历史、价值与《新青年》思想能力的激活

History,Value and Revival of New Youth's Thinking Power

在《新青年》杂志创刊一百周年之际,近代以来逐渐被"博物馆化"的儒教与曾推动儒教"博物馆化"的新文化运动,在中国知识空间中却似乎出现了一定幅度的命运逆转。对《新青年》涉及宗教认知、社会进化论等理念的价值重估,与对曾由新民主主义论的革命史观主导的新文化"故事"的历史重写,两种互惠的历史动力,促使新文化运动某种程度被反向"博物馆化"。对新文化运动的历史书写逐渐从"典型的历史"走向"真实的历史"。《新青年》以个体自主为核心价值,绝对肯定人的意志和能力。它不仅呼应、承接了儒学近代转型、朝向人性回归的根本命题,也拥有鲜活的生命力介入当下的社会生活。

The fate of Confucianism and New Culture Movement seemed to have a changeover to some extent in Chinese intellec- tual sphere, compared with the ＂museumification＂ course of Confucianism over the past one hundred years since the New Youth published its first volume in 1915. Two historical impetuses, one from the revaluation of the New Youth＇s ideas related to reli- gious recognition and social evolution theories, the other from the rewriting of new culture history, have reciprocally impelled somewhat reverse of the ＂museumification＂ of the New Culture Movement. The historical narration of the New Culture Move- ment gradually changed from a ＂typical history＂ to a ＂true history＂. The core values of the New Youth consist of respecting in- dividual independence and affirming individual will and power, which not only inherit the essence of Confucianism in the course of transformation towards the revival of humanity, but also get involved in the social life with the strong thinking power nowa- days.
