摘要
钱穆认为,历史和文化是同一的,历史文化是由经济(物质生活)、政治和精神(思想)三个层面构成,而精神的核心又是道德。钱穆进而从这三个层面对中西历史文化进行了全方位的比较,指出道德是历史文化的本体,具有终极意义。中西历史文化的不同,就在于中国是一种以道德为核心的内倾文化,而西方则是一种以物质经济为本的外倾文化。中国传统文化代表了人类历史文化发展的正途。钱穆的历史文化哲学及其中西历史文化观,既有其提出的时代合理性与现实价值。也反映了其历史局限性与民族文化本位论。
Qian Mu holds that history and culture are identical. History and culture consist of three layers: economic ( material life) , political, and spiritual (ideology) ,with ethics as the core of the spiritual layer. He then, proceeds with a comprehensive comparison on the three layers of Chinese and Western history and culture, and points out that ethics is the noumenon of history and culture, and is of ultimate significance. The difference between Chinese and Western history and culture lies in the fact that China' s is an inward orientated culture with ethics as its core, while the Western history and culture is outward orientated, with material economy as its basis. China' s traditional culture represents the main course of development of the history and culture of mankind. Qian Mu' s philosophy about history and culture and his views on Chinese and Western civilizations are reasonable to appear in time and of practical value , but it also reflects the historical limitation and departmentalism of ethnological civilization.
