晚清政治思想超前发展述论

超前于社会经济的发展,是晚清政治思想的重要特点.鸦片战争以后,民族危机日见严重,传统的政治文化面对数千年来未有之变局无能为力,于是有识之士纷纷提出向西方(包括甲午后的日本)学习要求.相比较而言,政治思想的学习远比社会经济变革来得快.近代政治思想的超前发展带动了社会变革.但是,不是建立在中国近代社会发展的基础上的近代政治思想缺憾甚多,并给晚清社会的变革留下若干负面影响.

A survey of the advanced development of political thinking in the late Qing dynasty

The political thinking of the late Qing dynasty had a remarkable feature of outstripping the social economy.The Opium War saw the rise of the increasingly serious national crisis of China. Facing the immense social changes, the traditional Chinese political culture found itself in an awkward situation.As a result,the Chinese thinkers at that time proposed learning from the Western powers(including Japan) .Comparatively,the learning of Western politics took place faster than the social reform.Actually the development of modern political thinking accelerated the social reform. However, as it was not soundly based on the mature social and economic development of China,the advanced political thinking of the late Qing dynasty was deficient in many aspects, exerting therefore some negative influences on the social reform of the time.
