梁啟超的憲政主義哲學
摘要
本文以梁啟超的憲政構想作為研究主題，為了回答：儒學社會是否不適於憲政？藉由分析梁啟超選擇憲政並以之作為中國未來政治道路的理由，凸顯文化背景及其憲政倡議在回答這個問題上的意義。然而，上述的問題其實是含混且語義不清的，更該問是：儒學社會為何需要憲政？在面對西學時，梁啟超首先思考的不是要保住中國傳統，抑或是全部援用西學。他很認真的考慮當時的處境，大量的吸收西方知識，並以避免造成大規模的破壞為前提，推行他政治改革的想法。許多圍繞著儒學思想與價值的論述，成為證成梁啟超憲政哲學的基礎。
關鍵詞：梁啟超、君主立憲、儒學、民權、自由
Abstract
The main discussion of this thesis is:“ Liang Qichao's thinking and argument for the Chinese constitutionalism,” in order to answer the following question, “can Confucian society be ruled by a constitutional order?” This thesis tries to illustrate the relevant cultural context of his advocacy for the Chinese constitutionalism. However, the above question is vague and ambiguous.The better one would be “why the Constitutionalism is relevant to Confucian society?” The question would be answered through the clarifying how the constitutionalism can be justified in the Chinese philosophical tradition.
Keywords:Liang Qichao, constitutional monarchy, confucianism, freedom,people's rights.
