中国治理的现代性分析

The Research on the Modernity of China’s Governance

现代性是现代化的重要概念,对现代性的不同理解深刻影响着不同国家实现现代化的方式与道路。分析西方国家实现治理现代化的发展过程可以发现,西方的现代性理念以理性主义为核心,主张个体理性是实现西方现代化的主要推动力。但是,理性主义存在天然弊端,在实践中,个体理性至上的国家治理会侵害社会的平等性,危害社会的公共性,侵蚀民主的价值理念。合理的现代性理念应该是个体理性与社会公共性的有机结合,因而国家治理的现代性需要实现个体理性与公共理性的辩证统一。中国的国家治理现代化体现了公共理性与个体理性相统一的结构性特征,而公共理性与个体理性的辩证关系,也构成了中国治理现代化的独特逻辑。

Modernity is an important concept,different understandings of which can profoundly shape the path of modernization in different countries.Through analyzing the modernization path of western countries,the article finds that western modernity concept is based on rationalism,and thus holds rationality is the chief motivation of modernization.But rationalism has both advantages and disadvantages in itself.In practice,national governance with rationalism threatens social equality,harms social publicity,and erodes the value of democracy.A reasonable conception of modernity is to regard it as an organic integrity of rationality and publicity,so the modernity of national governance requires to form a dialectical and unified governance model of rationality and publicity.The modernity of China’s governance embodies the structural characteristics with a dialectically unified of rationality and publicity,which constitutes the unique logic of China’s governance modernization.
