多元和合与世界和平

Multilateral Coexistence and World Peace

西方文化以两希文明为基础,强调一,本元一定是一,不是多。中国文化则不同,中国文化认为世界的本质不是一,而是多,世界不是由一个本原分裂而成的,而是由多个元素和合而成的。文章从哲学的解构入手,从一元论与西方国际关系思想的基调、“以一驭多”:国际关系理论的问题、多元和合:中华传统文化的国际关系思想阐发等角度探讨中西方在国际关系研究中的比较,并不意在延续百年前的孰优孰劣的争端,而是围绕思想史的研究,进一步拓展当代国际关系理论的思想来源。在这一方面,文章认为,以中国传统文化为代表的非西方传统智慧一定能发挥更大的作用。

Occidental civilization was built of Greek and Hebrew origins.It was monism,not pluralism,and totally controversial to China.Chinese culture figured out that world was constituted of plural elements,instead of dividing an original one into plural ones.From the philosophical deconstruction,the paper aims to expound several keynote questions in comparation between China and Occidental world in international theory field,as monism in Occidental international theory,pluralism in Chinese text as coexistence or collaboration,and Chinese tradition originating international theory.This paper has excluded certain controversary as competition between East and West,within more interests on exploring sources of thoughts and ideas benefiting contemporary international theories.This paper claims that non-Occidental thoughts would possess more impacts on this field.
