论发掘中国古代文论现代意义的可能途径

中国古代文论究竟是应该放入陈列室的古董,还是有待发掘的宝藏?如果说古代文学理论依然具有现代意义,那么我们应该如何发现这种意义?我们当下的文学理论的确出现了危机:人们开始质疑其存在的合法性了。为了解决这一危机,我们必须树立重建文学理论的雄心。重建就需要新的理论资源,这就要求我们重新审视容量巨大的中国古代文论话语资源。但在真正面对中国古代文论时,我们就必然遭遇如何处理古代文论与西方文论的关系问题。于是,寻找中西文论之间的契合点就成为“重建”的前提性问题。20世纪以来渐渐形成的一种新的西方哲学传统与中国古代哲学之间的某种深刻的相通性或许可以给“中西对话”提供一种有效的视域。
