自由是文化创新的基石

几乎人人谈论文化创新,但鲜有人反思谁是文化创新的真正主体。从主谓关系的视角看,一个个具体的个人如张三、李四等才是文化创新的真正主体。他们的主体地位体现在自由性上,即只有他们是自由的,文化创新才有可能。这有着充分的逻辑和哲学史依据。从主谓关系的视角看,自由又不是一个空洞的字眼,而是一个具有丰富内涵的可以层层展开的开放的述谓结构。另外,自由和规范是紧密相连的,一方面,自由是道德、伦理、法律等规范的基石;另一方面,每一个自由的主体又必须对自己的言行负责。

Freedom as the Foundation of Cultural Innovation

Everyone talks about cultural innovation, but very few reflect upon the subject of cultural innovation. From the perspective of subject-predicate relation, it is specific individual who is the real subject of cultural innovation. Their subject position is embodied in their freedom, that is, only when they are free, they can innovate. This idea has a sufficient logic and philosophic basis. From subject-predicate relation, freedom is not an empty word, but an open predicate structure with rich connotations. Further more, freedom is closely associated with standard. On one hand, freedom is the fundatin of such standards as morality, ethics and law; on the other hand, every free sugject must be responsible to their own behavior.
