The Cross-culture Study under the “Vitamin” Analytical Pattern: A summary of Francis Hsu's overseas research

本文以许烺光在《家元——日本的真髓》中提出的文化比较“维他命”模式为参照,梳理并归纳了许烺光对中国、美国、印度文化的比较研究以及中日文化比较研究。笔者发现许烺光的“维他命”分析模式具有跨越“主客位”的优势,从而为系统地研究不同文化之间的异同提供了逻辑起点。许烺光的人类学反思作品《彻底个人主义的省思》,则主要着眼于为不同“文化之痛”提供“纠偏处方”。其海外研究的主要缺憾在于历史的局限性,以及运用“平均社会人”假设,从而忽略了人的能动性。与此同时,“维他命”的分析框架还陷入了东方式的直观主义。但总的来说,许烺光的学术胸怀与学术探索值得致力于海外研究的晚近后辈学习与参考。

The paper took the“vitamin”analytical pattern as the reference，to summarize and survey Francis Hsu's cross-culture study on China，Japan，India and America． It is found that the vitamin analytical pattern taken by Hsu could keep the balance between the“emic”and“etic”，therefore made the cross-culture study more logical． Furthermore，Hsu's works made up different prescription to cure different diseases of specific culture． However，inadequacy of Hsu's research lies in the historical localization and the hypothesis of mean social man． Despite the intuitionism of Hsu which may cause his comparative study less strict，his broad mind and endeavors still deserve admiration and following．
