陈涌同志在《文艺学方法论问题》(《红旗》杂志一九八六年第八期)一文中,严厉评价了刘再复同志的文学研究工作,对一些重要问题提出了自己的看法。他认为,他所关注的,“不是枝节问题,也不只是个别理论问题,而是直接关系到如何对待马克思主义的基本原理的问题,是关系到社会主义文艺的命运的问题”。我赞同陈涌同志的这一表述。正因如此,我想坦率地对陈涌同志的文章作一点批评。 In his article “Methodology of Literary Theory” (“Red Flag” magazine Issue 8, 1986), Comrade Chen Yong severely appraised Comrade Liu Zai-fu’s literary research work and put forward his own views on some important issues. He believes that he is concerned that “it is not a stubborn issue, nor is it just an individual theoretical issue, but a matter that directly relates to how to treat the basic tenets of Marxism and is related to the fate of socialist literature and art.” I agree with Comrade Chen Yong’s statement. For this reason, I would like to give a frank comment on Comrade Chen Yong’s article.
