Harmony: Romain Rolland's Dream Of Human Society

ROMAIN ROLLAND IS NOT ONLY A WRITER WHO DARES TO EXPLORE, BUT ALSO A POSITIVE SOCIAL ACTIVIST, WHOSE HUMANITARIANISM AND SPIRITS OF PEACE ARE WORLD-FAMOUS. HE SHOWS MUCH CONCERN ABOUT MODERN PEOPLE'S LIVING CONDITIONS, AND THE THEMES OF HIS WORKS ARE CARING ABOUT HUMAN, LOVING HUMAN BEINGS, AND PURSUING FREEDOM IN LIFE AND IN THOUGHTS. HIS VIRTUESOF CARES FOR HUMAN BEINGS AND ENDLESS KINDNESS ATTRACT CHINESE READERS FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. HIS LIFE EXPERIENCE AND WORKS ARE WORTHY OF STUDYING ON FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. ALL OF HIS WRITINGS ARE SO CLOSELY CONNECTED WITH HIS THOUGHTS THAT WITHOUT LEARNING ABOUT HIS SOCIAL VIEWPOINTS AND HIS AESTHETIC THOUGHTS, WE CAN NOT TRULY UNDERSTAND HIS WORKS. ROMAIN ROLLAND'S IDEA OF HARMONY IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF HIS THOUGHTS.HARMONY IS THE MATURE REPRESENTATION OF STABILITY AND COODINATION OF OBJECTS. IT RESULTS THE CORRECT EFFECT OF HUMAN BEING'S SUBJECTIVITY AND IS PURSUED BY ALL HUMAN BEINGS. AS AN IDEALIST, ROMAIN ROLLAND HAS GONE THROUGH THREE WARS AND LIVED IN AN EXTREMELY UNSTABLE SOCIETY, BUT HE STILL PURSUES HARMONY ALL HIS LIFE AND EXPLORES THE FOLLOWING ASPECTS DILIGENTLY: HARMONY INSIDE THE SELF, HARMONY BETWEEN HUMAN BEINGS AND HARMONY BETWEEN NATIONS. ROMAIN ROLLAND TREKED ON THE ROAD TOWARDS HARMONY IN HIS LIFETIME. HIS DREAM OF HARMONY EMBODIED IN HIS WORKS IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE CULTURAL TRADITION OF THE WESTERN SOCIETY AND IS ALSO INFLUENCED BY THE SOCIAL BACKGROUND OF HIS EPOCH. FURTHERMORE, IT IS CLOSELY RELATED TO ROMAIN ROLLAND FAMILY BACKGROUND AND HIS LIFE EXPERIENCE. WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE DIALECTICAL THOUGHT , IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO EVALUATE ROMAIN ROLLAND'S DREAM OF HARMONY. BUT IT IS UNDOUBTEDLY THAT ROMAIN ROLLAND IS SUCH A SERIOUS STERN AND HONEST EXPLORER IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD THAT HE COULD ADHERE TO BE POSITIVE AND PURSUE HIS DREAM OF HARMONY IN HIS OWN UNIQUE WAY WHEN HE IS SURROUNDED BY THE GLOOMY ENVIONMENT AT THE END OF THE END OF THE CENTURY. HIS THOUGHTS ARE EVEN NOT OUTDATED IN THE CONTEMPORARY BUT STILL SHOULD BE PURSUED BY US. HOWEVER, DUE TO HIS EPOCH AND THE LIMITATIONS OF HIS OWN WORLD VIEW, SOME DEFECTS ALSO EXIST IN HIS EXPLORATION OF THE DREAM OF HARMONY.
