论近代社会转型时期英国王室政府公域和私域的模糊性

都铎和早期斯图亚特时期是英国近代社会转型时期。这一时期,英国王室政府性质最显著的特点就是公域和私域的模糊不清。政治方面,国王、王室与近代意义的国家,王室事务与公众事务混为一谈;经济上,王室经济与公共领域经济收支和管理并未剥离;社会方面,对社会下层的社会管理的公域性和对社会上层控制的私人依附性相互交错。弄清这一时期英国政府公域和私域的模糊性有利于我们正确认识其时英国社会的特征。

On the Indeterminacy of the British Royal Government's Public and Private Affairs

The Tudor and early Stuart Periods symbolized the turning period in modern Britain,during which appeared the indeterminacy of the British royal government's public and private affairs.Politically,king,royal family and state were lumped together,so were royal family affairs and public affairs.Economically,royal economy and public economy were not separated from each other.Socially,the public social management of the lower class and the private management of the upper class were intertwined.To clarify this indeterminacy is of great help to know more about the features of the British society in this period.
