1980년대 중국 인문 논쟁 一瞥

Abstract

1980s in China, many intellectuals participated in the cultural controversy, but did not make any significance of planning for the future. The ultimate goal of thought liberation movement led by the new governing group, was to criticize the past, grasp the intent of new era and practice methods. A typical example is the ‘discussion on the Criterion of Truth’. Thought liberation movement peaked in the ‘Argument over the Alienation, Human nature, Humanism’. But this argument was far from the intention of the Chinese Communist Party. New governing group wants this argument to stay in the criticism of the past, but it spread that point to the present. Discussions on humanities after the mid-80s were conducted in fields other than achievement of natural science, the practical problem of business management and the use of macroeconomic models, and were restricted to cultural categories. Distinguish between ‘Instrumental rationality’ and ‘value rationality’ began with the ‘Cultural Fever’. The gap between them was the unavoidable choice of chinese humanics field, it's also resulted in the erosion of totality of academic debate.
