How"Thought"Becomes the Inner Composition of"Literature":Reflections on the Path of Literary Thought History
There is a"correlation"between the history of thoughts and the history of literature.The proposal of"the study of modem and contemporary Chinese literature in the perspective of history of thought"is not to study literature as part of the history of thought,or to use the history of literature as a material for analyzing the history of thought.Instead,it takes"history of thought"as a research method of"history of literature".It not only focuses on the influence of thoughts on literature,but also discusses how thoughts influence literature,and in what way literature conveys and creates thoughts.Therefore,this research emphasizes the dialogue between"thoughts"and"problems"—the vision is the history of thought,while the problems are in the history of literature.The study focuses on how"thought"becomes the"inner"composition of"literature"while cleaning up and presenting the"external influence",which is also a kind of examination to transform"external influence"into"internal generation".It may open another path to the history of literature and even the history of human spirit,and restart the dialogue between history and the present.
