论中国传统“士人精神”的现代转换

On the Modern Transformation of Chinese Traditional “Spirit of Scholar”

士人是中国传统文化的承载者、传播者 ,他们特有的政治精神是中国传统政治文化价值体系的凝聚 ,并不具有现代性。本文针对学界将士人等同于现代知识分子的观点 ,指出从传统的士人精神中走出来 ,实现当代中国知识分子精神的现代化 ,还需要在“价值支点”、“人生目标”和“人格结构”等三个方面完成从传统到现代的转换过程。

Scholars were the carriers and disseminators of Chinese traditional culture. Their characteristic political and cultural spirit was an embodiment of Chinese traditional value system of politics and culture, which possessed no modernity. Directing against the viewpoint of educational circles that traditional scholars were equated with modern intellectuals, the author expresses his opinion as follows. To go away traditional spirit of scholar and to realize the modernization of the spirit of contemporary intellectuals, the course of transforming tradition to modern has to be completed in such aspects as “pivot point of value”, “objective of life”, and “structure of character”.
