商务印书馆与五四时期社会思潮

The Commercial Press and the trend of the Cultural Movement of the May Fourth

五四新文化运动时期,商务印书馆通过对各种新思潮的积极引进而与新文化运动发生了极为密切的联系。“兼 容并包、兼收并蓄”的文化观使当时的商务印书馆被打上了中庸的烙印。但是,笔者认为,这种“务存任何学说之真 相”,以供人们抉择的出版方针并非没有存在的必要,其深味会随着时间推移而愈加彰显。

In the Cultural Movement of the May Fourth, the Commercial Press was closely related to the Cultural Movement of the May Fourth by introducing new trends. Owing to its 'all-embracing' and 'incorporating-things-of-diverse-natures' cultural outlooks, the Commercial Press was looked upon as 'the doctrine of the mean'. The present paper argues for the necessity of the existence of this publishing policy of 'keeping truth of any theory'.
