亨德里克·比鲁斯在他的文章《世界文学和比较文学的歌德概念》中，对歌德的名言进行了新的解读和理解：“民族文学目前意义不大，现在是世界文学时代，每个人都必须努力加速这个时代”（Eckermann 198，1827年1月31日）。根据比鲁斯的说法，这一名言在今天不应被理解为表面价值，并认为歌德的世界文学概念应该被理解为今天我们遇到的不是民族文学被世界文学取代；而是世界文学取代了民族文学。相反，它是众多欧洲和非欧洲文学的迅速繁荣以及世界文学（主要是英文翻译）的同时出现，作为同一个过程的两个方面。比鲁斯认为，对这种辩证法的理解应该是当今比较文学的主要目标之一。 Hendrik Birus，“世界文学和比较文学的歌德概念”第 2 页，共 8 页 CLCWeb：比较文学与文化 2.4 (2000)：
In his article, "The Goethean Concept of World Literature and Comparative Literature," Hendrik Birus presents a new reading and understanding of Goethe's famous dictum: "National literature does not mean much at present, it is time for the era of world literature and everybody must endeavour to accelerate this epoch" (Eckermann 198, 31 January 1827). According to Birus, this dictum is not to be taken at face value today and argues that Goethe's concept of world literature ought to be understood in the sense that today it is not the replacement of national literatures by world literature we encounter; rather, it is the rapid blossoming of a multitude of European and non-European literatures and the simultaneous emergence of a world literature -mostly in English translations -as two aspects of one and the same process. The understanding of this dialectic, Birus argues, ought to be one of the main targets of comparative literature today.
