经典现代化理论的局限性及其重要启示

The Limitations and the Important Revelations of the Classical Modern Theory

经典现代化理论是不同领域、不同学科的学者关于现代化研究的理论成果的统称。它涉及五大领域,即政治学、经济学、社会学、人文心理学、制度学。它的局限性表现为:西方中心主义的意识形态偏见;一元单线的历史观;过于强调人的工具理性,忽视人的价值理性;等。认真研究经典现代化理论对我国现代化建设具有重要意义。

The Classical Modem Theory is not a single theory, but a collective theory studied by scholars of different fields and disciplines. The theory can be divided into five branches： political, economic, sociological, humanistic and psychological, and institutional ones. The limitations of this theory mainly include the West - centered ideological bias, historical view of monism, too much emphasis on instrumental rationality, disregarding value rationality, and so on. The careful study of the Classical Modem Theory will offer significant revelations for the Chinese modernization construction.
