Despite their many differences of temperament and of literary perspective, Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melville, and Whitman shared certain beliefs. Common to all these writers is their humanistic perspective. Its basic premises are that humans are the spiritual center of the universe and that in them alone is the clue to nature, history, and ultimately the cosmos. Without denying outright the existence of a deity, this perspective explains humans and the world in terms of humanity.
This common perspective is almost always universalized. It emphasizes the human as universal, freed from the accidents of time, space, birth, and talent. Thus, for Emerson, the "American Scholar" turns out to be simply "Man Thinking," while, for Whitman, the "Song of Myself" merges imperceptibly into a song of all the "children of Adam," where "every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. "
Also common to all five writers is the belief that self-realization depends on the harmonious reconciliation of two universal psychological tendencies: first, the self-asserting impulse of the individual to be responsible only to himself or herself, and second, the self-transcending impulse of the individual to know and become one with that world. These conflicting impulses can be seen in the democratic ethic. Democracy advocates individualism, the preservation of the individual’s freedom and self-expression. But the democratic self is torn between the duty to self, which is implied by the concept of liberty, and the duty to society, which is implied by the concepts of equality and fraternity.
A third assumption common to the five writers is that intuition and imagination offer a surer road to truth than does abstract logic or scientific method. It is illustrated by their emphasis upon introspection— their belief that the clue to external nature is to be found in the inner world of individual psychology—and by their interpretation of experience as, in essence, symbolic. Both these stresses presume an organic relationship between the self and the cosmos of which only intuition and imagination can properly take account. These writers’ faith in the imagination and in themselves led them to conceive of the writer as a seer. [br] It can be inferred that intuition is important to the five writers primarily because it provides them with
选项
A、information useful for understanding abstract logic and scientific method
B、the discipline needed in the search for truth
C、inspiration for their best writing
D、clues to the interpretation of symbolic experience
E、the means of resolving conflicts between the self and the world
答案
D
解析
The final paragraph states that the five writer: all held that intuition and imagination offer a surer road to truth than does abstract logic or scientific method. Furthermore, the author states that this is illustrated, in part, by their interpretation of experience as, in essence, symbolic. This suggests that intuition’s value is largely related to its ability to assist in interpreting symbolic experience.
A The passage suggests that the writers believed intuition to be a surer road to truth than are abstract logic and the scientific method. Nevertheless, it does not indicate that these writers believed intuition to be useful for understanding abstract logic or the scientific method.
B The passage suggests that the writers believed intuition to be helpful in arriving at the truth. However, it does not indicate that this is because it provides them with any sort of discipline needed in the search for the truth.
C It may be true that intuition served as inspiration for the five writers’ best writing. However, the passage provides no information that allows us to make such an inference.
D Correct. The passage suggests that these writers believed intuition to be important because intuition (and imagination) assist in the interpretation of symbolic experience.
E The passage nowhere indicates that intuition is involved in the resolution of conflicts between the self and the world
The correct answer is D.
