论当代中国文化面对的时代性张力

The Temporal Tension Faced by Contemporary Culture of China

当代中国文化面对的时代性张力主要包括了两个基本的方面:其一,在西方现代化过程中主要是以历时性的形态逐渐呈现出来的“前现代”、“现代”与“后现代”,在当代中国却是以共时性的方式被挤压在同一个平面上。其二,当中国还没有完全实现现代化,还没有能够充分享受现代化之积极成就的时候,西方则已经走向了“后现代”,并提出了“走出现代性”的主张。这就使得当代中国在面向未来的选择中面临左冲右突的两难困境。后现代主义思潮的兴起更为清楚地表明:在中国文化的现代开展中,全盘西化此路不通。面向未来的中国文化必须切实挺立民族文化精神的主体性。

The temporal tension faced by contemporary culture of China comes from two aspects. One is that pre-modern, modern and post-modern, which is a historical process in western countries, are compacted into a point in China, the other is that the western countries have come into post-modern and claimed for going out of modern while China hasn＇t completely modernization and enjoyed the positive result of modernization. The contemporary culture of China is in a dilemma when it makes a decision to its future development. The rise of post-modern thought indicates that China can＇t be fully westernized in its own modernization. The future culture of China should construct subjectivity of its own national culture spirit in development.
