论五四时期东方文化派的调和思想——兼论东方文化派的孔子观

On the Consonance Concept of the School of Orient Culture during the Period of May 4th Movement in 1919.

五四时期,当众多知识分子就文化选择、孔子评价等问题进行激烈争论的时候,东方文化派也积极参与,深入评论,成为这场中西文化大论战中的一个重要思想流派。他们一方面要求保存传统、昌明孔教,另一方面,反对顽固守旧,提倡中西融合,批判神化孔子,对当时的思想界影响很大。调和中西、折衷新旧,是东方文化派中西文化观的基本特征。这一特征形成于新旧思潮的激烈冲突中,反映了五四时期文化选择的艰难。

During the period of May 4th Movement, when the intellectuals were locked in the hot arguments about culture selection and the comments on Confucius, the school of Orient Culture also took part in the discussion and became an important school in this Eastern and Western Culture Argument. On one hand, they advocate the conservation of traditions and the flourish of Confucianism; on the other hand, they against the stubborn and narrow-minded attitudes towards old fashion; they advocate the mixture of East and West; they criticize the deifying of Confucius. All these opinions had great influence on the societies at that time. The mixture of East and West and the mediate of the new and the old are the basic features of the Orient Culture. This feature formed in the intense conflict between new and old ideas shows the difficulty of Culture Selection at the end of 1910s.
