On the Scientific Nature of the Literary Theory

Literary theory is science. Science is not equivalent to the natural Science. We shouldn't take it for granted that the empirical pursuit of truth-value and norms is the so-called scientific spirit in the 18th and 19th centuries. Scientific nature is always contacted with humanity, and there isn't unearthly scientific nature. Literary theory longs for and embodies the nature of science as well as the science. Literary theory's feature lies in its conjunction with culture value judgment. We also ought to face squarely and break positivism and scientism thinking-formulary in the 18th and 19th centuries. The scientific nature of literary theory deserves a proper exploration in perspectives of affectivity and limitation. Likewise, we ought to keep alert not to fall in the culture trap of modernity and humanity in Europe or the States.
