依然在路上:穿越历史大弯道的个人与社会

19世纪和20世纪是两个独具个性的百年:前者以建构"大写时代"为己任,后者则以力促这类"大写"的终结为标志。关于主体的人、知识体系、历史模型、政治意识形态的论争,构成了"大写"系列的几个主维。其中,自由的迷影随处可见,公平和正义始终是基本的追求。20世纪晚期的历史巨大弯道的成型,带动了各种末世之感、灰色幻象和生活中的阵阵逆潮,理论的回波与新潮也异常激涌。当代社会学领悟到了来自实践的邀请,"历史终结"的话语并没有阻断生活的巨流,我们"依然在路上","弯道上的中国"正以独有的方式对这个历史时刻作出积极的回应。在个人、群体、阶级、阶层趋向差异化和多元化的同时,社会对共同性的要求也在不断增强,制度创新和意义创新能够推进利益的共同性和意义的共同性。这样,越过弯道的经历将化为社会和谐的推动力。

Still on the Way:Individual and Society in the Great Historical Crankle

The 19th century and the 20th century are two special centenaries:The former undertakes the responsibility of constructing "Capitalization Era";the latter is the trying to end the era.The disputes about man as the subject,episteme system,the models of history and political ideology constitute the main dimensions of "Capitalization Era".In the era,the shadow of freedom can be seen everywhere,and equality and justice are the pursuit.The molding of the 20th century great crankle brings various feelings of ending day,gray eidolon and counter-tide of living.The theoretical echo and new tide are also thundering.The contemporary sociology realizes the importance of practice.However,the discourse of "the end of history" does not interdict the mighty current of life.We are still on the way,and China on great crankle is making positive response to this historic time.As the diversities of individual,group,class and estate are increasing,the society's request for social community are on the increase as well,and the innovation of institution and the innovation of meaning can improve the welfare and meaning of social community.In this way,the experience of traversing great crankle will give impetus to a harmonious society.
