对戊戌维新派思想家心路历程的思考——以“启蒙自我循环”为视域

A Reflection on the Thinkers’ Mental Course of the 1898 Reform Movement:an “Enlightening Self-Cycle”Perspective

“启蒙自我循环”指由呼唤启蒙到批判启蒙,由批判传统到回归传统。以此为视域审视戊戌维新派思想家,可以看出他们有同有异的心路历程,康有为、谭嗣同是“非启蒙自我循环”的代表,梁启超是“半启蒙自我循环”的代表,严复是“启蒙自我循环”的代表。他们的心路历程源于当时的中国情境和世界情境,其深层意味是对中华优秀传统文化生命力的自信,为我们今天提高对中华优秀传统文化的认同感,推进中华优秀传统文化的创造性转化和创新性发展提供了重要启示。

“Enlightening self-cycle”refers to the transition from calling for enlightenment to criticizing enlightenment,from criticizing tradition to returning to tradition.Looking at the thinkers of the 1898 Reform Movement from this perspective,we can see that they have both the same and different mental processes.Kang Youwei and Tan Sitong are the representatives of the “non-enlightening self-cycle”,Liang Qichao is of the “semi-enlighteningt self-cycle”,while Yan Fu is of the “enlightening self-cycle”.Different as they were,their mental course,however,all originated from the Chinese situation and the world situation at that time.Its deep meaning is their confidence in the vitality of the excellent Chinese traditional culture,which provides important inspiration for us to improve our sense of identity and promotes the creative transformation and innovative development of the excellent Chinese traditional culture.
