文化是以价值观为核心的生存方式——大学文化研究与实践的逻辑起点

Culture is the Way of Life:The Logical Starting-point of University Culture Research and Practice

大学文化是影响大学发展和大学凝聚力的核心因素之一。人们在生活和研究中频繁地提到文化这个概念,但对其定义却众说纷纭,莫衷一是。界定概念是开展研究和实践的逻辑起点。本文在梳理既有文化定义的基础上,结合历史唯物主义基本原理,提出'文化是以价值观为核心的生存方式'这一命题。围绕对于文化概念的理解,笔者对大学文化研究与建设提出了三点建议:抓住大学文化之本真、抓住大学文化之魂和抓住大学文化之核心。

School culture is one of the core and essential factors which affects the development and cohesion of university.Although it is used frequently in daily life and research,we do not reach an agreement about how to define the concept of culture.Based on reviewing the existing definitions of culture and considering the fundamental historical materialism,the article puts forward the proposition that culture is the life style taking value as core.At this point,the paper proposes the three suggestions about university culture research and practice;holding the true culture,holding the soul of culture,and holding the core of culture.
