变异学:探究人类文明交流互鉴的规律

人类的文学、文化、文明发展存在纵向与横向两条发展线索,这两条发展线索都具有承续性与变异性,可以说传承与变异是人类文明发展的基本规律。文学、文化、文明的传承是毋庸置疑的,但其变异也是广泛甚至必然的。人类早就认识到纵向发展的变异规律,并且有了系统的理论,然而横向变异却长期没有被学界关注,更没有被作为一种人类文明发展的规律而系统地总结出来。比较文学变异学是横向变异规律的理论总结,揭示了人类文明交流互鉴的规律,这是西方比较文学、比较文化、比较文明理论所忽略的重要问题,是对学界长期以来文明研究盲点、文明偏见的补充和纠正,是学术理论的一个重要创新,是人类文学、文化、文明发展研究的一个重大突破。

Variation Theory:Exploring the Regularity of Exchanges and Mutual Learning among Human Civilizations

In the development of human literature,cultures and civilizations,there are vertical and horizontal development clues,and both clues have continuity and variability.It can be said that inheritance and variation are the basic regularities of the development of human civilizations.There is no doubt about the inheritance of literature,cultures and civilizations,but the variation is also widespread and even inevitable.Man has recognized the regularity of variation in vertical development and has a systematic theory already.However,horizontal variation has not been paid attention to by the academic circle for a long time,and it has not been summarized systematically as a regularity of the development of human civilizations.The variation theory of comparative literature is a theory summary of the regularity of horizontal variation,reveals the regularity of the exchanges and mutual learning of human civilizations.This is an important issue ignored by the western comparative literature,comparative cultures and comparative civilizations theories,and it is a supplement and correction to the blind spots and prejudice of civilization research in the academic circle for a long time.It is an important innovation of academic theory and a major breakthrough in the research on the development of human literature,cultures and civilizations.
