康有为对“三世说”的传承与发展

Kang Youwei’s Inheritance and Development of "Three Generations Theory"

清末,康有为利用"三世说"这一学术思想作为推行自己政治理念的立足点和支撑点,重新构建了"三世说"的理论内涵。他融合西方进化论、资产阶级民主政治制度、人性论,对传统的"大同、小康"加以发挥和改造,将"三世说"在空间和时间上进行拓展,张扬"三世"的政治旨归,使之具有了相当浓厚的近代意识和世界意识。"三世说"在康有为的改造和创新之下,摆脱了传统"天不变,道亦不变"思维定式的束缚。他认为历史在不断前进中发展、不可逆转,为进行根本性、全局性的变革以推翻封建君主专制、发展资产阶级民主扫除了思想障碍。康有为的"三世说"在中国思想史上具有重大意义,代表了"三世说"这一理论的最终成型。

In the late Qing Dynasty,Kang Youwei used the academic thoughts of "three generations theory" as the foothold and supporting point to promote his political ideas and reconstruct the theoretical connotation of the "three generations theory". He integrated Western evolution,bourgeois democratic political system and the theory of human nature,developed and transformed the traditional "great harmony and well-off society",expanded the "three generations theory" in the scope of space and time,publicized its political purpose,and endowed it with a strong modern consciousness and world consciousness. With Kang Youwei’s transformation and innovation,the "three generations theory" broke loose from the shackles of the traditional thinking pattern of "Heaven does not change,nor does the way." He advocated that history should develop in continuous progress and is irreversible, and he removed the ideological obstacles for carrying out fundamental and overall changes to overthrow the autocratic monarchy and develop bourgeois democracy. Kang Youwei’s "three generations theory" is of great significance in the history of Chinese ideologies,and represents the final formation of the theory of "three generations".
