发端于20世纪90年代中期的自由主义与新左派之争,在经历了几番你方唱罢我登场的热闹之后,已日渐归于沉寂。这固然与之后中国政经形势和学术资源的变化所导致的进一步思想分化有关。但也必须承认,当时双方的思想论争本身亦存在问题,致使一些重要的论题没有得到充分展开。例如争论双方过于注重主义之争而非问题之争,即使讨论具体的问题,也流露出重思想轻学术的倾向。此外,双方的立场也往往被化约式的处理。 The controversy between liberalism and the new left, which originated in the mid-1990s, has gradually come to a standstill after several occasions of bustling performances by you. This is certainly related to the further ideological differentiation caused by the political and economic situation in China and the changes in academic resources since then. However, we must also admit that there were problems with the ideological dispute between the two parties at that time, resulting in some important issues that were not fully developed. For example, arguing that the two sides are over-focused on the issue of struggle rather than the issue of dispute, even discussing specific issues also reveals a tendency to re-think the academic abatement. In addition, the positions of both parties are also often treated as derogatory.
