民族精神的现代性处境

The Modernity Situation of Ethos

民族精神是在现代性条件下突显为问题意识的。现代性是在近代西方形成的,包含历史、哲学、社会学、美学以及西方性等多重维度。不同文化传统及民族在现代性及全球时代开始了新的文化自觉,但文化传统如何显现为肯定性的现代性要素,仍然是不同民族、特别是后发展民族的时代课题。民族国家是现代性的典型的社会形式,但是对于非西方社会而言又需要建立一种关于民族国家的新的理解模式。后现代性为民族性的多样化理解提供了一种可能性,但是,东方主义问题的提出表明,努力呈现后发展国家的真实的民族性仍然极其艰难。

In modern condition, Ethos is faced with questions and includes many dementions, just as history, philosophy, sociology, esthetics and westernity. In modernity and global ages, deferent peoples and traditions began their new consciousness of culture tradition, as is still a problem in this age. Nation-state is typical social form in modern society, but it needs a new comprehend mode for non-western. Post-modernity affords a possibility for a muhi-comprehendof nationality, but formth e view of orientalism, we can see it＇s still very difficult to open the reality of non-western＇ s nationalities.
