The Division between Two Cultural Sights： Reconsidering the Gogol-Belinsky Argument

果戈理与别林斯基围绕《与友人书信选》的论争是一桩思想史公案，其实质是两种“文化视力之争”。在对待果戈理的自然派倾向问题上，别林斯基看到的是“自然性”与批判性，果戈理自己看到的是“和解”与救赎；在如何解决俄国的现实问题以及如何看待俄国的未来的问题上，别林斯基看到的是革命，果戈理看到的是信仰。作为解决现实困境的别林斯基立场更易为大众所接受，但作为解决永恒的灵魂问题的果戈理立场，则需要人类在拯救的进程中逐渐领悟。

The argument over Selected Passages from Correspondence with his Friends between Gogol and Belinsky is well-known for its eomplication in the history of thought. In essence the division is between two cultural sights. Concerning Gogol＇ s ＂Natural School＂ tendency, for example, what Belinsky sees is the ＂Natural＂ and critieal tendency, while Gogol himself sees ＂reconciliation＂ and redemption. As to how to solve Russia＇ s existing and future problems, what Belinsky has in mind is revolution, while Gogol trusts in religious faith. Belinsky＇ s stance is more popular with the masses for its usefulness, while Gogol＇ s, aiming to solve the eternal soul predieament, is destined to be understood gradually in the proeess of human beings＇ salvation.
