东西方文化趋异的深层动因分析

Deep Driving Force of Divergence Between Eastern and Western Cultures

本文以文化比较为切入点,透过对弱语境文化和强语境文化、外向型文化和内向型文化、积极型(民族)文化和审慎型(民族)文化、一元时间/单向计时制(文化)和多元时间/多向计时制(文化)、动刚文化和静柔文化、非接触文化和接触文化、离散型文化和聚拢型文化、个体主义文化和集体主义文化等特征的分析,揭示了东西方文化差异的深层动因——集体主义和个体主义是"母体",个体独立性是"发动机"。

The paper explores,through a contrastive study, the deep driving force between the divergence of Eastern and Western cultures, by analyzing low-context culture and high-context culture, extraversion culture and introversion culture, high-involvement culture and high-considerness culture, mono-chronic time/M-time system （culture） and poly-chronic time/P-time system （culture）, active and resolute culture, passive and subdued culture, non-contact/non-touch culture and contact/touch culture, apartness culture and togetherness culture, individualistic culture （individualism） and collectivist culture （collectivism）. For the divergence of Eastern and Western cultures, individualism and collectivism constitute the ＂matrix ＂, individuality being the ＂engine＂.
