胡先骕——科学与人文融汇的典范

Hu Xiansu:An Integrator for Science and Humanities

我国近代植物学的开创者胡先骕先生,既是一位科学家,也是一位人文学者,同时还是一位卓有建树的管理者.本着对科学精神和人文理念的双重追求,他把这种融汇致力于中国传统文化的坚持和教育事业中.胡先骕秉承新的文学创作及文化创新必须植根于传统的思想,因而强烈反对胡适等人鼓吹的全盘西化论,并批评新文学倡导者对待传统文化的偏激之举.文章在梳理《学衡》杂志有关胡先骕的文章时发现,胡先骕坚持科学和人文的教育理念,并将其人文理念融入教育实践之中,致力于人的素质提高的人文主义,由此胡先骕批判地吸收了新人文主义的理论与实践成果,形成了自己独有的以人文教育为核心的现代中国教育观.
