Research On Zhang Hao's "Dim Consciousness" And Political Democratization

Since modern times,western countries invasion force,complacent and corrupt incompetent the Qing dynasty,paid reparations,China is gradually entering the cease of national crisis.Forced into capitalism in the process of economic globalization,modern western civilization achievements also gradually entered the view of the Chinese.Which includes both guns foreign substances such as achievement,also includes the cultural achievements of democracy and freedom,and the influence of the latter is more profound,"introduces" the curtain opened.In the face of the changing from the "three thousand",enlightened gentry of the ruling class to take the lead in the Qing dynasty eyes "open"in the world,taking the pace of learning western advanced technology.Successively with "self-renewal","rich" for the purpose of the westernization movement began.However,Beiyang navy "called the first in Asia" in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 war almost completely annihilated,marked the failure of the westernization movement.Chinese people continued the process of learning from the western,from "objects"to "system",but to rely on a toothless "reform" in the end of the emperor to "reform movement of 6 gentleman" bullet in failed.In the face of profound national crisis,the Chinese people have not stopped the exploration of national independence and the rich path of the country,and the direction of learning has turned to the western culture.So the "new cultural movement",with the banner of "democracy" and "science",began.This movement promoted the thought liberation of the Chinese people,the Chinese traditional culture,especially the maintenance of authoritarian orthodoxy such Confucian culture caused a huge shock,promoted the modern Chinese enlightenment.But in the era of the overriding saving the nation from subjugation,most of the new culture movement of the promoters are radical,eastern and western cultures to hold absolutely sure or absolute negative attitude,theory of "wholesale westernization" arises at the historic moment.On "democracy",the cult of "science",the Chinese intellectuals in the new culture movement also began to think about such a question:why traditional Chinese did not develop democracy?Zhang Hao,a scholar of the Chinese political thought of Chinese politics,has been thinking deeply and productively.He put forward "dim consciousness",and thus put a failed to give full play to "dim consciousness" is the reason why traditional Chinese couldn't open the democratic ideas of a sticking point.In fact,"dim consciousness" is Zhang Hao's in-depth understanding of human nature,he set out from the positive response to the Chinese traditional open out the cause of democracy,exploration on this issue for us to provide a new perspective.Zhang Hao's so-called "dim consciousness",which is the essence of his understanding of human nature,is also a kind of human nature theory,and he started to construct the political democratization.The "dim consciousness" is the product of the deep thinking of many traditional"human theory",the combination of reality observation and the contrast between Chinese and western culture.The author thinks that "dim consciousness" is Zhang Hao's constructive contribution to the development of "human nature",but,citing "insufficient dim consciousness of the play" to explain why traditional open out democracy in China,the lack of convincing.The author of democracy originated in ancient Athens in ancient Greece and the origin of modern democracy of democratic politics in the UK agent was studied,and generalizes the theory of modern and contemporary national political democratization,found in any democracy in ancient or modern democracy,there is no reason in the so-called "dim consciousness",and even later realize the political democratization of the country,its drivers have no obvious "dim consciousness".More importantly,the "dim consciousness" lacks the meaning of modern science and the development of modern social science.Linear logical deduction from the theory of human nature through political design and modern country,the society of the concept of binary counter,the construction of traditional moral utopia in original intention may be good,but in the modern society has realized the separation of politics and morality early,between moral and utopia is not a logical to.Starting from the traditional political idea is difficult to reach the shore of the modern democracy,"insufficient dim consciousness play" to explain the traditional Chinese couldn't open the democracy must be lack of convincing.The author thinks that this is the root cause of the "dim consciousness",which has not been widely and actively responded by scholars.This proves that there is no necessary link between "dim consciousness" and political democratization.
