哈贝马斯集体认同理论的发展及其对中国的意义

哈贝马斯的集体认同理论经历了三个阶段的发展。在20世纪70年代,哈贝马斯阐明了现代社会集体认同的规范内涵;在80年代的"历史学家之争"中,他进一步提出"宪法爱国主义",以代替具有危险性的民族主义;90年代,通过与社群主义的争论,他对先前的集体认同理论进行了某些调整,从而在其理论框架内包容社群主义的合理诉求。哈贝马斯的学术特点:坚持现代性规范核心,在与其他学派、观点展开争论的同时不断丰富和深化自己的理论。哈贝马斯的集体认同理论对正处于社会主义市场经济建设和政治文明建设的中国来说,有着很好的启发意义。

The Development of Habermas' Theory of Collective Identity and Its Significance to China

Three stages can be identified in the development of Habermas' theory of collective identity.In 1970s,Habermas clarified the normative connotations of the conception of modern collective identity.In 1980s,in the famous "Historians' Debate",he proposed the theory of "constitutional patriotism" to replace the dangerous nationalism.In 1990s,through the debate with the communitarians,he adjusted his early theory to accommodate the reasonable request of communitarians in the same theory.Academically,Habermas adhered to the normative core of modernity and was able to enrich his theory through debates with other schools.His theory of collective identity is absolutely useful for China,which is now on the way to the construction of socialist market economy and political civilization.
