陈思和先生的新著《从广场到岗位》既是其学术生涯与知识分子精神史自述，同时也给我们提供了一种重新回顾新时期以来文学的历史发展脉络与知识构造的视野。在书中，陈思和将论述的起点设置于 1993 年的人文精神讨论，然后向前追溯至近现代以及更遥远的历史来思考知识分子的传统与岗位意识，通过不断的自我剖析与对话，最终将思考投入对当代文学与生活的关照。陈思和先生始终自觉坚守在文学批评与文学研究的岗位上，与此同时，这种对于岗位意识的持守，又始终在更为广阔的人文学科乃至时代中发挥其作用。时代在变化，文学等人文学科也需要相应进行调整并给予回应，从具有岗位意识的学术研究到具有公共聚焦的人文关怀，都对知识分子提出了新要求。理解历史与知识思想，是为了更好地与当下的时代生活、学术研究进行对话。基于此，本期以陈思和先生这本新著为讨论契机，特邀王晓明、王鸿生、陈昶、吴天舟四位学者撰文，并对陈思和先生进行访谈，将讨论的话题延展开去，试图将视野进一步打开，激发历史与当下、学术研究与现实生活之间对话的活力，进而推动“人文知识思想再出发”。

Mr. Chen Sihe’s new book “From the Square to the Post” not only narrates his own academic career and intellectual spiritual history, but also provides us with a perspective to re-examine the historical development and knowledge structure of literature since the new era. In the book, Chen Sihe sets the starting point of his discourse on the timeline of the discussion of humanistic spirit in 1993, and then traces back to modern and more distant historical traditions to reflect on the tradition and job consciousness of intellectuals. Through continuous self analysis and dialogue, he ultimately puts his thoughts into the care of contemporary literature and life. It can be seen that he has always consciously adhered to the position of literary criticism and literary research. At the same time, this adherence to the position consciousness has always played its role in a broader humanities discipline and even in the era. The times are changing, and humanities disciplines such as literature also need to be adjusted and responded to accordingly. This has put forward new requirements for intellectuals, from academic research with job awareness to humanistic care with public focus. Understanding history and knowledge and ideas is to better engage in dialogue with contemporary life and academic research. Based on this, this issue takes Chen Sihe’s new book as an opportunity for discussion, and invites four scholars, Wang Xiaoming, Wang Hongsheng, Chen Chang and Wu Tianzhou, to write articles and conduct interviews with Chen Sihe, expanding the topic of discussion and attempting to further broaden horizons, stimulate the vitality of dialogue between history and the present, academic research and real life, and promote the “restarting of humanistic knowledge and thought”.
