摘　　要：考察古登堡印刷机的发明及其应用,探究印刷机对西方世界个人主义转向的推动作用。文章以印刷机问世至16世纪的历史阶段作为考察背景,通过文献研究法对史实进行考察,发现印刷机加速西方个人主义转向的进程,与文艺复兴和宗教改革这两场思想解放运动密切相关。指出印刷机发挥了作为传播媒介的工具性作用和自身的文化功能,通过对文字内容的大规模复制生产,树立了文字与知识的权威,使得对“自我”的发现和书写向更大范围内的市民阶层扩散,进而推动西方的个人主义思潮发生转向。The article examines the invention and application of the Gutenberg printing press,and explores the role of printing in promoting the turn of individualism in the Western world.The article takes the historical stage from the emergence of the printing press to the 16th century as the background for examination,examines the historical facts through the literature research method,and finds that the printing press accelerates the turn process of Western individualism,which is closely related to the two ideological liberation movements,the Renaissance and the Reformation.It is pointed out that the printing press plays an instrumental role as a medium of communication and plays its own cultural function.Through the large-scale replication and production of written contents,it establishes the authority of words and knowledge,spreading the discovery and the writing of"self"to a wider range of citizens and promoting the turn of Western individualism.
