Abstract:In the newly published work The Childhood of Jesus, Coetzee not only shifts his focuses on the protagonists' ethical predicament from social causes in previous works to individual inner moral deficiency, but highlights solipsism as a human abnormal ethics and the constant pilgrimage to truth of Good as the way of redemption. This novel actually reflects Simón's ethical growth process, namely, from being puzzled by solipsism, with its core being Eikasia, then paying attention to others through ethical reflections, and finally to respecting others' subjectivity and constantly approaching the truth of Good.
