"may Fourth Generation Of Intellectuals Concept Study

Many studies are focusing on the intellectuals of May Fourth Movement, while few on the intellectual-opinion of the intellectuals of May Fourth Movement. This paper is on the intellectual-opinion of Luxun, Hushi and Guomoruo.What is intellectual? It is a problem. The intellectual is defined as a man who is engaged both in academic study and in public affair. If he only study in his study room, he is a scholar, If he only devote himself in public affair, he is an activist. academic study and public affair should not affect each other.Based on this intellectual theory, we review traditional intellectual-opinion and modem intellectual-opinion. The traditional intellectual is described as a value guard, a social critic and a moral model, and the modem intellectual is described as a nationalist, an activist and an individualist.After hackling the intellectual-opinion in ancient and modem China, I study the intellectual-opinion of Luxun, Hushi and Guomoruo from four aspects which include go out and stay at study room, intellectual and politics, academic activity and politics and writing and politics.On the relationship of go out and stay at study room. Studying in ivory tower and paying no attention to the public affair are considered as an intellectual's métier. go out? stay at study room? Luxun, Hushi and Guomoruo advocate the intellectual to go out their study decidedly and to take party in the social activity effusively.On the relationship of intellectual and politics. To Luxu, the intellectual should be a warrior who always opposes, negates and refuses the polities power. To Hushi, the intellectual should be an adviser who always provides some useful, constructive advises for politics power. To Guomoruo, the intellectual should be a fighter who always obeys by the party's order and fights for the interest of the Communist Party of China.On the relationship of the academic activity and politics. To Luxun and Hushi, the academic activity and politics conflict each other, so they can not tackle these two tasks well. Luxun think the intellectual should take party in the public affair firstly, while Hushi think the intellectual should pay attention to his academic study firstly. To Guomoruo, He coincides the two conflict elements, because he takes the academic activity as a powerful weapon in the revolution struggle.On the relationship of the writing and politics. Facing new conflict of literary which emphasizes art value and critics article which emphasizes social value, Luxun and Guomoruo agree on the utilitarianism of the writing, the difference between Luxun and Guomoruo is whether he obeys by the willing of himself or willing of the party while writing. Hushi who wants to use his writing to affect the society faces the conflicts of the article's direct method and indirect method, rapid pace and slow pace, fundamental effect and subordinate effect. In the end, He consides an intellectual should work both on the thought writing and on the politics writing.Through analysis and compare of the intellectual-opinion of Luxun, Hushi and Goomoruo, we try to dig out a new theory resource of intellectual and contribute to the construction of the intellectual theory study.
