論文大綱
經由比較研究，既虛且實、超越形式束縛的多重所指，「圓現象閱讀」能夠於文本「得其環中，以應無窮」。本文的旨趣在於以「環中」位置—創作/閱讀互為主體共構—的「主體流」，解開文本特別語言系統的週而復始「圓現象閱讀」方法，解讀日本小說家三島由紀夫的小說《豐饒之海》。研究發現，三島之輪迴美學表現於線性與循環時間的交錯：以本多繁邦的一生，作為帶領讀者觀看作者書中人物流轉的「主體流」，從中共構開展四重生命的轉世：分別為《春雪》的清顯、《奔馬》的飯沼勳、《曉寺》的月光公主和《天人五衰》的安永透。
而覺悟的種子識—「阿那耶識」—作為三島小說的「環中」位置，不是以參悟究竟為最終目標，而是做為藝術的手段，自由出入現實與超現實之間，成為「分裂主體流」：一方面追求「圓現象」的世俗與哀愁，淒美春雪的清顯聰子戀情和殉於武士道政治理想的飯沼勳；另一方面走上充滿困惑的為究竟而「圓」滿的道路，越接近「圓」的終極，竟越是「異端」(本多對同性戀月光公主的無望的愛)與邪惡(本多養子阿透的忤逆倫常)的無常。而最後佝僂百病纏身的老年本多繁邦，與已經成為住持的從美麗跨向智慧的老年綾倉聰子的再次見面，起於/終於月修寺的人間情緣得到循環的終點/起點；「阿那耶識」可以把人帶向究竟，但那無我之流同時也可以讓人面對無邊無際的寂寞。三島發現了卻不「執著」於最終和諧與平靜的「圓」，他的「分裂主體流」寧願停留在抵達之前的美麗與哀愁，莫名與狂亂，以創作，感受，體驗，與「病」共處。

Abstract
Of special interest on the aesthetics of Mishima Yukio’s novel, The Sea of Fertility, this paper focuses on decoding his special language system in the light of the Tao-phenomena Reading (TPR) method. Drawing on conceptual framework of the Western and Eastern thinkers, the TPR is a multiple signifier which let the ‘subjects-flow’, the intersubjectivity of reader and author, co-functions and catches the ‘in-circle’ position and may deal with the endless changes of phenomena. As the research suggesting, Yukio’s reincarnation aesthetics exists in the contradiction and complexity of linear and circular time flow. The usual life of Shigekni Honda, serving as the ‘subjects-flow’, leads readers into author’s world and tells four related-stories of reincarnation separately in the following main characters and titles: Kiyoaki Matsugae, Spring Snow; Isao Iinuma, Running Horses; Princess Ying Chan, The Temple of Dawn and Tōru Yasunaga, The Decay of the Angel.
As a place storing all seeds of phenomenal world, the alaya (i.e., alayavijinana in India), the ultimate consciousness, is the ‘in-circle’ location of Yukio’s sea of fertility. Yukio’s alaya, however, is not for being in the ultimate goodness but serving as an artistic gateway to be in-and-out from the real and surreal world which makes his subject be a ‘divided subjects-flow’. As the love story of Kiyoaki and Satoko and Isao’s devoting to political idea had shown, the subjects-flow searches for the sadness of the secular beauty on the one hand, and steps into a void and confused ultimacy in face of alienated real world, on the other hand, Honda’s hopeless love to the lesbian Princess Ying Chan and the destruction of family love by the evil nature of Honda’s step son, Tōru Honda. Pointing to the separate but endless-circling life phenomena, at the last episode, the conversation of remembering Kiyoaki or not between the elder Honda and the Abbess Satoko at the Gesshūji temple brings Yukio’s reincarnation aesthetics reach the crescendo. Stepping into the alaya may help people experience the ultimacy, but also let us facing endless loneness at the same time. In the novel, The Sea of Fertility, Yukio discovers the peace and harmony of Tao(i.e., Logos, Reality) but refuses to stay at there. At least one of his ‘divided subjects-flow’ insists to live with ‘sickness’ of human being. The TPR method discovers that Yukio enjoys the beauty and sadness, the alienation and madness in the light of artistic creation.
