学术争鸣与文艺理论的发展

Academic Debate and the Development of Literary Theory

中外学术的发展一再证明,学术争鸣是学术进步的助推器,没有学术争鸣就没有理论发展的活力,也不可能有观念的澄明与思想的进步。然而由于诸多主客观因素的综合作用与影响,中国当代文艺理论研究中的学术争鸣并未很好地开展起来。要想真正在当代文艺理论研究中将学术争鸣的助推机制建立起来,把学术争鸣健康有序、有声有色地开展起来,除去客观环境和条件方面的改进与改变之外,文论研究界一定要从学理上真正认识和解决文艺理论发展不能缺少学术争鸣的道理所在,并从现实历史语境层面上充分意识到学术争鸣之于当代文论建设的必然性与必要性。更为重要的是,作为一个学术共同体的参与者与共建者,学术争鸣还应该遵循一些基本的学术原则,这主要包括学术自由原则、平等竞争原则、批评质疑原则、学术共识原则四个内在相关的方面。只要很好地践行这些学术原则,中国的文艺理论研究便会大有希望,学术争鸣也会大有成效。

Academic debate constitutes a propeller for academic progress,without which there would be no dynamic development of the theory,nor the clarification of ideas,nor progress of thoughts.This has been proved by academic development in China and around the world over and again.But academic debate in literary theory in contemporary China has not yet been fully carried out due to various subjective and objective factors.To solve this problem,in addition to improving the objective environment and conditions,the academic circle of literary theory should theoretically recognize that,academic debate is an indispensable part in the development of literary theories.It also should fully understand that,academic debate is inevitable and necessary to the construction of contemporary literary theory in China.More importantly,as a participant of and contributor to academic community,academic debate in literary theory should follow some basic principles,including academic freedom,equal competition,criticism and academic consensus.By following these principles,the prospect of literary theories in China will be hopeful and its academic debate will be fruitful.
