新文科自主知识体系的构建

The Construction of an Independent Knowledge System for the New Liberal Arts

知识在新一轮科技革命中的命运和中国独特社会历史实践的交叠是新文科自主知识体系构建的时代背景。新文科,是指为回应新问题,运用交叉方法进行学术研究的人文学科和社会科学。新文科自主知识体系具有完整性、结构性和简洁性。完整性是指该体系包括新文科的全部知识,并为知识创新预留借口;结构性是指其内部结构应立足近代以降形成的学科结构并不断发展新的学科;简洁性是指将复杂的信息凝练成简单的概念,以简驭繁形成有效的理论。新文科知识体系以维护人性尊严为准则,以建设人类命运共同体为指引,以构建生命共同体为使命,转换既有的学科范式,从时间和空间两个维度推动新知识的生产。

The overlap between the fate of knowledge in the new wave of science and technology and China's unique socio-historical practices is the contemporary context for constructing an independent knowledge system for the new liberal arts.The new liberal arts refers to the humanities and social sciences that apply cross-cutting approaches to scholarship in response to new issues.The independent knowledge system of new liberal arts is comprehensive,structured and simplified.Comprehension means that the system encompasses all the knowledge of the new liberal arts and makes allowance for knowledge innovation.Its internal structure should be based on the disciplinary structure formed since the modern era and continuously develop new disciplines.Simplification means condensing complex information into simple concepts that can guide the complex ones in order to form effective theories.The knowledge system of new liberal arts takes the upholding of human dignity as its principle,the building of a community of shared future for all humankind as its guideline,and the construction of a community of life as its mission,transforming the existing disciplinary paradigms and promoting the production of new knowledge in both temporal and spatial dimensions.
