摘要
通过对中国和美国多种文明传统的分析,作者提出了世界是多元多维文明构成的这一论点,并深刻批判了一元论文明观。文明间交往和跨文明接触是常态,而文明之间的冲突则属于例外。在过去的30年里,中美两大文明之间的关系为这一观点提供了充分的证据。无论是在西方还是在东方,保守派和自由派都认为,用来评判行为和进步的文明标准只有一种。由于世界存有多种现代化模式,所以,保守派和自由派的观点暴露出严重的偏见,无助于建设一个更加美好和更为多样化的世界。
Through an analysis of multiple strands of China's and America's civilizational traditions this paper develops its argument for a world of plural and pluralist civilizations. It also offers a pointed critique of unitary views of civilization. Clashes between civilizations are the exception,intercivilizational encounters and transcivilizational engagements are the norm. The last three decades in the relations between Sinic and American civilizations offer ample evidence for this proposition. Far from building a better and more diverse world,Conservatives and Liberals in both West and East are seriously misguided in assuming that there exists one standard of civilization by which we can judge our conduct and measure our progress in a world marked by multiple modernities.
