本文认为,中国的比较文学能否形成一个独立的学派,不在于它的量,而在于它的质,在于它有没有自己区别于法国学派、美国学派和苏联、日本、德国等国家的比较文学的理论和方法的独立体系,在于它能不能以及实际上有没有向比较文学提出自己的独立要求。在此基础上,本文作者重新分析了世界各主要的比较文学学派的实质意义及其理论和方法上的局限性,提出了自己对比较文学的定义和功能的认识,并梗概地论述了中国比较文学应有的与其它比较文学学派不同的特征。 This article argues that whether Chinese comparative literature can form an independent school, not its quantity, but its quality lies in whether it has its own distinctiveness from the French school, the American school and the comparative literature of the Soviet Union, Japan, Germany and other countries The independent system of theory and method lies in whether it can, and in fact, make its own independent claim to comparative literature. On this basis, the author re-analyzes the major meanings of the major comparative literature schools in the world and their theoretical and methodological limitations, puts forward their own understanding of the definition and function of comparative literature, and briefly discusses China’s comparison Literature should have different characteristics from other comparative literature schools.
