自由主义是西方社会的主要思潮之一,在发展过程中虽流派众多,却有着一以贯之的基本特征。梁启超作为近代中国引进自由主义思潮的先驱人物,其自由思想主要源于西方,在引进的过程中结合晚清社会语境做了一定的修正,形成了独具中国特色的自由主义思想。本文旨在通过对近代西方自由主义思想基本特征的把握,在比较视野下探究梁启超的自由主义思想,认识其在中国思想史上的重要地位作用。 Liberalism is one of the major trends of thought in western society. Although it has many genres in its development, it has a consistent basic characteristic. As a pioneer figure in the introduction of liberalism in modern China, Liang Qi-chao’s freedom thought mainly came from the West. During the introduction process, Liang Qichao made some amendments in connection with the social context of the late Qing Dynasty and formed a liberalism with Chinese characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to explore Liang Qichao’s liberalism and recognize its important role in the history of Chinese thought through the grasp of the basic characteristics of modern western liberalism.
