中国政治伦理思想史:时间、空间与“通道”

The history of Chinese political ethics thoughts:Time,space and"channel"

思想史是思想家的思想体系史,是用历史的方法来研究思想,其目的是思想本身而不是历史,以区别于史料学、考古学等,它是在社会中流动的思想连接,但它也不是社会思想史,更不像哲学史那样是观念的逻辑史,而是要照应社会历史的变化,置思想于社会发展之中。中国政治伦理思想史的时间跨度问题应该按照编年史的方法与中国思想史研究的一般方法相结合来处理,即从有完整的文字记载至当下,中国政治伦理思想史的空间"布局"限定在以汉民族为主。中国政治伦理思想史必须在政治与伦理、伦理与道德、政治的"道""势""术"、古与今、中国与西方等方面"拉通",才成其为通史。

The history of thought is the history of the thinker's ideological system.It uses historical methods to study thoughts.Its purpose is to study thought itself rather than history,which distinguishes itself from historical materials and archeology.And it is an ideological connection flowing in the society.Nevertheless,it is not a history of social thoughts,nor a logic history of ideas like that of philosophy,but rather in accordance with the changes in social history,hence putting ideas in social development.The time span of the history of Chinese political ethics thoughts should be handled in accordance with the method of chronicle and the general method of the study of Chinese thought history.That is to say,from the complete written record to the present,the spatial“layout”of the history of Chinese political ethics is limited to the Han nationality.The history of Chinese political ethics,before finally becoming the general history,must be"pulled through"in such aspects of politics and ethics,of ethics and morals,of"Tao""Shi(Authoritarian)""Shu(Conspiracy)in politics,of the ancient and modern,of China and the West.
