文学史上的第三个时代──向总体文学发展

肯定和发展中国总体文学研究并对其方法作些理论研究是本文的主要目的。既然比较文学是当今世界文学研究中生命力最强的方法之一，那么根据一国的总体文学，即使是中国总体研究的材料所观察、所结论，也不可能说都具有普遍性。但世界上每一种文学都有自己的特点，并对总体文学做出自己的贡献，对一系列方法中表现的重要原则：内涵、特点、原则、命题、共同的美学据点等却具有重要意义。尽管其中充满着不同的理论特色，却在走上总体文学的道路上占有显著位置。

Development towards General Literature: the Third Period in the History of Literature

Today comparative literature is one of the most vigorous scientific approachs of world litera ture studies, yet observations and conclusions based on the material from the general literature of one nation, even based on that from the Chinese general literature, can't be considered as univer Sal. With its own characteristics, each literature has made its own contributions to the general lit erature and thus is important to the significant principles occurring in a series of methods, such as connotations, characteristics, principles, propositions and common aesthetic grounds. Though these principles have different national features, they have taken an important position on the way to general literature.
