近年来,我国思想界广泛展开了关于现代化与传统文化的关系问题的讨论。 对于传统文化与中国现代化的关系,有两种看法。一种看法,认为我国现代化进程中的困难,主要是传统文化的障碍,中国主要靠自身的力量,难以完成现代化过程。另一种看法,认为中国的传统文化恰恰是经济发展的主要因素,现代化应该以它为文化动力。这两种看法有一个共同点,就是过份看重了传统文化对现代化进程的影响,低估了新中国选择社会主义前途获得长足进步的客观事实。 In recent years, there has been a wide discussion in our intellectual circles about the relationship between modernization and traditional culture. There are two views on the relationship between traditional culture and China’s modernization. One view is that the difficulties in the process of our country’s modernization are mainly those of traditional culture. It is difficult for China to complete its modernization mainly by its own strength. Another view is that China’s traditional culture is precisely the main factor of economic development and that modernization should take it as a cultural driving force. What these two views have in common is that they over-value the influence of traditional culture on the process of modernization and underestimate the objective fact that New China has made great strides in the future of socialism.
