高旭的国学观评析

Comments on the Gao Xu's View of Chinese Culture

高旭认为儒家思想有利于专制统治,在现代社会要想建立民主共和国家,就必须推崇有着民主主义思想的墨学;墨学比儒学更具有社会实践价值;中国古代文化发展缓慢乃至停滞,主要是因为大一统时期专制政治压制的结果;中国对待文化的正确态度应该是在保存古代优秀文化遗产的基础上,吸收现代西方文化的长处,与时俱进,以此将中国建设成为一个现代国家,并将中国文化发扬光大。

Gao Xu believes that Confucianism is conducive to despotism. Thus it can be seen that in order to establish a democratic republic in modern society, the Mohist theory is necessary to be advocated for the democratic elements it contains. The development of ancient Chinese thought was slow and stagnated, mainly because of the suppression exerted by autocratic politics during the unification.In today＇s China, the correct attitude towards culture is to preserve the excellent cultural heritage of ancient China, absorb modern western culture and keep pace with the time.Only in this way can China be built into a modern country, and can the Chinese culture flourish.
