摘要: 中西文学观念的再反思之必要。中国传统文论中不论在那个历史时期都坚持以“抒情”为主的文学观念,这种文学观念以表现人的个体与社会的情感为核心,属于审美论。西方文学观念,以欧洲思想为中心,从一开始就选择了“摹仿”论,“摹仿”论统治西方两千年,他们把文学看成是“知识”之一种,属于认识论。本文在揭示中西历史语境的过程中,从中国的农耕文明与西方的海洋文明的区别,中国的人文精神与西方的人文主义的区别,中国的求实精神与西方的科学精神的区别来揭示中西文化的区别如何导致文学观念的差别、文学主题的差别和文学精神的差别。 

关键词: 文学观念, 诗言志, 摹仿, 天人合一, 科学玄想

Abstract: The paper reiterates the necessity of reflecting on the differences of literary ideas between China and the West. In classical Chinese literary theory, literature prioritizes lyricalism, and the essence of this literary idea is to express the ethos of individual and the society. Literary ideas in the West centering round Europe chooses to prioritize mimesis, and a literature developed along this idea sees itself as a vehicle for knowledge. The paper attributes the differences over literary ideas, themes and literary spirit between China and the West to the differences between Chinese humanistic sprit and Western humanism, between Chinese agricultural civilization and Western oceanic civilization, and between Chinese practical-mindedness and Western scientific-mindedness.

Key words:  idea, "poetry expresses aspiration", mimesis, harmony between Heaven and human, scientific musing
