狄德罗被公认为现实主义戏剧的前驱和启蒙主义的思想大家,他以新的理性精神挑战了新古典主义原则,拓宽了戏剧的空间和人的思想空间。但是,他的戏剧理论仅仅是对新古典主义的一次旧瓶装新酒式的改良过程,而且,以狄德罗为代表的启蒙主义者的戏剧实践也远远没有超越之前的古希腊戏剧、莎士比亚戏剧所达到的高峰。因此,我们需要对狄德罗的戏剧理论进行重新清理和批判。 Diderot is widely recognized as a pioneer and enlightenment thinker of realist drama, challenging the neo-classical principle in a new rational spirit and broadening the space for drama and the space for human thought. However, his theatrical theory is only an improvement to neoclassical old-style new bottled wine, and the operatic practice of the enlightenment represented by Diderot is far beyond the previous ancient Greek drama, Shakespeare drama The peak reached. Therefore, we need to re-clean and criticize Diderot’s drama theory.
