| dc.description.abstract (摘要) | In Somnium, published posthumously in 1634, Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) integrates his advocacy for Copernican heliocentrism with imaginative narrative, thus laying the groundwork for modern science fiction. Originating from a 1593 student astronomical disputation and expanded through a dream vision added in 1609, Kepler's Somnium unfolds through intricately layered frame narratives. Two embedded narratives abruptly end as the dreamer in the outermost narrative awakens, leaving them without proper conclusions. The core narrative contains a fantastical lunar tour given by a supernatural daemon, detailing the extraterrestrial life forms and otherworldly landscapes on the moon. This essay analyzes the unfinished frame narratives in Somnium, arguing that the daemon in the core narrative epitomizes an unprejudiced astronomer just like Kepler, who remains detached when presenting carefully calculated and scientifically grounded accounts of the lunar world. The daemon's interrupted speech aptly symbolizes the unfinished state of Kepler's astronomical explorations of the moon, which further attests to the insatiable human curiosity for unraveling the mysteries of the unknown as well as the everlasting pursuit of scientific inquiries. | |
| dc.description.abstract (摘要) | 約翰尼斯．克卜勒（Johannes Kepler, 1571－1630）於1634年出版的遺作《夢》（Somnium）融合了他對哥白尼日心說的擁護與富有想像力的敘事手法，奠定了現代科幻小說的基礎。《夢》最初源自1593年克卜勒學生時期的天文學論文，並於1609年在科學論文之外增添「夢啟」（dream vision）框架，逐步發展成為層次錯綜的框架敘事。作品中兩個「嵌入式敘事」（embedded narratives）皆在最外層敘事的夢者驟然驚醒時戛然而止，未能得到完整的結局。核心敘事（core narrative）講述超自然精靈（supernatural daemon）為夢者進行月球導覽，細緻描繪月球上的外星生命與奇異景觀。本文聚焦探討《夢》中未竟的框架敘事，主張核心敘事中的精靈象徵著不帶偏見的天文學家，如同克卜勒本人，在描述月球異世界時仍保持理性客觀，以精密計算和科學推論為依據。由於夢者驚醒，夢中該精靈的導覽演說遭到中斷，恰恰象徵克卜勒對月球天文探索的未竟之業，也進一步印證了人類對未知奧秘的無盡好奇心，以及對科學探究永無止境的追尋。 | |
