The core of Professor Xiao Jiefu's theory of Early Enlightenment is: "Does China have its own Philosophical Enlightenment or Renaissance?" This question logically contains four inquiries: 1) What is the "Philosophical Enlightenment or Renaissance"? 2) Does China have its own Philosophical Enlightenment or Renaissance? 3) If it has,then what is it? 4) Why this question is proposed or what is the significance of this question? Xiao's theory of Early Enlightenment,which still has its profound and revelatory meaning today for us to explore "Cultural Modernization",is the answer to these questions in some sense.%萧萐父先生早期启蒙说的核心问题是:"中国是否曾有过自己的哲学启蒙或文艺复兴?"这一问题逻辑地蕴涵了四个层次的追问:第一,什么是"哲学启蒙或文艺复兴"?第二,中国有没有"自己的哲学启蒙或文艺复兴"?第三,如果有,它"是什么"?第四,"为什么要提出这个问题"或"这个问题有什么意义"?萧先生的启蒙论说在某种意义上就是对这些问题的回答,而他的回答对于我们思考"文化现代化"问题仍具有启示意义。
