人何以终结——试析当代西方文论中传统文化思维模式的因袭

On "The Ends of Man"

20世纪西方思想,尤其是后现代理论,有一个很突出的内容,就是宣扬人的终结。根据钱穆先生在《晚学盲言》中对中西方文化传统的异同,尤其是关于"人"的观念的差异做了深入的研究,指出后现代关于人的终结的讨论,并不像其标榜的那样,是一个当代事件,具有颠覆性的革新意义,相反,它是西方传统文化思维的一个现代变体,是其逻辑发展的必然结果。

＂The Ends of Man＂ was an important argument of western thoughts, especially in the 20th century. Based on the later studies of Qian Mu, this paper argues that the discussion of ＂the Ends of Man＂ is not a subversive contemporary event as some postmodern theorists advertised, on the contrary, it is a modern form of western traditional thoughts, and the inevitable result of its logical development.
