试析当代新儒家的政治哲学——兼评李明辉《儒家视野下的政治思想》

作为一种政治哲学的理论建构,当代新儒家的"新外王学"的存在已经是一个理论事实,李明辉的新著《儒家视野下的政治思想》,可被看作当代新儒家的政治哲学存在和延续的又一佐证。但是,就其基本性质而言,当代新儒家的政治哲学乃是一种抽象观念的排列组合的结果,是以对"现实"的思想过滤或者将"现实"排除在其视野之外为前提和特征的。反过来,这也决定了当代新儒家的政治哲学从根本上丧失了面对"现实"的维度和内在理论能力,换言之,在"儒家与民主政治"之间的观念性嫁接和融通中,真正的政治哲学思考尚未开始。

Political Philosophy of Contemporary Neo-Confucianism: Abstract Calculation of Ideas and a Case Study of Li Minghui's Political Thinking from the Angle of Confucianism

As a theoretical construction of political philosophy, the existence of "New wai-wang (to be a king outside)Doctrine" of Neo-Confucianism is already a fact, and the work Political Thinking from the Angle of Confucianism written by Li Minghui is a new proof for it. However, the theoretical construction of contemporary Neo-Confucianist political philosophy is mainly a result of abstract calculation of ideas, and it is the characteristics and premise of the theoretical construction to put reality out of its field of vision. Conversely, the political philosophy of contemporary Neo-Confucianism has forfeited the dimension and capacity to consider social reality and actual questions; in other words, political thinking has not been started in its theoretical construction.
