“世界历史”理论中的“和合”意蕴

Connotation of Harmony in World History Theory

中国的"和合"文化主张世界是多样性的统一,具有丰富的辩证思想,它决定了我国历史上对于国家统一的诉求。西方近代统一民族国家的建立,结束了西方各国内部的长期分裂状态,黑格尔的世界历史理论是对这一历史进程的思辩表达,它与中国文化中的"和合"观念有很多暗合之处。在批判继承黑格尔历史辩证法的基础上,马克思形成了自己的世界历史理论,它与中国文化中的"和合"思想一起构成了我们构建和谐世界的理论渊源。揭示西方文化中的"世界历史"理论与我国文化中的"和合"思想的内在关联,能为我们正确处理各种现实问题提供一个新的价值参考。

Chinese harmony culture advocates the world is a unity in variety with rich dialectic thoughts which determines the aspirations to the national unification in Chinese history. The establishment of modern western nation-state ended the long-term splitting in the internal state of the western countries. Hegel＇s world history theory is the speculative expression of this historical process, which has many similarities with that of Chinese harmony culture. On the basis of critical inheritance of Hegel＇s historical dialectics, Marx formed his own world history theory which, combined with the harmony thought in Chinese culture, constitutes the theoretical origins to build a harmonious world. It can provide new reference for us to handle properly the variety of practical problems to reveal the intrinsic association of the world history theory in western culture and the harmony thought in Chinese culture.
