由启蒙理性所衍生之“现代化”,自从十九世纪中叶随着西方帝国主义之军事与经济势力东渐以后,扩展至亚非社会,成为全球性的潮流。对亚洲社会而言,大体上,“现代化”乃经由社会精英(尤其知识分子)的诠释和推展而呈现。这样透过具社会正当性之象征权力持自发推动的社会革命,其特色在于制度机制的构筑,是一种由上而下的重构过程。因此,“现代化”的推进乃是一种强调战略之总体阵地战,它的特质是攻击的,以极具体系性的理路为后盾。
The “modernization” derived from the Enlightenment reason has become a global trend since the mid-nineteenth century as the military and economic forces of the Western imperialists grew eastward to Asia and Africa. To Asian society, in general, “modernization” is presented through the interpretation and promotion of social elites (especially intellectuals). In this way, the social revolution with self-propelled power through symbolic power with social legitimacy is characterized by the construction of institutional mechanisms and a top-down restructuring process. Therefore, the advance of “modernization” is a general front-line battle that emphasizes the strategy. Its characteristics are attacked and backed by a very systematic rationale.
