民初国会对孔教的争论及其思考

民初国会对孔教的争论，是中西文化冲突在政治层面上的反映。主张孔教者希望将孔教载入宪法，体现在立国精神中，将民族文化精神与宪政结合起来，忽视了与共和政体对立的因素，在客观上阻碍了宪政的顺利进行；而反对孔教者，则看到了传统与宪政间的对立，加剧了民族文化认同危机，二者均存不足。

A Debate on Confucianism in the Parliament at the Beginning of the Republic of China

The debate on Confucianism in the parliament at the beginning of the Republic of China reflected the conflict between Chinese and Western culture. The advocates of Confucianism maintained that Confucianism should be written down in the constitution and ought to be embodied in the spirit of founding a state. They combined national cultural spirit with constitutional government, but they ignored the counter factors to republic government in Confucianism, which impeded objectively the successful implementation of constitutional government. The opponents realized the contradiction of tradition and constitutional govemment, which intensified the crisis of national identity of culture. Both arguments are not perfect.
