可以看到,当联省问题变成民治问题时,人,还是制度:这个问题就摆上桌面。吴佩孚以人为理由来延缓制度,鲁迅以人为先而后制度,张慰慈至少也小看了制度的作用;那么,胡适呢,他的选择是制度优先,由制度而后人。这是胡适民治思想的基本思路,这一思路一直延续到1930年代“民治与独裁”的思想论战,也一直延续到我们能否民治的二十一世纪的今天,并给今天的我们以启发。 It can be seen that when the question of the joint province turns into a problem of civilian governance, people are still institutions: this issue is on the table. Wu Peifu to delay the system on the grounds of human beings, Lu Xun people first, then the system at least, Zhang Weixi at least underestimated the role of the system; then, Hu Shih, his choice is the system priority, the system and descendants. This is the basic idea of ​​Hu Shih’s thinking on civilian rule. This idea lasted until the ideological polemics of “popular rule and dictatorship” in the 1930s and has continued to the 21st century where we can rule the people and gives inspiration to us today.
