摘要
作为新人文主义的大师,美国学者白璧德认为文化史发展的动力是具有“判别”功能的“想象”,他反对人们只是注重物欲,忽略精神的欲求,主张有节制的实现人的欲望;文化史研究的任务是在授予人们丰富知识的同时,培养人们的爱心,培养人们追求真善美的情怀;文化史研究的方法就是批评与实证。白璧德的文化史观经过吴宓、梅光迪影响了中国的学衡派。柳诒徵、陈登原在各自所著的《中国文化史》中,既注重精神、思想和伦理的作用,又注重研究并揭示民族文化精华和特性,同时采用批评与实证的方法,回应了新人文主义的思想,实践了白璧德的文化史研究理论。
Battitt,as a master of New Humanism,believed that the dynamics for the development of cultural history lied in the 'imagination' that posed 'distinguishing' function.He criticized that man only cared for his desire for material wealth and neglected his spiritual desire.In his view,human desires should be realized abstemiously.The task for the research of cultural history was to cultivate people's love and to arouse the human desire to seek for truth,goodness and beauty.The researching approaches for cultural history were mainly criticism and demonstration.Through Wu Mi and Mei Guangdi,Babbitt's research on cultural history was influencing the School of Academic Criterion.In The History of Chinese Culture,Liu Yizhi and Chen Dengyuan both stressed the historical roles of spirits, thoughts and,at the same time,uncovered the essence and features of the national culture.They also adopted the approaches of criticism and demonstration in response to the thoughts of New Humanism,and putting Babbitt's theory into practice.
