融贯古今:哈维·曼斯菲尔德政治哲学理念探析

作为当代美国著名的保守主义思想家和施特劳斯主义者,哈佛大学教授哈维·曼斯菲尔德对诸多宏大的政治哲学论题及经典政治思想家皆有深入探究,并在此基础上构筑了一套学理宏富、脉络清晰的政治哲学体系。曼斯菲尔德的政治哲学理念有如下三个方面的支点:政治哲学家列奥·施特劳斯的引导;悠远的西方政治哲学传统的熏陶;美国自身独特政治文化传统的启发。曼斯菲尔德认为,政治哲学有其独特的意蕴和价值,既应当关注"自然正当"这样的超验性命题,具有鲜明的古典导向,同时须兼顾对政治实践的引领与匡扶,二者和谐共存,义理与制度并重。在这种政治哲学理念的引领下,曼斯菲尔德尝试对如下问题给出自己的解答:政治哲学的基本命题和意蕴;政治哲学对当下社会的经世致用价值;当代西方政治科学研究所面临的困境以及可选择的解决方案。

Study on the Evolution of the Contemporary Political Values in China and the United States and the Enlightenment

Also, the inappropriate composition in the political values should be rethought and criticized profoundly, so that not only the political values of Chinese people can give a reflection to the superiority of socialism, and also people＇s personality and vitality are fully respected and developed.
