摘要: 犹太裔美国作家索尔·贝娄在其代表作《赫索格》中生动地展现了主人公赫索格在焦虑困境中的挣扎与救赎。文章基于认知视角,旨在剖析赫索格的焦虑症状及表现、认知失调及焦虑产生的原因和缓解策略,认为个体要通过协调认知以及改变、修正甚至重构自我认知才能减少心理紧张和精神压力,进而实现内心的平静和自我的完整统一。同时指出,贝娄实则是在寻找与现实的妥协之道,由此获得精神超越的立足点,但是这一偏理想化的策略也使贝娄的精神超越存有再议的空间。

Abstract: In his representative work, Herzog, the Jewish American writer Saul Bellow presents the protagonist Herzog's struggle and salvation in the trap of anxiety. Based on the perspective of cognition, the paper makes a systematic and in-depth interpretation of Herzog's anxiety symptoms, the causes and alleviating methods of cognitive dissonance and anxiety, and then points out a man can reduce psychological and mental stress, and reach the state of peace and integrity of self by cognition coordination to change, modify or even reconstruct self-cognition. At the same time, it is pointed out that Bellow manages to look for a compromise with reality to gain a foothold of spiritual transcendence, but this idealized strategy also puts his spiritual transcendence in a state for reconsideration.

Key words: Herzog, Saul Bellow, anxiety, cognitive dissonance, spirit transcendence
