论康有为早期的历史进化思想

On Historical Evolutionism Advocated by Kang Youwei in His Youth

历史进化论,是康有为早期社会政治改革思想的基本支柱,也被视为康有为早期社会政治改革思想近代性或现代性的重要标志。在早期康有为看来,进化是贯穿人类迄今所认识的整个宇宙运动过程及人类历史过程的一大特性。康氏有关进化思想,受到近代西方自然科学和社会科学的直接影响;同时,康氏发掘并创造性地阐释了早期儒学中的"三统之法"、"三世之义"。康有为极力张扬进化论,在于说明和改变现实中国落后于人的局面。

Historical evolutionism is the essence of Kang Youweis opinions in his early years on sociopolitical reforms, which marks the modernity of his thoughts as well. In his youth, Kang held that evolution is an important characteristic embedded in the whole process of the cosmic movement and human history. Kang attributed his ideas directly to the modern natural and social sciences in the West, and to his exploration in and creative interpretation of some theories of early Confucianism. By advocacy of evolutionism, he was trying to reveal the backwardness of the country and to change the fact thereby.
