作为方法的根据地

The Base Area as Method

竹内好一生最为关注的人物,一位是鲁迅,一位是毛泽东。他通过研究鲁迅的认识论讨论毛泽东思想,并认为中国的历史法则通过毛泽东获得了人格化的表达。竹内好从毛泽东的政治实践中提炼出“根据地哲学”这一范畴,并形象地阐释了他从《矛盾论》中解读出的关于矛盾转化的辩证法思想,从而为根据地这一物理空间赋予了动态的、发展的、开放的特征,将其转化为伸缩自如的主体性机制。在这样的视野里,根据地成为“价值转换之场”,它不需要在物理空间固守,却永远不会失掉其终极性。在价值转换的视野里,中国革命的实践才能与和平结合,“和平革命”才能获得现实性。

Takeuchi Yoshimi was most concerned about two persons in his life, one was Lu Xun, and the other was Mao Zedong. He discussed Mao Zedong Thought through his study of Lu Xun’s epistemology, and argued that the laws of history in China were personified in Mao Zedong. Takeuchi extracted the idea of“base area philosophy”from Mao Zedong’s political practice, by which he vividly explained the dialectical thought on the transformation of contradictions he had ascribed to Mao’s On Contradiction. The idea, Takeuchi argued, invested the base area as a physical space with some dynamic, developmental and open characteristics and transformed it into a flexible and subjective mechanism. In such a vision, the base area became a“field of value conversion,”which did not need to be locked in physical space, but would never lose its finality. Only through value conversion could the Chinese revolution be combined with peace, making“peaceful revolution”a reality.
