近代中国宪政文化诉求价值选择论纲

Views on Value Choice in Pursuit of the Modern Chinese Constitutionalism Culture

在"宪政—富强"的文化范式作用下,近代中国的宪政努力从一开始即发生了起点的位移和偏向:宪法观念尚未彻底世俗化,尚未落实到以人为中心,以维护人的尊严、保障人的自由和权利以及追求人的全面发展为目的的价值核心。在国家(公共权力)和公民(个人权利)、国家主义与自由主义何者价值优先问题上,外部压力与挑战的存在所造就的"时空挤压"效应特质,是处于宪政启蒙困境中的公共知识分子们,选择国家(主义)优先目标作为当时中国宪政文化诉求的根本价值关怀的重要原因。

Under the function of the cultural pattern of ＂wealth is noumenon, constitutionalism is instrument＂, the displacement and deflection in constitutional endeavor of modern China had taken place from starting point. The constitution ideas were not popular thoroughly yet. And it was not carried out into the core value of the individual, supporting the dignity of the individual, guaranteeing the freedoms and rights of the individual, and pursuing the overall development of the individual. Whose value was the top - priority, the nation （public power）, the citizen （personal right）, nationalism or liberalism？ The public knowledge members who were in the predicament of constitutionalism en lightenment chose the nation＇s （nationalism） value to be the top -priority because of ＂the space -time extrusion＂ characteristic that brought up by the exterior pressure and the existence of the challenges. This is also an important reason at that time to choose it as the fundamentality value thought in pursuit of the Chinese constitutionalism euhure.
