英文摘要Robinson Crusoe opens up a testing ground for life. In the face of the nearabsolute freedom of choice granted by the desert island, Robinson's story raises a fundamental question from an ethical perspective: How do ethical choices influence life? Modern re-visions respond to this question from different perspectives. For instance, Michel Tournier wrote a Uranian story to explore the theme from both material and spiritual dimensions. J. M. Coetzee, considering Robinson as an abstract embodiment of power, constructs an allegorical world where power erodes goodness. Derek Walcott provides an art-happiness model for life. These re-visions, conceived in different historical and cultural contexts, constitute a multi-logical structure in a TransAreal space that sheds significant insights on possible lives.
