摘要/Abstract

内容摘要： 文学之力出自对人类心智与记忆的培养。词源上看,心智与记忆实为同一,而心智本性脆弱,完善的道德心智需多渠道才智历练。在中世纪,心智培养强调融入群体生活对于性格培养的重要意义,以及研读文学形成高尚的生活准则。到了约翰•洛克时代,心智的内涵扩展到理解力、理性以及才智三个方面。至此心智培育既成为文化的基本内涵,又是文化的重要旨归。在英国文化观念流变史的各个阶段,心智培养概念有不同侧重,早期强调积累个人处世智慧,后来转换到寻找知识智慧,贯穿其中的强烈文化冲动是追求心灵智慧的达成,是对国家和人类文明前景的深刻关怀。处世智慧、知识智慧和心灵智慧恰如三足鼎立,它们的全面发展构成英国历史上心智培育的完整要义。

Abstract: The power of literature lies in the cultivation of the mind and memory. Etymologically, the word mind is derived from gemynd (memory), which implies that mind is weak and feeble in nature. The cultivation of the moral power of the mind entails various means of intellectual training. In the Middle Ages, a great emphasis is laid on the significance of community life in the formation of character, and on the study of literature in the observation of the conduct. In the era of John Locke, the connotations of mind are extended including the faculties of apprehension and reason, or intellect. The implication of cultivation of the mind is shifted to the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom for the nourishment of the mind. That's how the cultivation of the mind becomes the basic connotation and the ultimate aim of culture. During the different stages of British society, the implication of the cultivation of mind varies. The emphasis on the worldly wisdom at the early stage is shifted to the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom in later period. Nevertheless, The combination of worldly wisdom, knowledge and spiritual wisdom makes up the whole meaning of the cultivation of mind.

Key words: mind, cultivation, wisdom, culture
