摘要《匹克威克外传》是英国伟大现实主义作家狄更斯的第一部长篇小说，洋溢着乐观主义精神和幽默色彩的喜剧佳作。然而,至今为止,还没有学者将《匹克威克外传》中人物的喜剧性上升到哲学的层面来考量。笔者发现东欧新马克思主义的重要代表人物阿格妮丝•赫勒在她的著作《永恒的喜剧：艺术、文字和生活中的喜剧现象》中第一次赋予喜剧以崭新的哲学意义,开创了喜剧研究哲学的空间。因此,本论文试图在阿格妮丝•赫勒喜剧哲学思想的框架中，借用其道德美学和日常生活交往理论，从“成对”现象，美的性格和日常生活人道化三个方面入手，对狄更斯《匹克威克外传》中独到的喜剧手法和典型人物的喜剧性进行分析，并揭示出狄更斯掩藏在喜剧外表下的人道主义思想。32976

Title Analysis of Characters’ Comedy in Charles Dickens’ The Pickwick Papers from the Perspective of Agnes Heller’s Philosophical Theories
Abstract
The Pickwick Papers, an excellent comedy filled with optimistic spirit and humor, is the first novel of great English realistic writer Charles Dickens. Many scholars have done various studies on this comedy, but until now, few have tried to study its characters’ comedy from the perspective of philosophy. Agnes Heller, the representative of new Marxism in Eastern Europe, is the first person who uses philosophy to study comedy in her work The Immortal Comedy: The Comic Phenomenon in Art, Literature, and Life, which has paved the way for comedy study in the field of philosophy. Therefore, in the framework of Agnes Heller’s comedy philosophy as well as her moral aesthetics and theory of everyday life communication, this thesis analyzes the unique comedy techniques and typical characters’ comedy in The Pickwick Papers from three aspects: “the pairs” phenomenon, the beautiful character and humanity of everyday life, aiming to reveal Dickens’s humanitarianism under the mask of comedy at the same time.
