本研究目的在探討「自我敘說」與「生命詩學」之關係。首先，回顧了心理學歷史中「敘事轉向」之興起，敘事取向逐漸地成為一股新的學術取向。「敘事」是關於人類行為的一種「根本隱喻」，而自我敘說則是個人自身敘說或書寫自己的生命故事。「生命詩學」是指個人如何運用建構的（賦）、想像的（比），以及激發情感及行動的（興）原則，將其生命經驗組織成一種新的形式及意義的動態歷程。本文以梁漱溟（1893-1988）的一篇自述文本為例，分析結果顯示自述文本體現了某些生命詩學的特徵。因此，我們認為「自我敘說」可以視為一種特殊形式的生命詩學。兩者相通，只是「生命詩學」涵括較廣。最後，本文宣稱，可將生命詩學（或自我敘說）作為一種不同於傳統心理學的「新的理論視框」。而這種新的視框，可使心理學邁向建立一種「價值負載的心理學」。

This article aims at an examination of the relationship between self-narrative and the poetics of life. By reviewing the history of psychology, we find a “narrative turn” that gradually generates a new academic stream in the discipline. Narrative serves as a “root metaphor” of human conduct. Self-narrative is a story narrated or rewritten by a person himself or herself. The poetics of life is a constructing, imaginative and inspiring process giving a new form and meaning of personal experiences. Taking a self-narrative of Liang, Shu-Ming (1893-1988) for example, we anaylse that it shows certain characteristics of the poetics of life. Therefore, Self-narrative could be viewed as a special form of the poetics of life. Finally, we claim that the poetics of life (or self-narrative) serves as a new theoretical view to psychology which is different from the traditional view. With this new perspective, psychology can move toward a “value-ladened psychology.”
