文化基础的哲学反思（英文）

Philosophical Reflections on the Foundations of Culture

基于哲学人类学,本文提出,文化是人在劳动中创造的。在文化形成的过程中,在人自身经历自我转变的过程中,人也改变了从往昔所继承的遗产。人类所创造的文化创造了人类自己,这种文化受到人类对自身定位的影响。通过对文化是什么、文化如何发展的探讨,对人与劳动的概念的反思,以及对重视人性的未来主流文化的讨论,上述观点得到证明。本文的论述起始于《时代周刊》中乔尔·斯特恩以及乔斯·桑布恩的文章对孤芳自赏、聪明绝顶、严肃认真以及乐观向上的“新的伟大一代”的阐述,同时还借用了卡尔·沃特拉所提出的人、教育和社区的概念。

Using philosophical anthropology, this paper puts forward thecase that culture is created by man through his work. In the process of cultureformation, he transforms what he inherited from the past as a legacy for thefuture while he himself simultaneously undergoes self-transformation. Theculture he creates and that has created him is influenced by the understanding ofwho and what he is. The claim is proven through a discussion on what culture isand how it develops, followed by a reflection on the notion of person andwork, and, lastly, a discussion on the future of mainstream culture emphasizingthe importance of the humanities in preparing this future.The paper spins offfrom Joel Stein and Josh Sanburn＇s article in Time magazine about “ the newgreatest generation ” -the narcissistic, net savvy, earnest, and optimisticmillennials. I will also rely on Karol Wojtyla＇s notion of the person, education,and community.
