大陆中青年学界在反思五四思潮。这样的反思有积极意义,只恨相见太晚。反思中,也有这样一种观点在流行:五四中西思想交汇,保守主义者与激进主义者分别师承英、法,从法国过来的激进宣传受激进主义者青睐,从英国过来的保守学理则受保守主义者欢迎。依此推理,自然就鄙薄法国,崇尚英国,似乎英国知识分子都是保守型君子,法国人多为轻浮的激进分子。五年前,我自己也是这样一种观点,并试图以这样一种认识重新梳理法国左翼传统对中国近代观念史的影响。我将这一源流称为“法国病”:好言革命,动辄起义,中国近代意识形态的血液里即有这一成分,至今尚未淘洗。 Mainland young and middle-aged scholars reflect on the May Fourth thought. Such a reflection has positive significance, only hate meeting too late. Reflections, there is also a popular view: the intersection of Chinese and Western thought in May Fourth, conservatives and activists were instrumental in English, France, radical advocacy from France favored by the activists, from the British conservative doctrine Bologists welcome. Based on this reasoning, naturally despising France, advocating Britain, it seems that the British intellectuals are conservative gentlemen, French mostly frivolous activists. Five years ago, I myself was one such point of view and tried to sort out the influence of the French left-wing tradition on the Chinese modern history of ideas with such an understanding. I refer to this source as the “French disease”: a good word of revolution, a quick uprising, and the fact that there is this element in the blood of the ideology of modern China, so far it has not yet been elucidated.
