寻找行政管理学中国话语建构的基石——读葛荃教授主编《中国古代行政管理思想史》

Searching the Cornerstone of Constructing Chinese Discourse in Public Administration Science:Reflection on Ancient Chinese Public Administrative Ideological History by Professor Gequan

葛荃教授主编的《中国古代行政管理思想史》是一部重要的学术著作,在关于中国古代行政管理思想专题史的研究方面,给了我们一个良好的开端。在我们致力于中国话语建构的时代,如果行政管理学这门学科希望有所作为的话,系统而深入地研究中国古代在这一领域中的经验和智慧是不可或缺的学术耕耘活动。所以,我们怀着无比欣喜的心情阅读了葛荃教授的这一著作。在经历了多年学习和引介西方公共行政学的理论之后,回过头来看中国古代的行政管理思想,强烈地感受到它有着自己独特的风格。其中,有着需要我们加以反思的教训。从中国古代行政管理思想发展的历程看,从统治行政模式向管理行政模式的转变也是完全可以在自然演进的过程中实现的。此外,在我们谋求社会治理现代化的过程中,分析中国古代在德治与法治问题上产生争论的原因以及思想局限性,也是非常必要的。

Ancient Chinese Public Administrative Ideological History by professor Gequan is an important academic work, which provided good leading structures for academic research in monographic history of Chinese ancient public administrative thoughts. In the era of focusing on the construction of Chinese discourse, it is indispensable for scholars to conduct systematic and in-depth study on the experience and wisdom of ancient China in public administration, if they want to make a difference in this field. Therefore, the reading of professor Gequan's treatise affords an unparallel excitement and joy. It is a strongly feeling for the unique style of ancient Chinese public administrative thought when you look back to study it, after years of learning and introducing the theories of western public administration. There are worthy lessons that need to be reflected on. In the process of ancient Chinese public administrative thought development, the transformation of public administrative model from the ruling mode to managerial mode is realized completely possible in the course of natural evolution. Furthermore, in the process of seeking the modernization of social governance, it is of great importance and necessity to analyze the ideological limitations and the causes of the debates between rule by law and rule by morality in ancient China.
