文化与社会发展

文化可以在多大程度上影响经济、社会和制度的发展?文化价值观与发展具有怎样的同构关系?本文以亨廷顿和哈里森主编的《文化的重要作用》为例,比较马克斯·韦伯和安东尼·吉登斯的有关思想,阐明工具理性在我们的文化中不是过剩而是依然有待启蒙。而且我们从来就没有一个价值理性的黄金时代可以缅怀流连。故多视角深入探究文化价值观对进步和发展的影响,无论如何都是必需的。

Culture and Social Development

In what degree does culture influence the economical, social and institutive development? What is the relationship between cultural value and development? Taking Harrison and Huntington's Culture Does Matters as an example, and in the context of a comparison between Marx Web and Anthony Giddens, this paper tries to illustrate that while the technical reason is far from being surplus in today's China, there is no golden age of value for us to learn from. Hence it is necessary to explore in multi-perspectives the effects cultural value left on progress and development.
