自由之困境与悖论——以《新民丛报》与《民报》的争论为考察对象

Predicament and Paradox of Freedom——Taking Argument between Miscellany for New Citizen and Citizen's Newspaper as Object of Study

《新民丛报》学人与《民报》学人对自由的理解和运用水平关系到中国能实现何种程度的自由。两派的理论来源相同,都用西方自由反对中国式专制,但是双方互相攻击对方误解自由之真义,特别是在个人自由与团体自由、国家自由,以及在天赋自由与法律自由上纠缠不清。

The level of understanding and using about freedom between writers of Miscellany for New Citizens and writers of Citizen's Newspaper is related to degree of freedom of Chinese people. The theoretical sources of them were same,and they were against Chinese autocracy by western freedom,but both sides attacked each other misunderstanding the meaning of freedom,especially in the problem about individual freedom and freedom of the group,freedom of the country,or natural freedom and legal freedom.
