中国传统政治话语中的国家起源及其政治伦理

中国具有悠久的政治历史,并保存了政治发展各阶段的丰富历史文献,其中就包含了自传说时代开始的关于国家与政治起源的丰富话语资料,人们由此而得以分析中国上古国家起源和形成阶段的故事叙事和理论认识,从而在历史的源头上认识和把握中华文明的独特性。中国上古时期国家的产生在理论上并不是产生于社会组织内部不可协调的冲突和矛盾,国家产生的伦理目的在理论上,并不是公正地分配和公平地解决纠纷,而是为了更加有效地巩固和利用原有社会组织,并通过加强原有社会组织领袖以道德方式以上率下的路径,实现社会组织网络的政治化,从而产生高居社会之上的国家统治机器。

The Origin of State and Its Political Ethics in Chinese Traditional Political Discourse

China has a long political history,and has preserved a wealth of historical documents in various stages of political development,including rich discourse materials on the origin of the state and politics since the legendary era.In theory,the emergence of the state in ancient China did not come from the uncoordinated conflicts and contradictions within social organizations.The ethical purpose of the state was not to distribute and solve disputes fairly,but to consolidate and make use of the original social organizations more effectively,and to strengthen the leaders of the original social organizations in a moral way,to realize the politicization of the social organization network,to produce the state ruling machine that lives above the society.
