如何看待西方所谓的“普世价值”

How to Evaluate the Western“Universal Values”

近年来,西方一些政客和中国国内某些追捧西方资产阶级价值观和基本制度的人相互呼应,为了颠覆中国社会主义根本制度和核心价值体系,把西方的民主、自由、人权说成是全人类的"普世价值"。为此,考察了"普世价值"论的美国"样本",分析了"普世价值"论在中国的喧器,介绍了国际社会对"普世价值"论的批评,指出"普世价值"不同于共同价值。共同价值是指在某一具体的历史发展阶段,主体间为满足共同的需求、实现共同的利益而达成的价值共识,是一种共识价值,由此,揭示了美国或西方推广"普世价值"的实质就是为其霸权主义行为披上合法的外衣。

In recent years,some western politicians interact with those Chinese who chase after the capitalist values and basic systems by advocating western democracy,freedom and human rights as the ＂universal values＂,an attempt to overturn the fundamental socialist system and core values of China.By looking at the US sample and its echoes in China,this paper introduces the critique of＂universal values＂in international community,and points out that shared values are essentially different from ＂universal values＂.Shared values refer to the value consensus that is reached between subjects in satisfying their common needs and interests in a specific historical period.Therefore,the＂universal values＂promoted by the US or western countries are essentially a move towards legitimizing their hegemonism.
