20世纪的“中体西用”论

“Chinese Cultures as Basis and Western Cultures as Subsidiary” Theory in the 20th Century

以梁漱溟为代表的东方文化派 ,以王新命为代表的中国本位文化派 ,以贺麟为代表的抗战时期的新儒家以及 50年代以后的港台新儒家 ,他们的文化主张 ,虽然都没有明确提出“中体西用”论 ,甚至反对“中体西用”论。但本文认为 ,这些文化主张无论在方法论上 ,还是在具体的内容上都没有从根本上脱离“中体西用”的模式 ,相反却是“中体西用”

Neither the Oriental Culture School represented by Liang Shuming, nor the China Selfish Departmental Culture School by Wang Xinming, nor the New Confucianism by He Lin during Anti Japanese War, nor the New Confucianism in Hong Kong and Macao after 1950s advocated the theory of “Chinese Cultures as Basis and Western Culture as Subsidiary” for they were actually against it. What they advacated, however, were by no means separated from that theory either in methodology or in content. They were, rather, variations of that theory in the new historical period.
