略论新文化运动的法兰西风格

On French Style of Chinese New Culture Movement

中国新文化运动的激进性和法国启蒙运动的激进性密切相关。中国启蒙运动的旗手陈独秀是一个不折不扣的"法国迷",这是当时中国盛行的一种"法国崇拜"的结果,而这种"法国崇拜"其实就是对法国大革命产生的那种激进革命文化的崇拜。法国大革命的激进性源自法国启蒙的激进性,其根本缘由是法兰西民族对"平等"价值的强烈偏好。中法两个民族都勇敢地选择了激进革命来摧毁不平等的制度,都愿意坦然面对由此产生的一切负面效应。法国革命后的政治文化革新工程应引起我们的高度重视,法国政治现代化的历史经验值得我们借鉴。

There is a close connection between the radicalism of the Chinese New Culture Movement and that of the French Enlightenment.Chen Duxiu,the standard-bearer of the Chinese New Culture Movement, used to be an out-and-out “Francophile”,which was an outcome of the “Cult of France”prevailing in early 20th century China,in fact a popular worship of the radical revolutionary culture produced by the French Revolution.The radicalism of the Revolution derived from that of the French Enlightenment,while the origin of both was the intensive preference of the French nation for the value of “equality”.Both the Chinese and French nations bravely chose radical revolution to destroy regime of inequality,and readily faced all negative effects of this action.The French reformation projects of the political culture following the Revolu-tion,or the whole historical experiences of the French political modernization,might be worthy of our close concern.
