摘要
"天下"观念是以儒家文化为代表的中国传统文化的一个重要组成部分,也是统摄和支配包括政治在内的一切领域的核心观念。在中国传统社会,以儒生为代表的知识分子常常利用具有理想性和超越性意义的"天下"观念批判不合理的政治与社会现实;然而,当这种"天下"观念演变成为"天下主义"时,"天下"观念本身所隐含的整体主义、华夏中心主义和伦理中心主义倾向就逐渐显现出来。自秦汉统一中国以来,"天下主义"一直面临着理想与现实、政治认同与文化认同的纠缠,包含着两种解释的可能性。近代以来,在民族主义和现代性的冲击下,"天下主义"中的整体主义、华夏中心主义和伦理中心主义被逐渐剥离出来,"天下主义"为更具开放性的"世界主义"观念所取代。只有对"天下主义"的内在矛盾及其历史遭遇保持清醒的认识,才能够明确我们今天应该在何种意义上复兴以"天下"观念为代表的优秀传统文化。
The ideal of ＂Tianxia＂（天下） is such an important part of Chinese traditional culture that it becomes the core idea that can lead and dominate all the other fields including politics. In traditional society, Confucian intellectuals often use the ideal of ＂Tianxia＂ that includes ideal and transcendental dimensions to criticize unjust politics and society. However, when the ideal of ＂Tianxia＂ changes into ＂Tianxia doctrine＂, the tendencies of holism and sino-centrism implying in it will gradually arise, the ideal or ＂Tianxia＂ then may conspire with tyrannies and eventually leads to closed conservatism. Under the impact of western modern culture, the cosmopolitanism gradually take the place of ＂Tianxia doctrine＂.
