本文將呈現亨利·易卜生的《玩偶之家》中的權利與倫理的關系問題。劇中主人公娜拉的家庭生活經歷使她學會在倫理層面開展自我革命從而掙脫父權社會的倫理體系。在丈夫海爾茂的門庭之中遭受父權壓迫的經歷也正是她進行自我倫理教育的過程。在易卜生的世界中,倫理是指個人塑造自我的能力,而非被動接受父權社會的道德教育。娜拉拒絕接受所謂的歐洲社會道德觀念,并在倫理層面通過與他人的互動關系進行自我形塑,因此,她是一個具有倫理意義的人物形象。娜拉也否定了歐洲社會倫理體系中的法律—話語傳統。她試圖削掉父權制的頭顱從而展開一場倫理革命:此舉在同時代的歐洲倫理體系中前所未有。

My paper shows how ethics relates to the question of power in Henry Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. The female protagonist, Nora’s experience of living in her husband’s house teaches her to lead the ethical revolution breaking off herself from the patriarchal ethical system of her society. Her encounter with patriarchal power in her husband, Helmer’s house constitutes her ethical education. In the Ibsenian universe, ethics is one’s capacity to self-fashion oneself than accepting moral education of patriarchal society. Nora is an ethical character because she rejects the so-called moral values of European society and starts the ethical education of her intensely interpersonal experience. Nora also repudiates the whole juridico-discursive tradition of ethical theory of European society. She wants to cut off the patriarch’s head to initiate a revolutionary ethics: in ethical theory that had still to be done in Europe at her time.
