当代大陆新儒家批判

——以蒋庆、康晓光、余东海、陈明、秋风为例                           肖  强

当代大陆新儒家具有强烈的自我归属意识，他们将自己定位为儒家思想因应时代的阐发者，而非钻故纸堆式的研究者，有将理论运用于现实并指导现实的强烈诉求。蒋庆、康晓光、余东海、陈明、秋风是这个群体的代表性人物，他们的思想差异极大，却共同认为，大陆新儒家之所以区别于港台新儒家，是因为他们主张的是政治儒学，而港台新儒家主张的是心性儒学。大陆新儒家具有相似或相互可沟通的政治主张，并自办学刊，是一个相对紧密、日益壮大的民间学术群体，左右两派都有思想人物向其靠拢。那么，在当前的中国大陆思想市场中，以上大陆新儒家的主张意味着什么？他们对未来中国政治重建和道德重建能起到怎样的作用？大陆新儒家思想是否符合中国未来政治走向？他们的主张是否符合儒家的根本精神？儒家思想如何才能除旧布新，实现转换性创造？这些问题，只有在对大陆新儒家进行系统性述评、批判之后，才能作出进一步回答。

A Critique of Contemporary New Confucians in Mainland China:

   Taking Jiang Qing, Kang Xiaoguang, Yu Donghai, Chen Ming, and Yao Zhongqiu for Examples      Xiao Qiang

 Contemporary New Confucians in Mainland China have a strong sense of context and belonging. They position themselves as analysts of Confucian thought coping with new times, but not researchers buryed in ancient classics, and show strong appeal to apply Confucian theory to the reality and even guide contemporary reality. Jiang Qing, Kang Xiaoguang, Yu Donghai, Chen Ming, and Yao Zhongqiu are representative figures of the group. They differ vastly in their thoughts, yet all believe that the reason why New Confucians in Mainland China are different from New Confucians in Hong Kong and Taiwan is that the former advocate political Confucianism while the latter advocate spiritual Confucianism. Being a growing and relatively close civil academic community, New Confucians in Mainland China hold similar or communicating political propositions, and run academic journals.
