East-West Cultural Debate

Japanese: 東西文化論争 - とうざいぶんかろんそう(英語表記)Dōng xī wén huà lùn zhēng
East-West Cultural Debate
Anti-Western sentiment in China from 1920 to 1922. Since 1915, the May Fourth New Cultural Movement had been a movement to actively introduce Western scientism and material civilization under the slogan "Democracy and Science." In response to this, witnessing the extent of the scars from World War I and hearing about the "decline of the West" in Europe, traditionalists who opposed Hu Shih's theory of "total Westernization" raised voices calling for the elimination of Western culture's emphasis on material things and a reexamination of Eastern spiritual culture.

Japanese:
1920‐22年,中国でみられた反西洋主義の主張。1915年以来,五・四新文化運動では〈民主と科学〉を標語として西洋の科学主義と物質文明を積極的に導入しようという動きがおこった。それに対して,第1次大戦の傷跡の大きさを目撃,ヨーロッパでも〈西洋の没落〉が論じられだしたことをうけて,西洋文化の物質偏重を排し東洋の精神文化を見直そうという声が,胡適らの〈全面的西洋化〉論に反発する伝統主義者のなかからあがった。
