今年是张岱年先生诞辰100周年。张先生对文化问题一直十分关注。在20世纪30年代的文化论争中,他既反对东方文化优越论,又反对全盘西化论,提出了文化综合创造论。在20世纪80年代和90年代的文化讨论中,他进一步论述了在综合古今中西文化优秀成果的基础上创造当代中国社会主义新文化的思想,阐发了文化综合创新论。综合创新论在当代中国文化理论的建构和文化方向的选择上,占有重要地位,具有重要影响。文章研究了文化综合创新论的提出与发展;文化综合创新论的贡献与面临的问题,实现文化综合创新的条件与前景。

This year is the 100th anniversary of Zhang Dalnian＇s birthday. Mr. Zhang has always been concerned with the culture issue. In the cultural debate of 1930s, he opposed both the Superiority Theory of Eastern Culture and the Wholesale Westernization Theory, and proposed the Cultural Synthetic Creation Theory. Besides, in the cultural debates of the 1980s and 1990s, he further proposed the Cultural Synthetic Innovation Theory, after discussing the idea of creating contemporary Chinese socialist new culture on the basis of combining the eastern and western cultural achievements of ancient and current times. The Synthetic Innovation Theory plays an important role in and has positive impact on the construction of contemporary Chinese cultural theories and the selection of cultural direction. This thesis investigates the proposition and development of the Cultural Synthetic Innovation Theory, discusses the contributions of the theory and the challenges it is facing and explores the conditions and prospect of the Cultural Synthetic Innovation Theory.
