中国古代乌托邦叙论

On Classical Chinese Utopias

本文沿思想史的脉络,对中国古代乌托邦的发展历程进行了梳理,指出主要有基于道家人性论和社会哲学的自由—无政府乌托邦和寄托儒家入世情怀的仁政—道德理想国乌托邦这两种类型,并对古代乌托邦的社会背景、时空架构和审美特征有所辨析。

Following the history of thought,this paper traces the development of classical Chinese utopias,arguing that there are two major types of utopia,Daoist and Confucian.The former develops an anarcho-liberal narrative based on Daoist ideas of human nature and social philosophy,while the latter constructs some well-ruled,morally ideal states,expressing Confucian political passion.This paper also analyzes the social background,spatio-temporal framework and aesthetic features of the classical utopias.
