我们并非不认同韦伯对中国集权专制与西欧封建体制的比较,也并非不知道国内学界近20年来对“封建”概念的种种讨论。其实李泽厚先生还是较早意识到这一问题的中国学人之一……我想,我们不妨用“中国式封建社会”或在“封建”二字上打引号的方式,延用此词,在历史教科书中则作明确界定,以区别于西欧及中国先秦。 We do not disagree with Weber’s comparison of the autocratic monarchy in China and the feudal system in Western Europe, nor do we not know the discussions of the concept of “feudalism” in the domestic academic circles in the past two decades. In fact, Mr. Li Zehou was one of the Chinese scholars who realized this issue earlier... I think we might as well use the quotation marks of “Chinese-style feudal society” or “feudalism” This term, in the history of textbooks is clearly defined to distinguish it from Western Europe and China before the Qin Dynasty.
