斯诺与梁宗岱的“两种文化”之比较

Comparing Snow and LIANG Zongdai's “Two Cultures”

斯诺"两种文化"命题与梁宗岱类似观点的文本比较,虽存在具体历史语境的差异性,但对当下和谐社会文化建设,均具有重要的理论价值和现实意义。斯诺的"两种文化"与梁宗岱的"非古复古",有一定程度的相似性。但斯诺命题更具系统性,因为其深入探讨了"两种文化"产生的根源,其分裂所导致的灾难性后果与弥合这种分裂的可能性。尤其是其"第三文化"的预言,肯定了从"两种文化"到第三种文化的历史发展方向,对当下及未来的文化发展具有前瞻性意义。

Snow＇ s philosophy of ＂two cultures＂ is compared with LIANG Zongdai＇ s theory. Although there is difference due to specific historic contexts, it is still of great importance to current harmonious society philosophy. The idea of ＂two cultures＂ is similar,to some degree,to LIANG＇ s idea of ＂Vintage＂. Snow＇ s proposition is more systematic with a deep consideration of the root of the ＂two cultures＂ ,the possible disastrous consequence caused by its separation, and possibility of complementing. The prediction of ＂the third culture＂ confirms the historic developing direction from the two cultures to the third culture. This is of great importance to the future cultural development.
