摘要
"五四"以降,面对东、西方文化问题,中国现代知识分子多持文化激进主义,而文化保守主义者也不乏其人。林语堂的世界文化建构独具一格,且对今天的文化发展仍有重大意义。林语堂"两脚踏东西文化",在儒、释、道以及基督教之间优游自如,融会贯通,看似"矛盾"的思想表层下,是对"上帝的父性"的坚信及对生命精神价值的丰富和永恒的坚定追求。他通过人文主义思想这个"筏子"渡过迷津,孜孜以求个体的精神自由与道德完善,并将现代基督教人学精神引入到自己的文化构想中,力图建立一种理想的个人主义的世界文化。
Lin Yutang＇s worldwide cultural construction is unique, which is still of great significance for today＇s culture development. Lin Yutang combined a bridge between eastern and western cultures, by learning widely from strong points among Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Christianity. He believed in the＂God＂,pursuit the value of the life and the eternal. Humanism thought was his ＂raft＂, towards individual freedom and moral perfection. And he brought the modern Christian humanism spirit into his own culture thoughts, trying to build an ideal worldwide culture.
