如何理解民族主义的意识形态属性——安德鲁·海伍德的诠释及其概念学意义

How to Understand the Ideological Attributes of Nationalism:Andrew Heywood's Interpretation and Its Conceptual Significance

民族主义在概念界定上常被视为是一种意识形态。问题恰恰在于民族主义到底是一种什么样的意识形态。对此学术界长期以来更多是"蜻蜓点水"式的一笔带过。安德鲁·海伍德很大程度上改变了这种状况,聚焦于民族主义的意识形态属性,对其进行了正面和系统的诠释。他通过"源起与流变→核心要素→主要类型→全球化时代的发展"的全面剖析,从学理上论证了民族主义是一种与诸多传统意识形态和社会形态相伴相生,但却难于独立存在的意识形态。海伍德的诠释有助于人们增进对民族主义意涵的理解,具有概念学上的学理意义。

Nationalism is often seen as an ideology by definition.The question is exactly what kind of ideology it is.For a long time in the academic circle,nationalism is often simply defined like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.Andrew Heywood greatly changed this situation and focused on the ideological attributes of nationalism and made a positive and systematic interpretation.Through the comprehensive analysis of“the origin and change→the core elements→main types→the development in the global age”,he demonstrated that nationalism is a kind of ideology accompanied by many traditional ideologies and social forms,but it is difficult to exist independently.Such interpretation enriches our understanding of nationalism,and contributes significantly to its conceptualization.
