进入新世纪,随着后现代思想的持续推动,文学是否具有本质,以及具有怎样的本质逐渐成为一个问题,吸引着众多文论研究者的注意。然而在这场讨论中,无论人们所持怎样的观点,本质的还是反本质的,他们在基本学理观点上没有本质性差异,所持观点的不同很大程度上是立场的不同。这场讨论显示,对文学本质等一些文学理论问题的思考,不能脱离社会语境的变化,同时,理论思考的宝贵成果也将推动整个社会的思想进步。 In the new century, with the continuous promotion of postmodernism, whether literature has its essence and what kind of essence has gradually become a problem attracts the attention of many researchers of literary theory. However, in this discussion, no matter what kind of viewpoint people hold, they are essentially anti-essential. They have no essential differences in their basic academic and academic views. The differences in opinions they hold are largely differences in positions. This discussion shows that the thinking on some literary theory issues such as the nature of literature can not be separated from the social context. At the same time, valuable achievements in theoretical thinking will also promote the ideological progress of the entire society.
