重访“拉斯基时代”——国外拉斯基研究的最新动向及其中国意义

A Review of the " Laski Era" :Latest Research Tendency abroad on Laski and Its Significance in China

近年来,国外学术研究一种新的动向就是拉斯基重新回到政治讨论的视野。对于国人来说,拉斯基并不陌生。但在其去世之后,拉斯基在英美学界也经历了一个从被忘却到重新发现的过程。这一过程包括四个阶段:20世纪50年代的抨击,60-70年代的单一问题和思想阶段研究,80-90年代的系统分析,90年代以来当代价值的阐发。对这一历史过程和动向的回顾,不仅有利于解决拉斯基是谁、如何定位拉斯基、如何理解拉斯基思想发展中的阶段性差异问题,而且有助于我们更好地理解国家、自由主义、社会主义等概念范畴的西方历史语境,全面把握20世纪上半叶英美马克思主义的发展,以更加科学的姿态面对当代资本主义,坚持中国特色社会主义道路。

Recently,Laski has regained attention in political research aboard.Laski was a hot research topic in China,yet lost its importance after Laski＇s death.Even in Anglo-American academic circle,research on Laski has experienced a process of fading and reviving.This process includes four stages：lash-out in the 1950s;research on single issues and thoughts from 1960 sto 1970s;systematic analysis in the1980 sand 1990s;interpretation of contemporary value since the 1990 s.Review on this historical process and trend is not only significant in figuring out issues like＂who Laski was and how to evaluate him＂and＂how to understand the differences of Laski＇s thought in different phases＂,but also helpful to understand western historical context including concepts like nation,liberalism,socialism and so on,in order to grasp the development of Anglo- American Marxism in the first half of the 20 th century,to deal with contemporary capitalism with scientific attitude,and to persevere in building socialism with Chinese characteristic.
