文化哲学的意义:文化模式的变迁与历史发展

The Meanings of Cultural Philosophy: the Changes of Cultural Mode and Its Development

当代人类生存危机的实质是一场文化危机,正是对这种危机的深刻反省,促使了文化哲学在19世纪兴起并在20世纪兴盛。文化是哲学的基础,哲学则是文化精神的集中体现,哲学和文化的这种关系决定了:哲学未来的发展形态应该是一种文化哲学。中国正面临着史无前例的社会转型,面临着从传统的自发性的农业文化向现代的自觉性文化的转变,如果没有千百年来形成的思维方式、习俗传统、生活方式和存在样态的彻底革命,现代化是不能完成的。

At present, the essence of modern crisis for human existence is a crisis of culture. However, it is the self^examination toward the crisis that created the rise of cultural philosophy in the 19th century and its flourishing in the 20th century. Culture is the basis of philosophy, and philosophy the embodiment of culture--the relationship between them determines that the developing form of the future philosophy ought to be a cultural philosophy. China is confronting with an unprecedented social transformation and a change from traditionally spontaneous culture in agriculture to modern conscious one. If failed to conduct a complete revolution in the way of thinking, conventional customs, the way of life and the style of existence those have formed in hundreds of years, we should never accomplish our socialist modernization drive.
