论韩非、董仲舒政治思维方式的异同

A Comparison between Han Fei's and Dong Zhongshu's Ways of Political Thinking

绝对主义是韩非政治思维方式的基本特征,他否定矛盾双方具有相互依存、相互调合的可能性,最终走向独断论。整体主义是董仲舒政治思维方式的基本特征,他认为天、地、人是有机统一的整体,强调不同社会阶层之间的相互协同调适。然而维护君权至上,则是这两种不同政治思维方式的共同旨趣。

Han Fei holds absolutism as the basic characteristic of his way of political thinking, and denies the possibility of interdependence and mutual compromise between the two contradicting sides, consequently resulting in his theory of autocracy. In contrast, Dong Zhongshu, who advocates wholism in his political thinking, believes that heaven, earth and man form an organic whole in unity, thus emphasizing reciprocal coordination between different social strata, They, however, share something in common despite their divergence of political views-they both vindicate supremacy of the monarch.
