金箍棒与紧箍咒:论对国家权力的监督与制约——一种对《西游记》的政治学解读

On the Supervision and Restriction of State Power:A Political Science Explanation to Pilgrimage to the West

古典文学名著神话小说《西游记》其实也是一部政治学著作。作者对人间、天上、阴曹地府三界秩序、不同宗教关系及神、仙、人、妖、鬼、怪关系的描写,对现实社会政治的批判、对不同文化间的相互交往和借鉴,特别是对权力监督与制约的隐喻,具有重大的政治学意义和现代启迪。

The famous classic literary novel Pilgrimage to the West is also a political science work. Political science significance and modern revelation can be found in its vivid description of the heaven, human world and nether world, its criticism to realistic social politics, its drawing experience of inter-cultural communication, and in its use of metaphors in power supervision and restriction.
