论全球化时代中国文化的定位

Orientation of the Chinese Culture in the Present Globalized World

全球化是世界历史大趋势,在西方首先发生并向全球推进。作者认为,它有一定的普遍价值观,首先在西方得到广泛承认和接受,在二战后渐渐被其它地区的国家和人民接受。全球化对于那些已经封闭定型的文化会带来极大的冲击。开放性的文化在全球化时代可以获得更生的机会,而封闭性文化会丧失其影响力。全球化给中国文化带来了冲击,但是也有了一个自我审视、自我更新的机会。

Globalization, which was initiated in the Western world, has become a world-wide phenomenon. And its values have been widely acknowledged at first in the West and gradually recognized and accepted by other nations. Under this circumstance, the closed culture experiences great influence from more open cultures. This influence can very well be felt in the traditional Chinese culture. And at the same time, the Chinese culture has an opportunity for self-scrutiny and self-renovation.
