主体性，本是针对“文革”期间人的主体地位遭到扭曲和践踏，在７０年代末８０年代初提出的哲学命题，８０年代中期运用于文艺学。“文学主体性”理论的提出和由此引起的热烈争论，也是２０世纪文艺学自身发展的结果，是新时期文艺学历史链条上既无可回避也抹杀不掉的重要一环。它标志着文艺学研究的历史超越和从客体向主体、从“外”向“内”的转折。“文学主体性”理论，一方面由于其倡导者的理论素养和哲学功底不足，另一方面由于时代历史和认识水平的局限性，因此应给以历史性的批判和总结。 Subjectivity, originally aimed at the philosophical propositions put forward by the late 1970s and early 1980s during the “Cultural Revolution”, was distorted and trampled on the main body of the human being and was applied to the study of literature and art in the mid-1980s. The proposition of the theory of “subjectivity of literature” and the heated controversy caused by it are also the result of the development of literature and art in the 20th century. It is also an important part of the history and art of literature and art that is neither avoided nor obliterated in the history of literature and art in the new era. It marks the transcendence of the study of literature and art and the transition from object to subject and from “outside” to “inner”. On the one hand, due to the lack of theoretical literacy and philosophical foundation of its advocates, on the other hand, due to the limitation of the history of the times and the level of cognition, the “literary subjectivity” theory should be criticized and summarized historically.
