“去蔽”学习笔记

Study Notes on“Qu Bi”

老一代学者曾经谈到的“去蔽”思想，应该是我们今天“补课”的一项重要内容。潘光旦先生从“去蔽”的角度来强调人文学科在社会发展中的重要性，在今天仍然很有启发意义。社会心理学对于“偏见”的研究，可以看作是对“蔽”研究的组成部分；而社会心理学对于消除“偏见”的研究，可以看作是研究“去蔽”的途径。人们无论生活在大社会还是小团体中，都要努力地去认识自己的社会和文化，同时要去了解和理解他人的社会和文化，要尽可能做到既有自知之明，又懂得他人。这样，“去蔽”就变得非常重要了。

The idea about ＂qu bi＂ （dis-cover,去蔽） that had been discussed by some scholars should be an important part when we make up a missed lesson （ ＂bu ke＂, ;补课）. Mr. Pan Guangdan had emphasized the importance of humanities to social development in terms of ＂qu bi＂. Researches on prejudice in social psychology could be regarded as a part of the study on ＂bi＂ （蔽）. And social psychological researches about how to be free from prejudice could be seen as the way of studying ＂qu bi＂. We should not only try to understand our own society and culture, but to understand other society and culture. It is important for us to be self-knowledge and attempt to understand others as well. Therefore, ＂qu bi ＂ becomes very important.
