文学社会学强调文学是一种社会的现象,文学价值的构成必须以人的审美和社会需要作为最重要的参照标准。文学价值应该社会化而且必须社会化,这是文学所无法回避,文学社会学要努力探讨的问题。文学价值社会化的成因应从两方面考查:其一,文学作品本身具有价值,也即文学所揭示的现象应反映大众的审美理想,表现社会发展前进的方向, Literary sociology emphasizes literature as a social phenomenon. The composition of literary value must take human aesthetics and social needs as the most important reference standards. The literary value should be socialized and must be socialized. This is a problem that literature can not avoid and literary sociology should make efforts to explore. The social causes of literary value should be examined from two aspects. First, literature itself has value, that is, the phenomena revealed by literature should reflect the public’s aesthetic ideal and show the direction of social development.
