超越狭隘的文化民族主义——以中国美学的现代转型为例

CAN WE SURPASS THE NARROW CULTURAL NATIONALISM? Reflections on the Modern Transition of Chinese Aesthetics

文化激进主义和文化保守主义实质上是文化民族主义的一体两面。尽管这种狭隘的文化民族主义或许并不像人们所讨论的那般深重和浓烈,但它的出现并非空穴来风,无中生有。它的存在妨碍着中国文化现代转型中的创造。在我们无法规避文化全球化进程的今天,超越狭隘的文化民族主义立场和倾向,以更开放的心态、多元并存的态度、共生互补的策略,打破各执一端的“中国化”或“西化”的单线进化论的思维框架,建立一种诠释学的方式从主体性走向主体间性,在中国古典美学与现代(西方)美学之间的“视界融合”中创造性地转化,并在这种累积转化中积极地回应现时代的现实问题和现代性的挑战,或许是中国美学完成现代转型无法规避的一个建设性向度。

Cultural radicalism and conservatism in fact are nationalism may not be as strong as what people have discussed, two sides of cultural nationalism. Though this narrow cultural it has its foundation to emerge. Its existence has prevented the creation of Chinese aesthetics in the transition. At a time when we can inevitably meet the process of globalization, we should have an open mind to break the single thinking framework of ＂Chinese character＂ or ＂westernization＂, and build a bridge between classical Chinese aesthetics and modem western aesthetics in a way of annotation-from subjectivity to inter-subjectivity, and actively face the realistic problems and the challenge from the times in the course of accumulation and transition.
