Title: On the Desire Discourses of Literature in the 1990s and the Happiness Philosophy of Taoism
Abstract: With the establishment of socialist market economy system and the rise of consumerism,the desire discourses of Literature in the 1990s prevail.Among them,material desire and sexual desire are more extensive and typical,the former appear as aspiring of material luxury,and the latter as pursuing of sense gratification mainly about the instinct for sex.As we compare the desire discourses of the 1990s Literature with the happiness philosophy of Taoism,we discover that the former and the latter constitute a relatively complex relationship: partially conjunct to the happiness philosophy of Taoist carnalism which is represented by the metaphysics of Wei-Chin Dynasty,and deconstructive to the happiness philosophy of Taoist inaction which is represented by the Lao Zhuang philosophy,these complicated relationships manifest the profound changes of the living style and spiritual world in our time.
