“激进”与“保守”●“左派”与“右派”

“Radical" and “Conservative" or “Leftist" and “Rightist"

在现代西方的政治语境下 ,左、右派别体现了人们对“自由”与“平等”、“博爱”之间不尽相同的价值取向。尽管它们分别代表了不同阶层或集团的利益 ,但各有其存在的理由和根据 ,其相互之间的制衡是公开的、平等的、程序化的。在此情况下 ,舆论上的彼此对立常常会导致行为上的互相妥协。在当代中国的政治语境下 ,由于历史的原因 ,使得左、右派别往往被赋予正、反不同的价值判断 ,因而其存在的理由是不平等的 ,其相互之间的制衡是非程序化的。在这种情况下 ,舆论上的表面一致并不能取代现实中的矛盾。因此 ,对激进与保守、左派与右派进行深入地反思 ,进而在二者之间建立起一种平等、理性、和平的制约机制 。

In the political context of the West, leftists and rightists have different ideas of “freedom', “equality' and “caritas'. The mutual relationship between them is open, equal and in routing process. However, because of historical reasons, they are given different values and their positions are unequal in China. So this situation cannot cover the contradictions in the reality. We should give them a deep thought. It's very important to establish an equal, rational and peaceful system of control.
