阿拉伯巨变的文化审视

Great Changes in the Arab World: A Cultural Perspective

席卷阿拉伯世界的巨变浪潮,是由阿拉伯民族面临的深重危机酿成的。仅从政治、经济与国际关系的角度分析阿拉伯危机依然不够,还应认识到:阿拉伯思想与文化中存在着诸多严重弊端,这是种种危机的深层原因。阿拉伯巨变迄今为止的诉求主要局限于政治层面,并未冲击思想与文化中各种深层问题,因而其意义和价值有很大的局限性。而且,原教旨主义、宗教极端势力、宗派主义等阿拉伯社会的痼弊也于后巨变时代在民主的旗号下呈盛行之势。阿拉伯知识界已开始反思这场巨变的局限性和诸多问题。阿拉伯变革的走向存在诸多不确定性,前景并不令人乐观。

The great changes that have swept and are still sweeping the Arab world,are caused by the deep crisis facing modern Arab society.It is not enough to view the Arab crisis from the political,economic and international relations perspectives.It should be recognized that several serious defects inherent in Arab thought and culture constitute the deep roots of the current crisis.So far,the Arab street's appeals have been confined mainly to seeking political changes,without causing serious pounding on the deep maladies of the Arab thought and culture,so the significance and value of the Arab revolution are limited.The Arab intelligentsia has started to reflect on the limitations and problems of the revolution.There are many uncertainties awaiting Arab's future and people should not be too optimistic about the prospect of the current changes.
