  • 从五四到六四--20世纪中国专制主义批判(第二卷第2册)

    From May 4th Movement to June 4th Tiananmen Square Incident 2-2

    从五四到六四--20世纪中国专制主义批判(第二卷第2册)相对于第一卷的已有框架,本卷提出若干新的重大理论命题,包括:1.关于近现代中国的两大历史任务。由于19世纪以来国势走衰、外敌入侵,中国不得不同时在两个方向发力,一是重建国家主权、实现民族自强、建设一个不再被人欺辱的强大民族国家,另一个是建设现代民主政治,以实现国家的政治现代化。作者以为,"两大历史任务"概念的引入,为20世纪中国专制主义研究提供了更宽广的时代视野与更具张力的思考空间,不但本卷如此,后续各卷亦如此。至今,两大历史任务间的相互缠绕,仍是我们挥之不开的主题。2.关于民国时代两次权威主义转型。这里分别指袁世凯当政时期和蒋介石当政时期,中国曾经拥有借助"权威主义"向民主转型或过渡的机会。为什么需要"权威主义"转型?涉及到对百年中国悲惨遭遇与严酷现实的深入分析,此类分析占据了本卷大量篇幅,读者自可细心领会。最后,在行文上 ...

    From May 4th Movement to June 4th Tiananmen Square Incident 3-1

    从五四到六四--20世纪中国专制主义批判(第三卷第1册)有了前两卷"理论的准备"与"历史的准备",本卷主题的展开已经获得充分的基础。从时间上看,本卷的研究从中共建党开始,跨越1949,直至1960年代初的大饥荒。在批判理论家眼中,这是中共体制的发生、形成和恶果初现期。全卷分为10章(分章顺序接上一卷)。第14、15两章,集中研究并回答"中共革命何以能成功?何以走向成功的过程也是专制因子累积的过程?""专制因子的累积"就是中共党国体制那些最核心要素的发生学过程。这两章用了大量篇幅分别从信仰、领袖、组织、宣传、大众基础5个方面分析该过程。第15章还探讨了1949国共易位的诸多国际因素。这是理解中国历史进程从"规范的特殊"到"扭曲的特殊"的关键历史节点。第16章"人民民主专政:党专制的政治构造",第17章"计划经济:党专制的经济同构体",第18章和第19章"'新社会':党专制的文化-社会载体" ...
