龚自珍“心力”说和王国维“天才”观辨析

Differentiation and Analysis of the Gong Zizhen's Theory of "Mental Effort" and Wang Guowei's View of "Genius"

龚自珍的"心力"说和王国维的"天才"观都张扬着个体的主观力量,都具有崇尚自由、超越自我的品格,在对社会人心的关注中,都表现出鲜明的启蒙色彩和人文精神。其不同之处在于,"心力"说本质上是一种伦理观念的自觉,具有浓厚的道德性。"天才"观本质上是一种现代生命自由意识,具有唯美主义倾向。这两者都体现了近代知识分子人格觉醒的基本特点。

Both Gong Zizhen＇s ＂mental effort＂ theory and Wang Guowei＇s ＂genius＂ view have the characteristics of advocating individual＇s subjective forces,respecting for freedom and going beyond oneself.As far as public feeling is concerned,they have shown distinct humanistic spirit of enlightenment.The difference is that ＂mental efforts＂ theory is essentially an ethical consciousness,with a strong morality.But ＂Genius＂ view is essentially a sense of modern freedom,with the aesthetic tendencies.Both reflect the basic features of personality awakening of modern intellectuals.
