论梁实秋人性论的性质及其演变

梁实秋文学批评的核心概念是“人性论”。过去一般将这种人性论等同于“资产阶级人性论” ,而事实上 ,梁实秋的人性论是从白璧德那里来的推崇理性控制的古典人性论。在与左翼文人论战期间 ,梁实秋人性论的内涵逐渐由理性置换为情感 ,由开始否定阶级性、时代性到肯定阶级性、时代性 ,只是同时更强调人性。这显得更接近真理 ,也更接近五四文学的传统。但是梁实秋的人性论强调的是喜怒哀乐的纯粹形式 ,这就使他的人性论与动物性很难区别 ,而他要注销“人”的词汇 ,又使他自我颠覆了他的人性论

Talking about Liang Shiqiu Theory of Human Nature and its Evolution

The key concept of Liang Shiqiu literary criticism is the theory of human nature. In the past, the theory was considered to be equal to the theory of human nature of bourgeois. Virtually, Liang's theory of human nature is the classical one that centers on reason advocated by Irving Babbitt. In the debates with the Left Wing, the connotation of Liang's theory of human nature gave its way from reason to emotion gradually, from denying the natures of class, times to applauding them, while emphasizing human nature more. This seems to be closer to the truth and to the tradition of the May Fourth Movement literature too. But what Liang's theory of human nature emphasizes is the pure forms of happiness, anger, grief and joy, which make it hard to distinguish his theory of human nature from animality. And that he wants to cancel the term of people makes him subvert his theory of human nature.
