文学是存在判断与价值判断的综合——论钱钟书对文学进化论的质疑

literature is a synthesis of existence judgment and value judgment——on Qian Zhong Shu's criticism against Literature evolution

钱钟书对文学进化论表示深刻质疑,认为其将"文学进化"与"事实进化"混为一谈,因为文学不同于一般简单事物,乃存在判断与价值判断的综合,其发展应有别于后者的演化过程。钱钟书的观点构成对近代以进化论所代表的直线式时间观、后来居上式进步观、目的论历史观,以及形形色色的乐观主义思想观念的一种有力反驳与消解。

Qian Zhongshu criticized literature evolution deeply, think it have been confusing literature evolution and nature evolution, because Literature is different from natural material in essence, the former is a synthesis of -xistence judgment and value judgment, so its evolution also ought to be different from the latter. This opinion is a strong deconstruction to the mainstream concepts in morden academia such as linear time view, progress view which considers that the latercomers surpasses the past certainly, teleological history view, and optimism ideas from the theory of evolution.
