A Study of Comparative Civilizations:Theoretical Thinking about Constructing New Chinese Comparative Civilizations Think Tanks

文章认为方汉文教授新著《比较文明学》体现了中国学者在文明比较方面为中国新型智库建构作出了深入的理论思考。这部著作对黑格尔、福山、哈贝马斯等西方学人的观点进行了析辩和论述,尤其批驳了黑格尔所代表的西方中心主义和福山的历史终结论,提出了基于中国传统文明思想精髓的文明理论"新辩证理性"。方汉文教授的这部著作可以说是为构建中国专业性比较文明学智库作了一定的前期理论思考。

This essay believes that Professor Fang Han-wen's new work A Study of Comparative Civilizations reflects some deep theoretical thoughts in comparative civilizations about constructing new Chinese think tanks.The work looks into the doctrines of Hegel,Francis Fukuyama and Habermas,especially the so-called west centricism and the historical ending,and presents his ' New Dilalectics' based on the ancient Chinese cultural principles.In this sense,this volume presents some preliminary theoretical thinking about constructing new Chinese comparative civilizations think tanks.
