论古代中国政治文化的成因

The Formative Cause of Political Civilization in Ancient China

中国古代传统政治文化赖以滋生和成长的文化土壤 ,其显著的特征就是对人与自然、人与社会关系主体地位的倒置。它没有在原始文化向现代文化的转变中 ,把人作为主体逐渐地从原始混沌体中解放出来 ,没有把人作为个体从原始的群体中分离出来 ,而是始终将人的主体性淹没在中国文化进化路途的泥淖之中 ,一直使作为个体的人消失在群体的阴影背后。臣服型政治文化 ,作为一种文化形态已经深深浸透于国民的灵魂 ,浸透于国民灵魂深层的思维、意识、认知和情感。

The distinctive characteristic of the cultural condition on which the traditional political culture in ancient China originated and developed is the subjective inversion of relations between man and nature and between man and society. In the transition from original to modern cultures, man was not gradually liberated as subject from the original chaos, not separate as individual from original groups. Rather, the subjectivity of man had been submerged in the moss of the evolution of Chinese culture. As a form of culture, the submissive political culture had been deeply permeated with the spirit of the traditional Chinese.
