严复的西学道路与“士”的情结——从《论世变之亟》谈起

On Yanfu's Western Learning Path and Complex of Scholar-officials——Talk from Lun shi bian zhi ji

严复是一位游走在中西文化夹缝中的"过渡时代"的"士"。《论世变之亟》,显示了严复作为当时第一位真正意义上的比较文化学者的远见卓识。但是其根深蒂固的"士"的情结,导致了他后来精神世界贯穿一生的矛盾。他终究不是一个独立的知识分子。

Yanfu is a scholar-official of transitional era,who walks between Chinese and Western Cultures.Lun shi bian zhi ji shows his foresight as the first truly scholar of comparative culture at that time.But his deep-rooted complex of scholar-officials results in the contradictions in his spiritual world through his whole life.He isn＇t an independent intellectual after all.
