摘要
构建和谐社会需梳理“和”与“何以致和”的基本理路,以求得“达致和谐”的现实途径。“和”作为中国传统文化的一个核心概念,强调不同方面的和睦、和顺关系,并经历了“中以致和”到“以礼致和”的演变,结果往往是大一统的“同而不和”。西方文化中的“和谐”理念,强调以差异和对立为基础的“和”,使西方文化的价值取向更多地表现为“争”,更倾向于冲突制度化达致的和谐。“构建社会主义和谐社会”是对中西方传统和谐理念的发展和扬弃。和谐社会应该是利益协调、平衡的制度化和法制化社会,因此,可以将完善契约基础上的民主法治作为构建社会主义和谐社会的基本路径。
To establish a harmonious society we must first of all clarify the ideas of “peace”and“approach that leads to peace”. Traditionally, peace has been an essential concept of the Chinese colure. It emphasizes establishment of harmonious and peaceful situations in which people from different parties maintain good terms. With the passage of time, this concept has experienced the development stages of achieving peace through the golden mean and courtesy As a result, uniform is achieved but peace is not. By contrast, the western culture emphasizes peace on the basis of differences and conflicts with the essential concept being striving to succeed within an institutional framework. “Establishing socialist harmonious society”is an attempt to develop the useful and discard the useless in both the Chinese and western traditions. In this sense, a harmonious society should be one with interests and benefits evenly distributed, systematically operated guaranteed by law. The author concludes that the basic approach to establishing harmonious society is through democracy and rule by law on the basis of perfection of contract.
