摘要: 吴宓是学衡派的领军人物,贯穿吴宓一生文化思想的是他对传统伦理精神的坚守与弘扬。吴宓认为,政治的根本在于道德,欲救世救国,就必须重塑中国文化传统中具有永恒价值的人伦精神和理想人格,“以人格而升国格”,才能使灾难深重的中华民族得以“重建民族的自尊”。吴宓的伦理思想,以儒家思想为本土资源,又得益于白璧德新人文主义和柏拉图哲学思想,从而使其伦理思想有了浓郁的文化保守主义色彩,有了我们可以把握的基本脉络。Abstract: Wu Mi was the leading character of Chinese Xueheng School,whose thought was on his persisting and developing the Chinese traditional ethnical ideas through all his life.He thought politics should be rooted on the moral.In order to save our nation,we should reconstruct the eternal human value and ideal personalities in Chinese traditional culture,that is,from personalities to nationalities.Only in this way could make the catastrophic Chinese people gain the self-respect of "reconstruct our own national self-esteem".Wu’s ethical thought principally originated from Chinese Confucian ideas,as well as benefited from Babbitt’s Neo-humanism and Plato’s philosophy.So that his theory was distinctly characterized by culture-conservatism.Hence,the principal skeleton of Wu’s ethnical theory can be acquired.
