试析新中国成立以来对《星期评论》的评价

Comments on Weekly Review and the Evaluation Thereof

20世纪80年代以前,《星期评论》被界定为"一份不革命的刊物",90年代之后又被誉为"传播马克思主义的主要阵地"。出现如此巨大的反差,原因在于没有提出合理的评价标准。本文认为,应该用"进步"而不是"革命"作为尺度来评价五四时期的刊物。《星期评论》是五四时期的进步期刊,这种进步性主要体现在它对马克思主义和劳工运动的关注上。

Weekly Review was defined as 'a non-revolutionary journal' before the 1990s and later it was praised as 'one of the main positions for propagating Marxism.' The sharp contrast in its appraisal was rooted in the absence of a reasonable criterion of evaluation. In the view of this paper, we should see whether it was 'progressive' rather than whether it was 'revolutionary' when we evaluate the journals published in the period of May Fourth Movement. Weekly Review was a progressive journal in the May Fourth period and its progressiveness was embodied in its concern with Marxism.
