一個愛國者的「知識分子論」：以陳映真的醫生書寫為線索

The Idea of the Intellectual from the Perspective of a Patriot: Reading Chen Ying-zhen’s Writings on the Doctor

陳映真文學裡對「醫生」這一身分的愛恨交加，是建立在他對於歷史的深刻凝視。他如何看待作為一種特定知識分子的「醫生」群體，與他對日本殖民以及戰後白色恐怖的歷史的理解有密切的關係。醫生，是陳映真用以檢視知識分子狀態的一個常用進路，不但用以批評知識分子的下沉，也用來挖掘知識分子的精神與道德資源。本文特別分析了陳映真如何以「有德醫生」為力量源泉，作為他自己掙脫文革所帶來的精神危機。在以上的基礎上，本文討論了知識分子的信仰與知識、基督教與社會主義、愛國主義、世界主義與第三世界之間的理論與價值張力，試圖初步建立陳映真的一種知識分子論。

Medical doctor is a key category by which Chen Ying-zhen understood intellectuals and intellectual condition in history, especially in Taiwan’s colonial period and subsequently the era of“white terror”. Medical doctors reflected well both the downward and upward movements of the intellectuals in Taiwan. This paper examines how Chen treated the medical doctors with either Christian faith or patriot-socialist belief as his self-redemptive resources to recover from the spiritual crisis as encountering the dark side of the Cultural Revolution. Based on the discussion above, the core of this paper is to outline the contours of Chen’s“theoretical”understanding of the intellectual stratum of the third world.
