“儒家自由主义”如何可能?

How Is the Confucian Liberalism Possible?

随着现代新儒家中自由主义传统的兴起和中国自由主义的保守化,儒家和自由主义的对话与融合开始受到人们的重视。"儒家自由主义"不是现成的理论,而是一种试图融合儒家和自由主义的思想倾向,其目的则是形成一种新的理论学说。关于儒家和自由主义二者融合的可能性,人们分别围绕自我观、自由和平等、宪政等问题展开了论证。这些论证角度不同、观点不一,展示了"儒家自由主义"问题的复杂性和丰富性,深化了对"儒家自由主义"的研究。但总体而言,已有的讨论并没有完成对"儒家自由主义"的理论建构,因而"儒家自由主义如何可能"仍是一个需要深入讨论的问题。

With the rise of liberalism in modern Neo-Confucianism and the conservatization of Chinese Liberalism,the conversation and integration betw een Confucianism and Liberalism have been paid more and more attention by the public.Confucian Liberalism is not a ready-made theory,but an ideological trend of integrating Confucianism and Liberalism,aiming to grow out a new theory.With respect to the possibility of integrating Confucianism and Liberalism,studies centering upon topics such as the self concept,liberty and equality,and the constitution,etc.have been made over the past few years.Discussions of the study,though from different angles and in different points of view,not only show the complexity and richness of the question＂How is the Confucian Liberalism possible？＂,but also deepen the exploration of＂Confucian Liberalism＂.Generally speaking,the theoretical construction of Confucian Liberalism has not yet been completed and the question of ＂How is the Confucian Liberalism Possible？＂needs further discussion.
