中国传统政治哲学的社会历史环境分析

Analyses on the Social and Historical Circumstance of Chinese Traditional Political Philosophy

中国古代社会特定的社会历史条件 ,限定了古代思想家的思想视野和思想方式。由于中国古代的地理环境所决定 ,中国古代思想家所感受到的世界不同于希腊哲学家所感受的世界 ;中国早期国家产生的道路不同于雅典人的国家 ,商品经济的相对不发达 ,家长制家庭与村社土地制度的长期存留 ,也在很大程度上影响了中国古代思想家对于国家、权力。

The specific social and historical conditions of Chinese ancient society restricted the horizon and manner of thought of ancient thinkers. The world perceived by Chinese ancient thinkers is different from that perceived by Greece philosophers owing to the geographical environment of Chinese ancient times. The way in which Chinese early state came into being is also different from the state of Athens. Furthermore, the relative underdevelopment of commodity economy, as well as the long existence of patriarchal family and village land system also have great influences on Chinese ancient thinkers'comprehension of state, power, equality and justness.
