It is the English pronunciation of the Greek word pathos, and is used to mean emotion, sorrow, or sadness. It refers to the emotion felt by the human heart, and as it is a temporary emotion, it contrasts with the repetitive and diffuse ethos and the rational and active logos. In a broad sense, it can also mean suffering, passion, and misfortune, but generally it refers to sadness and sadness in art and life, as well as motifs that evoke them. Along with humor and irony, it is an important characteristic in literary technique. [Hideo Funato] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
ギリシア語パトスの英語読みで、情念、悲哀、哀感の意味に用いられる。人間の心が受ける感動のことで、一時的情感なので、反復的・瀰漫(びまん)的なエートスや理性的・能動的なロゴスと対比的である。広義では苦しみ、激情、悲運などの意も含むが、一般には芸術、人生における愁哀、哀感、またそれを喚起するモチーフを表す。ユーモア、アイロニーなどとともに、文学手法上、重要な特質である。 [船戸英夫] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
