  • 被清朝统治者查禁的政治著作：明夷待访录

    by (清)黄宗羲 ...
    《明夷待访录》是明末清初启蒙思想家黄宗羲创作的政治著作，是一部具有启蒙性质的批判君主专制，呼唤民主政体的名著。对此类题材感兴趣的读者，本书值得一读。《明夷待访录》重新发掘了孟子的民本论思想，其内容具有丰富的近代代议制民主精神。黄宗羲虽然没有从根本上否定君和臣的设置，但主张君主开明立宪制，加强平等因素，扩大社会对执政者的监督权力，有近代民主政治的思想。这种思想并非受西方文明的影响，而是从中国传统文化中发展出来的，因而更加可贵。这部书受到清朝统治者的查禁，直至清末才重见天日，受到谭嗣同、梁启超等人的重视和赞许。戊戌变法时期，黄宗羲的著作对梁启超、谭嗣同乃至康有为等人影响至为深远。思想最为激进的维新派谭嗣同，对《明夷待访录》等新民本思想代表作极为推崇。清末，革命派继续对黄宗羲《明夷待访录》及其所代表的新民本思想保持浓厚的兴趣，将之视为民主革命的重要思想武器。 ...
