Should Chinese Culture Be Fundamental while Western Culture Incidental? Should a Nation Take Its Politics and Education as the Foremost?——On Guo Songtao’s Views of Western Politics
-
摘要: 郭嵩焘以亲历西方的独特视角及对两千年专制体制的深刻批判，形成了自己不同于洋务派且超越同时代的“本末”观。文章通过分析郭氏出使前后西方政治观的变化，特别是从他对专制制度溯本求源的反思中，揭示其政治主张的内涵及现实意义。Abstract: Guo Songtao developed a concept that Chinese culture is fundamental while western culture is incidental through his unique observations based on his personal experiences in the West and his profound criticism on the Chinese autocratic system. This concept was considered different from that of the advocates of the westernization movements as well as to have surpassed his time. This paper aims to reveal the connotations and practical significance of Guo’s political opinions through the analysis of the change of his views on the western politics after he had been to the West as the Chinese ambassador，and more importantly， through the analysis of his reflections on the cause and effect of the feudal system.
