论胡适的文化救国论

On Hu Shi's View of Culturally Saving the Nation

胡适是中国现代学术史和文化史上的一位大师。上世纪初,中国正处于半殖民地半封建社会的深渊,他试图“在思想文艺上替中国政治建筑一个革新的基础”,主张向西方学习科学与民主,试图文化救国。但是他的文化救国论,根本就起不到救国的作用,而只能作为一种研究和解决问题的方法论。

Hu Shi is a great master on Chinese modem academic history and cultural history. At the beginning of the last century, China was in the abyss of semi - colonial and semi - feudal society, and was faced with a problem of going in what direction. Hu Shi attempted ＂for the foundation of an innovation of the political building of China by means of thought, literature and art＂. He advocated ＂the science＂ and ＂the democracy＂ to save the nation, but in vain his view could only serve as one of the studying methodologies of the cultural problem.
