冯友兰早期文化价值观述论

On Fengyoulan's Earlier Cultural Value

冯友兰在其探索东西文化问题的早期,即持平等的、科学的文化价值观,认为东西方文化都是一种事实,只有对这些事实进行科学的解释,才能真正认识东西文化。冯友兰认为,中国近代没有发展出科学这一西方近代文化精神,是因为中国文化是认识心的,不需要科学;认识、控制心的中国文化与认识、控制物的西方文化是应当调和互济的。冯友兰早期文化价值观的探求奠定了其学术进程的基础。

Fengyoulan takes an equal and scientific stand in his earlier exploration of culture, he thinks that both the eastern culture and the western culture are facts, and based on the scientific research, we can really understand them. Fengyoulan considers that Chinese culture stresses the mind within the human being, so China does not develop the modern western spirit of science because China does not need the science. The western culture stresses overcoming and controlling the nature. The eastern culture and the western culture will be in harmonious proportion. Fengyoulan’s earlier exploration of culture lays the foundation of his learning course.
