论墨子的文化观

墨子的文化观 ,以对文化起源的功能主义解释为基础 ,强调文化应是健康和积极向上的 ,应当为民众服务、为社会服务、为现实服务。墨子认为 ,这不仅是文化建设及发展的核心与主旨 ,同时也是文化比较和判断的依据与准则。从这个意义上讲 ,墨子所探讨的 ,实际乃是优良文化的塑造和推广问题。但是 ,由于在其论述的过程里 ,本身尚有诸多矛盾及未明之处 ,因此 ,便使得墨子有关文化问题的探讨 ,显得较为抽象 ,缺乏实际的可操作性。

Mo-tse's Idea of Culture

Based on the functionalist explanation of the origin of culture, Mo-tse's idea of culture emphasizes that culture be positive and active, serving the people, the society and the reality. Mo-tse argues that this is not only the core and substance of the cultural construction and development, but also the standard for the cultural comparison and judgement. In this meaning, what Mo-tse explores is the problem of the building and popularization of excellent culture.
