ABSTRACT

Wang-Xiaobo, through his prose works, put a highest value on epistemology which can be proved based on rationalism, and pursuit of human wisdom including knowledge of natural science. Compared to this, he criticized thinking based on totalitarianism which oppresses individual and annihilates freedom by alluding to Utopianism - totalitarianism introduces ideological thoughts as ruling philosophy. And he pointed out that king as a philosopher who is eager to build Utopia is, in fact, intellect who are puppets for power. Especially, he discovered that main means of ruling they produce and use are concentrated on standards and requirements of ethic and moral fields. Furthermore, he laughed at the desire for devotion and sacrifice of intellect by alluding to delight of masochist who needs persecution and punishment. Such a view became artistic imagery through his novels. Among them are works which bring sexual love into relief. These novels require enlightenment about omnipresence of power which spreads into individual's secret space. There are his works which describe complete control over individual composing of high-tech society uniformly based on norms and system. These works represent this writer's assertion for anti-Utopianism. The way to go in pursuit of true value and wonderful wisdom expressed through allegory in his some works is very rough.
