简论近代“新民思潮”的逻辑发展

On the Logic Development of Modern New Democracy Ideological Trend

近代新民思潮是中国近代启蒙思想运动的一个重要组成部分,也是"五四"前后"改造国民性运动"必然组成部分。它是中国近代先进的知识分子在严重的民族危机的时代背景下,随着近代中国人"向西方寻求救亡道路"的过程中提出并深入发展的。持续紧张的民族危机是这一思潮兴起并不断深入发展的最深层次的原因。但救亡的迫切任务又反过来阻碍这一思潮的深入发展,救亡的要求成为制约着近代新民思潮发展的逻辑线索。因此,其艰难的历程既为我们今天的社会主义精神文明建设留下了必须完成的课题,又为我们今天的国民素质的提高提供了有益的启示。

Modem New democracy ideological trend is one of the most important events of the Enlightenment. It is also the necessary part of the campaign of remaking the Republic of China around the May 4th movement. It was raised by the advanced intellectuals of modem China during the crisis of the country, and it developed deeply in the course of modern Chinese＇s asking for national salvation from foreign countries. The constant tense nation crisis was the cause of the raising and developing of the ideological trend. But the mission of saving our nation also prevented the development of the movement, the requirement of saving our nation became the clue of restricting the development of the ideological trend. So, the hard course not only left the task of building the socialist spirit civilization of today, but also provided the enlightenment of people quality developing.
