摘　　要：新文化运动标志着科学与民主开始在中国得到广泛接受，更为马克思主义的传播奠定了思想基础，具有鲜明的反封建性质与启蒙意义。但在近二十年的某些所谓“反思”当中，其开辟中华民族新文化前进方向的形象却受到了一定程度的颠覆。今年恰逢新文化运动一百周年，为正本清源，本刊约请相关学者以笔谈的形式，对近二十年来的某些“反思”进行再检讨。四川大学历史文化学院教授陈廷湘提出，新文化运动无疑是中国历史上百家争鸣的思想高峰之一，其意义不仅在于科学世界观的创造性应用，更在于强调人的解放与新道德的统一，因此新派人士拣择西方思想中的可用成分，与中国固有思想相结合，针对当时中国急需解决的现实问题而加以运用。The New Culture Movement marked the point when science and democracy began to take root in China,and,more importantly,laid the intellectual foundation for the spread of Marxism,so it had clear anti-feudal and enlightenment characteristics.However,some so-called "rethinking" in the last two decades has to some extent undermined the image of the New Culture Movement as promoting a progressive direction for the new culture of the Chinese nation.This year happens to be the one hundredth anniversary of the New Culture Movement.To clarify the historical record,the journal has invited scholars in the relevant fields to a dialogue in writing with a view to reexamining some of the "rethinking" of the last two decades.Professor Chen Tingxiang of the History and Culture School of Sichuan University puts forward the view that the New Culture Movement was undoubtedly one of the high points in the contention of different schools of thought in Chinese intellectual history.It is significant not only because it was a creative application of the scientific world view,but because it emphasized the union of the liberation of man and the new morality.Hence the proponents of modernization selected the useful elements of Western thought,and,combining them with intrinsic Chinese thought,applied them to some of China's most immediate and most urgent problems.In this way,the New Culture Movement was an important milestone in Chinese intellectual history.Xie Dikun,Research Fellow at the CASS Institute of Philosophy,holds that how we assess the New Culture Movement and how we understand its relation to enlightenment is both practically and theoretically significant for carrying on the tradition of the May Fourth Movement and promoting the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.The New Culture Movement created conditions for the spread of Marxism and the emergence of the New Democratic Revolution.The contradictions expressed by its major advocates in relation to the enlightenment stemmed from the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures and
