中國的現代化問題,應該看作中國文化的命運問題。在世界文明一體化的潮流中,中國現代化的被動性質始終隱含着中國文化的危機訊息,正視并走出這一危機,是中國現代化成功的必由之路。但是,應該如何理解中國文化的危機呢?這一問題,上一世紀的許多思想家,曾經進行過許多的探索;在王國維的“境界”說中,也內含着對于這一問題的深刻表述。本文就王國維對這一問題的反省作一梳理,希望能有所討論。 China’s modernization should be regarded as the fate of Chinese culture. In the trend of world civilization integration, the passive nature of China’s modernization has always implied the crisis message of Chinese culture. Facing and out of this crisis is the only way for China’s modernization to succeed. However, how should we understand the crisis of Chinese culture? Many of the thinkers in the past century have conducted many explorations. The “state” of Wang Guowei also contains a profound expression of this issue . This article reviews Wang Guowei’s reflection on this issue and hopes to discuss it.
