先秦文化自觉的背景解读

文化总是与历史发展的一定阶段和具体的社会经济形态相联系。在对文化自觉的内涵进行解释的基础上，从先秦社会生产力与生产关系、天道观的变化以及礼乐文化的崩坏而导致的文化危机的角度，阐述了先秦文化自觉产生的历史动因。混乱的社会现实促使人们对自己所处的宇宙本质产生了一种理性的认识，先秦社会知识阶层中出现了“哲学的突破”，由此中国古代的社会思想也开始了“去神秘化”的过程。

The ＂philosophy breakthrough＂ emerged among social intellectuals in pre-Qin period. Therefore, Chinese ancient social thoughts also started the ＂secular＂ process.
