浅谈我国的弗洛姆研究历程

上世纪80年代后期国内曾掀起一场"弗洛姆热",但国内的弗洛姆研究早已开始且至今仍在继续,其历史以"弗洛姆热"为界大致可分为三个阶段。在第一阶段弗洛姆被当作政治批判对象,其学说被认为是否定的人道主义。到了第二阶段弗洛姆成为思想的偶像,其译著大量出版,其学说仍被认定为人道主义,但研究者的自身局限却导致他们对其学说不加取舍地全盘肯定。进入第三阶段国内开始以理性反思的方法和辨证批判的态度扬弃弗洛姆的人道主义学说并取得了一些进展。但由于种种原因,我国目前对弗洛姆学说的定性仍停留在40多年前的水平而难以对其研究产生质的飞跃。

Studies on Fromm in China

A Fromm fever took place in late 1980s in China whereas our scholastic research on him began earlier and has been continuing since. The studies can be divided into three different periods of time. In the first period, Fromm's theories were identified as a negative humanitiarianism because Fromm was politically degraded as a critical target. In the second period, he was idolized as an image of thoughts, when his works were translated and published and his theories, still deemed as humanitiarianism, were fully accepted by scholars. In the third period, some improvements were obtained when Fromm's humantiarianism was sublated with an attitude of dialectual criticism and a method of rational introspection. For some reasons, however, the studies on the nature of his thoughts remains at the level over 40 years ago without a qualitative leap forward.
