中西语境下“两种文化”冲突的比较分析

尽管＂两种文化＂冲突是一个世界性的普遍现象,但在中西语境下却有着不同的意义特征。西方＂两种文化＂的冲突是因为＂科学主义＂的崛起,而中国并没有真正意义上的＂科学主义＂;西方＂两种文化＂的冲突是一种对等意义上的冲突,而中国尚缺乏这种平等对话的基础;西方＂两种文化＂的冲突形成了两类明显对立的身份群体,而在中国似乎并没有出现;西方＂两种文化＂的冲突是因为科学明显高于人文,而在中国仍是人文具有最高价值。

A Contrastive Study of the Conflicts between the "Two Cultures" in Chinese and Western Contexts

The conflicts between the ＂Two Cultures＂ are of great difference in meaning and characteristics in Chinese and Western contexts though they are a universal phenomenon in the world. The conflicts between the ＂Two Cultures＂ in the west arise as a result of the advance of ＂scientism＂ while there is no ＂scientism＂ of real meaning in China. The above - mentioned conflicts in the west take place among parties of equal status while in the Chinese context the basis for such an equal interaction is still of absence. The ＂Two Cultures＂ in the western context result in two social groups with opposing standings which do not emerge in China. The conflicts between the ＂Two Cultures＂ in the west occur due to the fact that science predominates over humanities while in China the latter predominates over the former.
