事功精神:秦兴亡史的文化阐释

Feat Spirit": a Cultural Interpretation of the Vicissitude of the Qin Dynasty

本文首次揭橥事功话语在秦史中的特殊意义。文章认为 ,秦人事功精神建基于功利主义取向之上 ,凝聚了三晋法家思想精华 ,集中体现在秦历代有为君主对于创霸业帝之事功目标的恒定取向和韧性追求 ,又泛化为秦社会各阶层不同层次的事功意识。它既包容了震烁古今的政治智慧和军事韬略 ,也表现出酷烈的非道德主义倾向。事功精神高度聚合了秦全社会的理想意志 ,构成秦人执着的民族情商 ,成为支撑其崛起壮大并最终担当一统华夏伟业的文化内驱力。伴随事功精神的异化和失落 ,秦帝国蹈入二世而亡的结局。
