近二十年中国文论的进展有目共睹 ,其弊端则一言以蔽之 ,曰缺乏有效性 ,或曰自说自话。建立有效的文论话语的关键是在学理中说话 ,接着古今中外的经典所开始的路数讲 ,而只有重建经典所提出的问题 ,我们才能进入学理。这种重建就必然已是当代的和中国式的了 ,因此 ,必须反对借“中国式”的口实避开对经典的刻苦研读 ,走捷径。值此理性与现代性一起遭受怀疑之际 ,这种倡导适度理性的学术态度庶几对矫枉过正有所补益 The progress of Chinese literary theory in the recent two decades has been well known to all people. The drawbacks can not be explained in a word. It lacks validity or is self-evident. The key to establishing an effective discourse of literary theory is to speak in his theory and then to the passages begun by the classics at all times and in all countries. Only by rebuilding the questions posed by the classics can we enter the theory. Such reconstruction must have been modern and Chinese. Therefore, we must oppose the “Chinese style” to avoid hard-working study of the canon and take shortcuts. In the midst of this suspicion of reason and modernity, such an academic attitude of advocating moderation and rationality has benefited merit.
