个体生命与集体意识--从人性的角度看金庸和古龙小说的异同

作为武侠小说大家的金庸和古龙都表现出对人性的关注，但金庸侧重于人的社会性存在，将人的理智感，道德感视为人性的基础，体现了对集团（国家和民族）的关注，古龙则偏重于人的生物性存在，重视个体特征及个性生命的欢悦，侧重于描写人类的欲望，本能。这种不同是由作家对西方文化借鉴程度的差异，对历史与现实的不同取向以及作家个性差异等原因造成的。另外，金庸的文本中还表现出了一种对侠客的悲剧意识，显示出侠客心路历程的姜怆与无奈。

Individual and Collectivism--Comparison and Contrast from the Angle of Humanity between the Novels by Jin yong and the Novels by Gu Long

As masters of the swordsman fiction, both Jin Yong and Gu Long concern humanity.The former, however, concentrates on man's social existence and regards reason and moral sense as the basis on which humanity is formed. In this sense he shows his concern about the latter emphasizes man's biological existence and mainly describes desires and instincts of human beings. Thus he lays more emphasis on personal qualities and individual intoxication. The difference results from different degrees to which the two writers make use of western cultures for reference, their different orientations towards history and reality, and their distinct personalities as well. In addition, a tragic sense is also reflected to the swordsmen in Jin Yong's stories, which indicates that they are caught up in the sad and involuntary mentality and they have no alternative.
