季羡林“东西方文化互补论”

On Complementary Theory Between Eastern and Western Cultures Proved by JiXianlin

作为中国比较文学的奠基人之一,季羡林一生的学术研究,很难用一两个词语或一两个学科的名称加以概括,他客观地分析了西方文化中的"天人二分"思维模式,参照中国"天人合一"的综合思维模式,提出了科学性论断"三十年河东,三十年河西",并称之为"东西方文化互补论",以实现东西方文化的平等交流。他还提出了"拿来主义"以及"送去主义",反对"西方中心论",推进"文化多元化"的理论,使中西方文化相互融合,共同创造人类美好的文化前进之路。

As one of the founders of Chinese comparative literature,it is hard to generalize the achievements made by JiXianlin with a few words.By analyzing the dichotomy pattern of thinking between human and nature,he put forward ＂Rich get poorer,poor get richer Theory＂ or the ＂Eastern and western culture complementary Theory＂ in order to communicate with the Westerners equally.He also put forward the ideas of ＂taking＂ and ＂giving＂ to combat the Occidentalism and promoted the development of cultural diversity to push forward cultural interfusion between the East and the West.
