论文化传统的断裂、延续与不同传统之间对话的可能性

文化传统在发展演变的过程中会发生断裂 ,也会不断延续。重要的是要确认和研究哪些传统断裂了 ,哪些传统延续下来并至今还在起作用 ;尤其要关注中国近代以来产生的各种新传统以及体现于民间的文化心理结构 ,这对理解当代中国社会历史进程有着重要意义。在不同民族文化交流和对话当中 ,深入特定文化所产生的语境 ,对于理解不同文化特别重要。过分强调理解中“前见”的作用 ,会造成真正的“误读”。

Break and Continuity of the Traditional Culture and Possibility of Communication between Different Traditional Cultures

Traditional culture breaks and continues in its development and evolution. It is important to ascertain and study which traditional cultures have broken and which have continued till today. Special attention must be paid to all kinds of new traditions coming into being in the modern times, which is of great significance in the understanding of the contemporary Chinese society and its evolution. In the communication of different cultures, a good understanding of the backgrounds of different cultures is extremely important.
