重评杜亚泉的东西文化调和观

A Review of Du Yaquan's Theory of Harmony and Mutual Supply Between the Western and Chinese Culture

第一次世界大战的负面影响及其引起的东西方人们对欧洲文明的不信任感刺激了因民族危机而试图从西方寻求救国出路的杜亚泉,他客观对比中西,冷静反思传统,进而提出了东西文化调和观。该主张充分认识到了文化的民族性特点,但忽视了文化的时代性,最终只能以纯学理的财富留予后人以借鉴。

The negative influence of World War I and the sense of unreliability on the European civilization from them,which both existed in the minds of eastern and western people,greatly triggered Du Yaquan who had been trying to seek a way to save our country out of the national crisis from the West.After comparing the East and the West objectively,and giving a retrospection upon traditional culture calmly,Du Yaquan put forward his theory of harmony and mutual supply between the Western and Chinese Culture.His perception sufficiently recognized the national features of the civilization,but neglected its features in that special period,and ultimately made it a theoretical fortune for the people coming behind to take lessons from.
