“政”与“兵”的历史辩证——《淮南子》战争观新论

Historical and Dialectical Relationship between Politics and Military——A New Study on the Concept of War in Huai Nan Zi

"政治―战争"是贯穿《淮南子》战争观的核心命题;"兵之胜败,本在于政"是其战争观的根本原则。以"道"、"义"统"政",以"政"制"兵",是《淮南子》战争观的基本思路,反映出道、儒与法等多元思想的历史融合。主张"政"、"兵"相融,对战争进行高度政治化的反思,这是《淮南子》战争观的理论特点,对先秦兵家思想有所丰富和发展。

＂politics and war＂ is the core proposition of war concept in Huai Nan Zi, whose fundamental principle is that the success and failure of war is determined by politics. The basic strategy is that politics is governed by morality and justice while military is controlled by politics, which reflects the historical fusion of Taoism, Confucianism and Legalism. This concept of war features a combination of politics and military and a reflection on the high politicization of war, which develops the thought of military school in pre-Qin Dynasties.
