郭沫若“两极评价”的再思考

Rethinking on the "Bipolar Appraisal" of Guo Moruo

近20年来,中国学界呈现出对郭沫若的"两极评价"。这既是一个重要的文化现象,也是非常重要的学术现象,但学界一直缺乏对这一现象的深入思考。郭沫若的"两极评价"现象反映出一些研究成果的科学性不足,具体表现为主观性和片面性影响了学术评价的科学立场;漠视研究对象的独特性与复杂性影响了学术评价的科学态度;割裂个体与历史的联系也影响了评价的科学性。对郭沫若的评价,既要贯彻历史主义,也要发掘其当代价值。

During the last twenty years, a ＂bipolar appraisal＂ of Guo Moruo has presented itself in the aca- demic circle of China. This is not only an important cultural phenomenon but also an important academic one. However, the academic circle has so far ignored to give it an in -depth thinking. The present paper argues that the ＂bipolar appraisal＂ phenomenon of Guo Moruo reflects certain scientific shortage of the research a- chievements, and this shortage is specifically embodied in the fact that subjectivity and one - sidedness has distorted the scientific standpoint in academic evaluation, that ignorance of the uniqueness and complexity of the study object has affected the scientific attitude in academic evaluation, and that laceration of the link be- tween individual and history has done harm to a scientific evaluation. An appraisal of Guo Moruo needs both historicism and exploration of its contemporary value as well.
