论柏拉图的退化论思想

On Plato's Thought of Devolutionism

退化论与进化论、循环论与辨证论都是人们对自然与社会的看法,但是退化论并没有引起学术界的重视,并且对退化论的起源和定义目前也没有明确的界定。对柏拉图的退化论思想进行初步研究,特别是对柏拉图政治领域内的退化论思想进行研究,目的是力图揭示退化论的本真面目,并通过对退化论起源和定义的考察,论证退化在人类探索中占有的重要位置。

Devolutionism, evolutionism, circulation theory and dialecticism are all human viewpoints toward the nature and society. But the academic world hasn＇t attached any importance to devolutionism, so up to now its origin and definition still remain to be discussed and regulated. This paper gives an elementary study of Plato＇s devolutionism,especially his devolutionism in the political field so as to reveal the essence of devolutionism, and through the study of the origin and defintion of devolutionism, expounds the important position of devolutionism in human exploration.
