欧阳哲生: 胡适与司徒雷登,两个跨文化人的命运 | 大家谈研学 2025年03月13日 Image 文章来源:《史学月刊》2014年1期. 转载时有删节 John Leighton Stuart, 1876-1962.9.19 (86) Hu Shih 1891-1962.2.24 (70) 司徒雷登等基督教自由派人士为了生存不得不做出新的调整,各大教会学校、教会团体纷纷适应形势的要求,进行不同程度的改革。胡适与司徒雷登在这一问题上表现出的立场和调整,不过是这一矛盾发展到新阶段的典型表现。他们之间既对话、争论,又彼此容忍,这就为处理世俗与宗教的对话提供了新的样板,也为中美文化交流展示了取长补短、求同存异、互相适应这一新的趋向。 司徒雷登(John Leighton Stuart,1876~1962)这位出生在中国杭州的美国人,一生在华生活、工作达50年之久,以创办燕京大学和担任美国驻华大使(1946~1952)著称于世,其所创办的燕京大学规模之大、影响之深远,在中国教会大学史上恐怕无出其右。胡适(1891~1962)一生曾九度赴美国,在美留学、访问、工作达25年,其时长占据他成年一半的时间,他是美国文化、美国思想在华的宣传者和大力推广者,故我称胡适为“近世传播美国文化第一人”;同时他又是中国文化在美国的代言人,是中国利益的辩护者。司徒雷登与胡适都在1962年告别人世,他们的辞世宣告了一个时代的结束——中美早期文化交流史落下帷幕。毫无疑问,这两个人物是中美文化交流史上的重量级人物,司徒雷登是美方最重要的人物,在美国与中国发生关系的前二百年,我们可能想起一系列重要历史人物的名字,如最早来华的传教士裨治文(Elijah Coleman Bridgman,1801~1861),最早在中国行医的传教士伯驾(Peter Parker,1804~1888),编撰《笔算数学》、《代数备旨》、《官话课本》的狄考文(Calvin Wilson…
