过去一直捍卫儒家价值观的李光耀最近宣称在信息时代儒家价值观已经过时了。这条消息是我在2001年2月3日《参考消息》第3版上看到的,如果《参考消息》报道不错,我以为这种“过时论”的观点是值得商榷的。综观古代埃及、巴比伦、印度、中国四大文明古国,前三国的古代文明都未能延续发展,惟我中华文明得以延续,历久弥新,日益发扬光大。“超百万年的文化根系,上万年的文明启步,五千年的古国,两千年的中华统一实体。这就是我国历史的基本国情”(苏秉琦教授语)。
Lee Kuan Yew, who had defended Confucian values in the past, recently claimed that Confucian values were outdated in the information age. This is what I saw on the 3rd edition of the “Reference News” on February 3, 2001, and I think this “outdated theory” is open to question if the “reference message” is reported well. Looking at the ancient civilizations of ancient Egypt, Babylon, India and China, the ancient civilizations of the three countries failed to continue their development. However, as the Chinese civilization has continued and has been renewed, it has grown in breadth. “The cultural roots of millions of years, the enlightenment of thousands of years of civilization, the ancient land of 5,000 years and the unified Chinese entity of 2,000 years.” This is the basic national condition of our country’s history.
