论康有为“智学之复兴”

On Kang Youwei's "the Renaissance of Intelligence

在传统儒家文化的仁、义、礼、智、信五大范畴中,康有为把"智"提到前所未有的地位,提出"智学复兴"的现代文化变革思想;他着眼于人,进一步将"智"推衍为人的生存境界:"识见",人只有改变自己的文化识见,才能成为现代"新民"。由此康有为开启了以国民思想改造为根基的现代文化变革的历史潮流。

Among the five major categories of the traditional Confucian culture, which include benevolence, justice, rite, intelligence and faith, Kang Youwei gave an unprecedented status to the category of the 'intelligence' and proposed 'the renaissance of the intelligence'. He focused on people and further pushed away the 'intelligence' as the existence realm of people.He emphasized the importance of the thing that people learned and fond. Only when people change their own knowledge and the thing of finding can they become 'people with new thought'. Thus, Kang Youwei opened the historical tide of the revolution of the modern culture which took the transformation of national thought as its foundation.
