学衡派五四观的哲学审视——兼论学衡派现代性诉求的独特禀性

A Philosophical Insight into Xueheng School'sView of May 4^(th) Movement——And on the Unique Character of Xueheng's Modernity Petition

因受五四新思潮激进反传统的刺激,吴宓等留美生于1922年春出版《学衡》杂志,发表了大量的反思、批判五四新文化运动的言论,充分展示了对现代性追求的独特禀性,形成中国现代文化保守主义重镇学衡派。学衡派既反对激进反传统的情绪化态度,又不赞成以西方晚近某家某派标举西方文化的文化观,而是主张新旧相对论,认为古今中西文化当明其源流,融会贯通,以建设真正的新文化。学衡派现代性源自传统的观点与新文化运动现代化即西化的立场构成对立互补的关系,代表着另一种文化启蒙,当给予正确的评价。

Stimulated by May 4^th new thoughts and radical anti-tradition moment, Wu Mi and others who had studied in USA started Xueheng, a magazine that published a good many retrospective and critical articles May 4^th new culture movement, exhibiting the unique characteristics pursued by modernity, and forming the Xueheng School, the fortification of cultural conservatism of modern China. Xueheng School was against the moody attitude of radical anti-tradition movement, as well as disapproved the cultural view of regarded recent school in the west as western culture. It insisted on the relativity of the old and the new, believing that Chinese and western cultures, which have quite different sources, should be combined and united to construct a true new culture. Its idea about modernity originated from conflicting yet supplementary relationship between tradition ideas and the new cuhure＇s modernization, viz. westernization. It represents another kind of cultural enlightenment, needing a right evaluation.
