Unit10西方文化导论
Get Started
In a way the change of the cultural and intellectual climate in this period had something to do with romanticism and cultural trend of the time. More radical modes of creation appeared, first in poetry and then spread to other forms of writing and art. They were more rebellious, more radical, more opposed to tradition and social reality and more concerned with their own forms of subjective representation. Such a changed approach moved eventually into modernism.
Get Started
Modernism was born at the turn of the 20th century and swept many countries. Many social and psychological problems found expression in cultural and literary form, thus representing the real mood and emotion of the ordinary people in the West who were torn by countless troubles arising out of the social, political and cultural contradictions and clashes.

西方文化概论2

Hence, they are often conservative in nature. They seek to maintain the status quo by replicating origins: “ So behave the sacred ancestors, so must we behave.” behave.” Myths had the advantage of creating a whole social world in which all acts had meaning. They had the disadvantage of creating static societies, of resisting innovation, and, many would say, of being false.

The 18th and 19th centuries were not only an important period for political stage, but also a period of important cultural change. A great host of forms and styles came to the fore in the scene of Western literature and art. They included romanticism, realism and naturalism. Generally realism is based on the mode of reproducing reality, while romanticism focuses on emotion and nature and ontological naturalism refers more to reality being limited to the observable world. The 18th-century Enlightenment firmly established the rational capacity of the Europeans. But by the end of the century and into the early part of the 19th century, people began to realize that man is an emotional and organic individual. Therefore, the man of reason became the new man

西方文化概述（二）

西方文化概述（二）第二节文化一、文化的涵义与特性1.文化的涵义我们创造着文化，文化也创造着我们自己。

其实文化与我们每一人个人密不可分，就在我们周围，但到底什么是文化呢？通常我们提到的文化，似乎是与文盲相对，有文化就不是文盲，文盲就意味着没有文化。

这里文化成为知书识字的代名词。

其实，文化也是随着人类的产生而产生，随着人类的发展而发展的。

有人类才有文化。

文化是人类在远古时期为了与周围环境斗争而从事的活动。

如开垦荒地、种植庄稼、钻木取火、制造工具等都具有文化意义。

这就是文化的概念。

文化是人类在原始阶段生产发展水平低下的时期就有的，甚至在无文字阶段，就已有制造石具和钻木取火的活动。

可见，从广义上说，在人类没有文字之前，已经有文化了。

文化“Culture”一词，来源于拉丁文“Cultura”，原意是耕作、培养、教育、发展、尊重的意思。

而拉丁文的“Cultura”也是由拉丁文“Cultus”演化而来的。

“Cultus”包含两种涵义：（1）“Cultus deorum（英文decorum）”，即指为敬神而耕作的意思；（2）“Cultus agori(英文agriculture)”，即指为生计而耕作的意思。

因此，“Cultus”在物质方面的涵义意味着耕作，在精神修养方面则涉及宗教崇拜。

这便是西方的文化概念最原始，最基础性的涵义。

之所以将“Culture”一词译作“文化”，这又有其中国的文化背景。

汉语中的“文”本有“文雅”、“文字”等义。

作为“文化”，其基本涵义是指“文治教化”，并因此而与“武威”相对。

汉代荀悦曾说：“宣文教以张其化，立武备以秉其威。

”类似的说法还有“文化内辑，武功外悠”等。

自近代以来，无论是西方还是中国，人们都热衷于文化问题的研讨，于是，由上述原始的文化涵义便衍生出数百种关于文化的定义来。

可以说，有多少人研究文化，就有多少个文化定义；谁要讨论文化，谁就要首先申明他对于文化概念的所指。

先看一看国外具有代表性的几种文化概念：（1）前苏联。
