文化的三阶层——论钱穆的“文化构成”说

Three Levels of Culture——Comments on Qian Mu's Theory of Cultural Structure

在钱穆看来,文化即人生。人生必须面对"物世界""人世界"和"心世界",相应地,文化则是物质的、集体的和精神的三部门之融合体。作为其文化学理论的基础内核,"文化三阶层"理论从人类生活、文化要素及人文演进3个层面展现了文化的立体性。对于今天中国的文化建设而言,"文化三阶层"理论启示我们要注重文化体系各部门配搭的协调发展,尤其是要重视发挥道德的引领作用。同时,也要重建人民对中华民族文化的自信。

In Qian Mu＇s opinion,culture is life. All life must face the world of material,social and soul,in proportion,culture is the fusion of the three departments of material,collective and spirit. As the basis of his cultural theory,＂Three Levels of Culture＂shows the three-dimension of culture from the level of human life,cultural elements and cultural evolution. For china＇s cultural construction,＂Three Levels of Culture＂has the certain enlightenment function. On the one hand,we should pay attention to the harmonious collocation of the elements of culture,especially that we should attach great importance to the leading role of morality. On the other hand,we should rebuild the confidence of the Chinese nation couture.
