The following essay is adapted from the introduction to “Best American
Essays 2014,” which will be published this week.
It is a curious fact that the word essayist showed up in English before it
existed in French. We said it first, for some reason, by not just years but
a couple of centuries. France could invent the modern essay, but the notion
that someone might seize on the production of these fugitive-seeming pieces

[美] 安乐哲 郝大维
来源：作者赐稿
一、 在中国曾被尊为“孔子第二” 的杜威
八十二年前的最近几天，也就是一九一九年五四运动的前夜，有一个美国学者来到
中国，他就是美国实用主义的鼻祖杜威。杜威在中国停留了两年又两个月，发表了几十
次演讲，宣扬美国实用主义。我们有理由相信他的宣传可以获得成功，因为他只是一介
书生，没有炮舰相随，也不能逼迫中国人签订不平等条约。但是，令今人深感悲哀的是
：他的美好愿望在一开始就被当头泼了一盆冷水。因为，在他到达中国三天之后，席卷
全国的"五四"运动就在北京爆发。
“五四”新文化运动打着革新的旗号，一开始曾对新思想，特别是西方的思想，尤
其是那些关于社会改革的思想，敞开大门。人们对杜威的兴趣曾一度很高，因为杜威以
“民主”作为他讲学的中心议题。人们同样欢迎他试图改革中国教育制度的努力，因为
他想在这个有儒家思想传统的文明古国施行他的实用主义。
然而，短短几个月后，杜威的宣传就遭到强有力的反抗。新文化运动开始无疑是反
对儒教的，而且将杜威的思想与传统儒家思想根本对立起来。让人感到具有讽刺意味的... 阅读全帖 |
