《陌生人的麻烦》是特里·伊格尔顿继《美学意识形态》之后一部重要的理论著作。为什么与陌生人在一起会有麻烦?作者最终想要回答的问题是,我们该怎样重建团结。伊格尔顿借助雅克·拉康的想象界、符号界和真实界的理论框架,并与更具伦理资源的社会主义和基督教传统进行比照研究,将从亚里士多德到巴迪欧、齐泽克的伦理学理论与整个现代欧洲的伦理学反思汇成一种个人的、政治的伦理学,从而形成一种政治热情,为悲剧、政治、文学、道德和宗教等领域提供了独特的分析视角。伦理与政治并非毫不相干的两个方面,而是对同一客体的不同观点,如果说伦理回答的是我们怎样最有价值地彼此相处,政治则要解决何种机构才有利于这一目标的实现。~① “Stranger’s Trouble” is a major theoretical work by Terry Eagleton following “Aesthetic Ideology.” Why is it so troublesome to be with strangers? The final question the author is trying to answer is how we should rebuild unity. With the theoretical framework of Jacques Lacan’s imagination, symbolism and realism, Eagleton compares it with the more ethical resources of socialism and Christianity traditions, from Aristotle to Badiou, Zizek’s theory of ethics and the ethnological reflection of the whole of modern Europe converge into a kind of personal and political ethics, thus forming a political passion and providing a unique and unique platform for tragedy, politics, literature, morality and religion Analysis perspective. Ethics and politics are not irrelevant two aspects, but different views on the same object, if the ethical answer is how we get along with each other most valuablely, the politics must solve which kind of organization is advantageous to this goal achieve. ~ ①
