“文化”是一个内涵丰富而又岐义纷呈的概念。文化研究的前提性、基础性工作是从哲学生存论上对文化进行解读。在生存论的视域中 ,人类文化是在特定的生存境遇中产生的 ,它直接源自于人在应对自然环境的活动中“显”生“隐”死的生命意识和生存取向 ;文化标志着人与自然和自身既“逆”又“顺”的双重关系 ,有着“显”与“隐”的结构和功能 ,具有本体和功用双重属性。所以人类文化也具有自我矛盾的性质。人经由文化的创造而提升于动物之上 ,形成具有内在张力的有意义的生存方式 ,但同时也导致人类内部高下 ,贵贱的区分。要卓有成效地研究并解答当代的人类文化问题 ,首先要做好这一哲学的解读工作。 “Culture” is a connotation rich in connotation. The premise of cultural studies, the basic work is to interpret the culture from the philosophy of survival. In the visual field of existentialism, human culture is generated in a specific situation of existence, which is directly derived from the life consciousness and survival orientation of “revealing” the “hidden” death in the activities of dealing with the natural environment; With the dual relationship between man and nature and himself both “reverse” and “smooth”, he has the structure and function of “explicit” and “hidden”, with dual attributes of ontology and function. Therefore, human culture also has a self-contradictory nature. Through the creation of culture, people ascend to the animals and form a meaningful way of life with inherent tension, but at the same time, they also lead to the distinction between being superior and inferior. To study and answer contemporary human culture problems effectively, we must first do a good job of reading this philosophy.
