论现代大学制度肇始的精神传统

On the Spiritual Traditions Established in the Inchoation of Chinese and Western Modern University Systems

从西方现代大学制度的发端到我国现代大学制度的肇始,我们都不难发现:当大学在中西方以独立的社会学术组织形态浮出历史水面时,它本源于学术活动的规律和逻辑是大学自治、学术自由、教授治校等大学精神的彰显。故此,西方现代大学制度的发端是大学自治、学术自由、教授治校的精神传统;我国现代大学制度的肇始则是潜心向学、追求学术的书院精神、中体西用的思想宗旨以及学术至上的大学理念。纵深的历史证实基于崇尚学术的精神传统是中西方现代大学制度肇始的思想根基与共同指向。

From the inchoation of Chinese and western modern university systems, it can be easily noticed that university, emerging as an independent academic social organization in Chinese and western countries, originated from the logical laws of academic activities and represented university spirits such as university autonomy, academic freedom, and faculty governance. Therefore, the start of western modern university system is university autonomy, academic freedom, and faculty governance. The start of Chinese modern university systems is the pursuit of academies, the concept of ＂Chinese-style Westernization＂, and the thought of academic first. The history reveals that the spiritual traditions based on worship of academic is the thought foundation and common orientation of western and Chinese modern university system inchoation.
