博士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 三民主義研究所 === 91 === Abstract The main studies of this dissertation are both “ Dr. Sun Yet-sen’s thought” and “The Change of Chinese Culture in The Twentieth Century.” The main structure of the study is to analyze Dr. Sun Yet-sen’s thought use “ the philosophy of culture” as a tool to study. And through this study the another try to build some measuring characteristics to evaluate the change of Chinese Culture in the twentieth century. With the measuring characteristics of cultural changes, the twentieth Chinese culture situation is examined. Under the effects of the situation above, according to the results, what challenges are faced and should be answered, with the rules of historical causalities. According to the main study structure, some things are found out as followings. At the part of “The cultural thoughts of Sun Yet-sen,” this study figures out the center meaning of culture should be called “the group’s value consensus” (the ideology). And from the attribute of culture, the study found that the education of the cultural changing power can be called the response of human beings’ challenges to the environment. The purpose of the cultural change is to pursuit the ideal existence of human and, cultural change will go as followings: “conflict”-“organizing”-“balance.” Different stages show one kind of model of corkscrew-up. Through comparison with the ideas of the Philosophy of Culture, this study also find out the thoughts of Dr. Sun Yet-sen own complete “cultural thought and complete viewpoints of cultural change”, too. As what’s written above, this study would offer five measuring characteristics of the change of Chinese culture: A: The cultural contact should be open and equal. B: The attitude to deal with traditional culture should be critically acceded and creatively transformed. C: The cultural adapting ability should be complex in order to maintain the culture’s self-ability of creation. D: The pursuit of ideal culture should accept the general values of humane concerns. E: The base of the “complex whole world” culture should be admitted. At the part of “The Change of Chinese Culture in The Twentieth Century,” this study finds out that the change of Chinese culture in the 20th. Century still stays in the dialectic corkscrew of Chinese and Western cultures. The change of Chinese culture after the May Fourth Movement was west-oriented. And it falls into the adversary situation to western culture itself. The fall makes the cultural differences between the Taiwan Strait. Both sides of the Taiwan Strait maintain conflicting ideas in cultural spirits, society and material, and it keeps on changing. This study examines the results of the change of the situation in today’s Chinese culture and infers both the inner and outer challenges of today’s change. At the inner side, this study infers that today’s Chinese culture faces three challenges: the combination of the tradition the modernism, the re-organization of the culture between both sides of Taiwan Strait, and the organization of Chinese and western culture. This study infers today we’re facing three challenges: globalization, the counteraction of cultural conflict and the set-up between the Nature and human beings. We try to solve the challenges in this study. Through “deconstruction,” “dialogue,” and “reconstruction,” we can get rid of the bigotry of “the positiveness of the ideology” through feeling self-culture constraints. When the ideal conversation condition comes and the dialogue rules are agreed by both dies, each culture will have consensus. According to the transition, we talk about the status of today’s cultural change in “reconstruction and offering the viewpoint of “world culture”. The viewpoint of “world culture” is a solution to the challenges of today’s Chinese culture in “deconstruction” and “dialogue.” Key Words: Dr. Sun Yet-sen’s thoughts, cultural change, The Philosophy of Culture
