在既往的传统政治文化研究中,多数学者对我国古代是否存在民主性思想的精华,持否定的态度。这种见解缺乏客观全面性,也不利于我国长远的政治文明建设。20世纪我国一些学者肯认中国传统文化中具有民主性思想的精华,吕思勉、钱穆、刘师培即是典型的代表。研讨、评判、推介他们的研究成果和思想理念,是有现实意义的。 In previous studies of traditional political culture, most scholars hold a negative attitude toward the existence of the essence of democratic thought in ancient China. This lack of objective and comprehensive opinion is not conducive to the long-term political civilization in our country. In the 20th century, some scholars in our country are willing to recognize the essence of the democratic thought in Chinese traditional culture. Lu Si Mian, Qian Mu and Liu Shipei are typical representatives. It is of practical significance to discuss, judge and promote their research findings and ideas.
