论郑观应早期作品《救时揭要》中的中西思想交融

The Integration of Chinese and Western Thoughts in Zheng Guanying'sEarly Work Writings on the Brink of Crisis

《救时揭要》一书是郑观应第一部带有西方思想观念的作品,其中体现了郑观应企图融合西方思想与传统道德观的尝试。全书有两大叙述核心——“国际公法”与“劝善”,郑观应对国际公法观的认识是基于商人身份的,他试图将带有西方思想色彩的商人认同纳入到传统伦理观中,从而消弭两者之间的隔阂,这种逻辑上的自洽成为其后期维新思想的坚实基础。

Writings on the Brink of Crisis(Jiu Shi Jie Yao)is Zheng Guanying's first work that incorporates Western philosophical concepts,which reflects his attempt to integrate Western thought with traditional moral values.The book has two main narrative cores,"international public law"and"good beha-vior".Zheng Guanying's understanding of international public law is based on his experience as a merchant.He attempts to incorporate Western-style recognition of merchants into traditional ethical values in order to eliminate the gap between the two.This logical consistency became the solid foundation for his later reformist thinking.
