略论自然思维与具体的诗学精神

在具有比较性质的文化沟通中,"自然"一词在中西文化文学中频繁出现,构成了文化话语实践中"共同的"意义单位.这种在各自文化语境中的"共同性",往往又构成了理解的起点,既决定了各自文化文学的形态,又以各自的方法创造世界和规范人在精神和实践领域的行为和话语表现.由于中国传统思维中所固守的人与自然之间的亲和力,其所成就的是一种感性具体精神,而西方则由其超念的思维模式,所成就的是摆脱或征服一切特殊性的从而在范畴中、在上帝和彼岸世界里实现自我合一的内在同一.

Nature and Poetic Spirit

In the comparative study of cultural communication, 'nature' as a word appears frequently in both the Chinese and Western cultures and literature. It constitutes the 'common' meaningful unit in the cultural discourse practice. This 'commonness', which is rooted in the particular cultural contexts, often serves as a starting point of understanding which not only determines the formation of particular culture and literature, but also authorizes the ways of world-making and the expression of the behaviors and discourse in the intellectual and the practice realm. The writer thinks that, as the Chinese traditional thinking pattern sticks firmly to the affinity between man and nature, it achieves a sort of spirit of crystallization, but on the contrary, owing to its transcendental thinking pattern, the West achieves an inner identity with the category, God and the other world, which is stripped of the outside world.
