浙东学派与浙江精神研究中的若干问题

Some Questions in The Study of Eastern Zhejiang School and Zhejiang Spirit

以往在对浙东学派和浙江思想的研究中存在着双重的立场,即一方面是站在非主流的立场上对浙东文化的某种自我认同,另一方面则是站在主流立场上对之的批评和贬抑。此外对浙东学派注重功利和史学所以经世的特点也存在着模糊之处,因为它们是明清社会的普遍趋向,不足以表现浙江思想的地域特征和特殊性。要准确地把握浙江精神和思想的特征,需要从自然环境的差异,文化学、社会学,以及主流与非主流的对立和变迁等角度,将浙江思想家放在人类文化的整体和运动中来考察。浙江思想家的特征是与某种非主流文化相联系的,其哲学上的经验主义、神秘主义和历史主义等特征也只有放在类似的背景上才能得到解释,它们在人类思想史上具有普遍的意义。

There are two sides in the studies of Eastern Zhejiang School and Zhejiang Spirit. On the one hand, some people have a sense of euhural identity of Eastern Zhejiang School from the standpoint of the non-mainstream of history; on the other hand, some people take opposite views. Besides, there are ambiguous meanings of character that Eastern Zhejiang Sehool stresses utilitarianism and history should pay attention to the practical knowledge of managing state affairs, because utilitarianism is the universal stream in the Ming-Qing society. For the study of Eastern Zhejiang School and Zhejiang Spirit, we must pay attention to the relationship between Eastern Zhejiang School and the mainstream of Chinese history from the perspective of cultural geography and sociology.
