there is a big difference between his "imitation of nature" and the traditional views of ancient Greece. Boileau's theory is based on rationalism. He refers to the natural as long as the things reflected in the common sense of things, human nature in human nature, especially natural human nature. To imitate nature is to imitate natural humanity. He also divided natural human nature into three types: one original personality, two types of personality, three stereotypes of character.
In his later years, boileau had more contact with the upper class in France. In 1684, he entered the French academy under the patronage of Louis xiv. Therefore, in his art theory, he naturally defended the aristocracy and sang praises. Secular life in the city and in the country, he argues, is excluded from imitating nature. Those lives were "humble and vile", a far cry from "elegant and meticulous". He thinks that the only thing poets should study and imitate is "city" and "court", in which "court" is the focus of imitation. That is to say, it is important and worth studying to express the "natural human nature" of emperors and nobles.
Diderot's theory of "imitating nature" is aimed at the problem of natural affectation from the point of abstract reason. In his opinion, realistic imitation of reality is a basic principle of artistic creation. The more perfect the imitation is, the more it can conform to various reasons, and "we" will feel more satisfied. From this point of view, diderot and buvaro's opinion is unified. They all believe that the task of literature
