[摘要] 林语堂身处中西文化交戎的时期,不同的文化影响和自身的生活经历,使林语堂产生了看似独特实则矛盾的女性观。林语堂的女性思想虽然超出了中国传统文化的局限,但是本质上还是没有跳出男权文化的桎梏。本文在借鉴前人研究的基础上,通过归纳、分析、综合等思维方法,对林语堂的女性观进行深入研究,希望从整体上把握林语堂女性观“矛盾”的特质和缘由,借此理解林语堂对女性解放的独特贡献,充分认识林语堂的思想、文化选择与审美趣味,获得关于女性未来发展趋向的某些启迪。

林语堂是学贯中西、著作等身的知名学者,这与他深受东方文化的浸淫和西方文化的熏陶是分不开的,在他的众多作品中,我们都可以看到这种东西兼备的特质。在西方尊重女性被认为是绅士风度的体现;而在东方,男性才是世界的主宰,女子“在家从父,出嫁从夫,夫死从子”。林语堂在小说中极力将女性塑造成为有思想有知识有能力的新时代女性,这表现了作者对女性的关爱和尊重,以及张扬男女平等、女性独立自主的现代观念,但是另一方面又不由自主地受男性本位主义思想的影响,具有相当的局限性。
