由此及彼:钱穆的立国论与宋学观

From Here to There:Qian Mu’s Theory of State and View of Song Learning

钱穆以比较文明而致思现代中国。他所提出的安顿现代的中国方案,根柢于史学研究。钱氏以社会本位的立国论通观全史,实质是注重历史文化承续的文化-立国论,这对历史政治学的展开与政治思想史的重估均有启发。在立国论视野中,钱氏宋学观彰显文教维度,《朱子新学案》更提示了朱子学之文教-国家理念的线索。在近代文化保守主义谱系中,无论立国论抑或宋学观,钱穆与港台新儒家之间均有深刻歧异。

Qian Mu thinks about modern China with the comparison of civilizations.His Chinese approach of settling modernity is rooted in historical research.Qian’s general view of history,which is based on the social-based theory of State,is essentially a culture-state theory that focuses on the continuation of history and culture,which can inspire the development of historical politics and the reassessment of the history of political thought.From the perspective of state-building,Qian’s view of Song Learning highlights the cultural and educational dimension,and Zhu Zi Xin Xue An even hints at the clues of Zhu Zi’s concept of Culture and Education-State.In the pedigree of modern cultural conservatism,there are profound differences between Qian Mu and the new Confucians in Hong Kong and Taiwan regarding the theory of State and the view of Song Learning.
