知识分子政治生活的可能与限度——以民国时期知识分子为参照

Possibility and Limit of Intellectual's Political Life——With reference of intellectuals in the Republic of China Period

基于民国时期知识分子的政治介入与行动取向,学术界多以学术与政治分流的现代视野考察之,每每扼腕于知识分子陷入政治太深,不能潜心于学术文化研究;特定历史主体,如梁启超、胡适等,亦曾多方检讨政治对个人乃至整个时代文化建设路向的干扰。然而,这种让知识人全然退出政治场域回到知识世界的祈向,多少带有意念建构的色彩。理性的态度或许应是明了知识阶层自身的特性,尊重其政治生活的可能,警惕其政治生活的限度。

With academics and politics shunt, the academia makes an analysis about the political involvement and action orientation of intellectuals in the Republic of China Period from the modern perspective, and it often feels great sorry for their excessive involvement in politics, and their inability to be immersed in culture research; and some historical figures, such as LIANG Qi-chao, HU Shi, etc. also made critical reviews about the political distraction imposed by politics on the individual and the construction path of overall cultural construction, However, the significance of enabling knowledge to return to the knowledge world instead of being withdrawn completely from political field has been tainted with conceptual construction more or less. Rational attitude, or a distinct attribute of self-conscious intellectual stratum, should be respectful to possibility of political life and vigilant against the limit of political life.
