马修·阿诺德在《文化与无政府状态》中阐述了关于社会发展的平衡观,他提倡人们在追求物质的同时重视文化的作用;既充分发挥希伯来精神中“行”的作用,又能使希腊精神中的“知”得到应有的关注,在个人发展和整体发展中寻求平衡点,实现由普通自我向优秀自我的转变。 Matthew Arnold elaborated the concept of balance in social development in “Culture and Anarchy”. He advocated that people should attach importance to the role of culture while pursuing materiality. They should not only give full play to the “line” function in the Hebrew spirit , But also give due attention to “knowledge ” in the Greek spirit, seek a balance between personal development and overall development, and achieve the transition from ordinary self to excellent self.
