材料一：今日中国不变法则必亡是已……然则救之之道当何如?曰：痛除八股而大讲西学……约而论之，西洋今日，业无论兵、农、工、商，治无论家、国、天下，蔑（无）一事焉不资于学……公等从事西学之后，平心察理，然后知中国从来政教之少是而多非。即吾圣人之精意微言，亦必既通西学之后，以归求反观，而后有以窥其精微，而服其为不可易也。

——严复《救亡决论》（1895年）

材料二：不佞垂老，亲见七年之民国与欧罗巴四年亘古未有之血战，觉彼族三百年之进化，只做到“利己杀人，寡廉鲜耻”八个字。回观孔孟之道，真量同天地，泽被寰区。

——严复《与熊纯如书》（1918年）

材料三：就世界观和基本的价值观而言，严复是一个西方文明的十足的崇拜者：这导致他对中国的传统进行无情的批判……笼统地把当时全部儒家学派都视为思想的废物而不屑一顾……医治中国的弊病只能利用西方的思想和价值观。

——（美）费正清等编《剑桥中国晚清史》
