中国现代化与后现代主义

Modernization in China and post-modernism

西方后现代主义思潮是以研究资本主义现代化的负面效应而著称的，后现代主义对支撑西方工业文明的哲学文化精神基础——个体主体性和工具理性进行了反思，试图从根子上“解构”现代化。后现代主义理论对于尚处于现代化起步阶段的中国来说有无价值？以启蒙理性的态度全盘否定其意义和以文化保守主义的立场简单附和其全部主张都显得太轻率，必须从中国目前的具体实际出发，对之进行辩证分析。

Abstract Post-modernism is known for its research into the negative aspect of the capitalist modernization, it is a depth speculation on the philosphical and cultural basis of the Western industrialized civilization : its individualistic orientation and its instumental rationalization, in attempt to 'deconstruct' modernization at roots. It is apparently reckless to deny its position from the perspective of modern rationalism, and to accord with its proposals without preserve from the perspective of the cultural conservatism.
