文化转型与意义重构:五四的思考

Cultural Transformation:Reflections on the May Fourth

晚清以降,伴随着中国现代化发展进程中所出现的传统意义的失落,一场蔓延全社会各阶层的意义危机悄然而生。如果说在文化转型时期,针对传统意义的失落进行价值的转换和意义的重构是这个时期重要的历史任务和文化现象,那么,对于中国新文化的建设和发展来说,如何重构新的价值和意义系统将是中国文化能否完成现代转型的关键。五四新文化运动的先驱者们围绕这一主题各抒己见,共同探寻现代化进程中的中国文化发展和价值与意义重构的路径。

From the late period of Qing Dynasty,a crisis of meaning was looming across every stratum of society with the declining of traditional meaning in the process of Chinese modernization.If the transformation of value and reconstruction of meaning was the key cultural phenomenon and historical mission in this period of cultural transformation,how to reconstruct the value and meaning system would be the turning point in accomplishing the transformation of Chinese culture.This theme was heatedly discussed by the forerunners of the May Fourth New Cultural Movement,focusing on the reconstruction methods of values and meaning in the process of Chinese culture's modernization.
