伦理本位与理性精神:中西政治哲学之价值取向

春秋时代和希腊时代分别是中国和西方文化的"轴心时代",这两个时代基本奠定了中国和西方的文化主题.这个时代中、西方的思想家对人类政治世界的思考方式不同,这究竟是历史的偶然因素造成还是必然结果还有待探讨.与中国相比,西方的政治哲学更具理性精神,而中国的政治哲学则具有强烈的伦理特征.它更多关注人世的事情.本文论述了这二者的特征,重点论述了近现代以来中国传统伦理本位的政治哲学在遇到西方充满理性精神的政治哲学的挑战时,表现出来的主动接纳意愿和强烈的求变心态,分析了这种回应失误的地方,阐述了西方政治哲学的普适价值观念应该植根于中国传统文化的土壤并关照中国的现实.
