释“文学是人学”

"文学是人学",这个命题自高尔基以来不时地为人们所提起,虽然过去偶有几位学者作过一些论说,但由于特殊的历史原因,学界对此所引起的注意力还远为不够。我们需要思索的问题还很多,比如到底人学是什么,文学是什么,文学与人学究竟是什么关系,"文学是人学"这个命题的意蕴是什么,其对于认识"文学"之现象与本质可提供什么样的启示,等等,显然都是一些意味深长的文学理论话题。

Explanation of "Literature is the Study of Man"

"Literature is the Study of Man",a proposition,which has been referred to since Maksim Gorki.Some scholars occasionally discussed on it,but due to special historic reasons,the focus by academic circle is far from being sufficient.There are many issues for us to consider,such as "what the study of Man is","what literature is","what can the relation between literature and the study of Man be",what the connotation of "Literature is the Study of Man" is there, and what revelation it can offer for the cognition of the phenomena and essence of "literature",etc.Obviously,these are some meaningful topics for literature theories.
