個體存在與群體生存——以多瑪斯論《聲之形》中的生存困境

The Individual Existence and Collective Survival: A Thomistic Analysis of Survival Dilemmas in A Silent Voice

在漫畫作品《聲之形》中，討論了許多關於個體、群體、自我認同、生命意義及生存掙扎的內容，本文試圖以多瑪斯之哲學理論從《聲之形》作品中的重心─「霸凌」去討論在此作品中「存在」到「生存」的意涵。本文以漫畫作品與作者大今良時所著的公式手冊為研究基底，將《聲之形》作品進行文本分析與闡述，說明「霸凌」這貫穿作品的關鍵行為對兩位主角產生了什麼影響。再以多瑪斯自然法、良心與良知去討論與說明「霸凌」這一行為對人而言的意義與目的，從主體行為的行動原理，去看待霸凌行為是否為行為主體有意為之。最後，回歸到《聲之形》的故事脈絡中，說明為何是從「個體到群體」。

In the manga ''A Silent Voice,'' numerous themes related to individuality, community, self-identity, the meaning of life, and the struggle for existence are explored. This paper attempts to discuss the transition from ''existence'' to ''survival'' within the framework of Thomas Aquinas' philosophical theories, focusing on the central theme of ''bullying'' in this work. Using the manga itself and the official guidebook by the author Ōima Yoshitoki as the research foundation, this paper conducts a textual analysis and interpretation of ''A Silent Voice,'' elucidating the impact of the pervasive act of ''bullying'' on the two protagonists. Subsequently, it examines and explains the significance and purpose of ''bullying'' for individuals through the lens of Aquinas' natural law, conscience, and synderesis, exploring whether the act of bullying is a deliberate action by the agent based on the principles of subjective behavior. Finally, it returns to the narrative context of ''A Silent Voice'' to elucidate the transition from ''individual to community.''
