文化交往中的公理问题

任何一个文化理念的产生,都必然有一个背后的文化支撑,体现了一种集体性思考,并在历史的积淀中,以稳固的具有本文化特质的思维方式,形成了一种“文化三段论”。作为其公理基础的是本文化历史形成的价值判断。但如果把这种具有本文化特征的价值判断张扬为“终极公理”,会导致文化短视与狭隘的自负,影响正常的文化沟通。因此,有必要在文化交往过程中消除这种“终极公理”,而消除它的关键在于如何选择合理可行的途径。

The Issue of Axiom in the Cultural Exchange

The creation of every cultural idea that reflects the collective thinking necessarily has the cultural support and forms a kind of "cultural syllogism" in the historical accumulation through the stable mode of thinking with original cultural character. The value judgment formed by the original culture acts as the axiom foundation of the cultural syllogism. However, if the value judgment possessing the original cultural character is exaggerated as the "last axiom" it will lead to cultural short-sight and narrow conceit and affects proper cultural communication. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the "last axiom" in the course of the cultural exchange.
