自由主义、保守主义与激进主义是中国近代史上最重要的三大思潮。自由主义思潮经历了发生、发展和衰弱的复杂历程,在中国近代史上发挥过重要作用,产生过多种影响。认识和评价中国近代自由主义,不仅关乎时代对自由主义的价值判断,亦关系到对中国最终选择马克思主义做出合理的解释。因此,以唯物史观为指导,从历史事实出发,对中国近代自由主义思潮进行多视角的梳理和研究是非常必要的。 Liberalism, conservatism and radicalism are the three most important thoughts in modern Chinese history. The liberal ideological trend has undergone a complex process of occurrence, development and decline. It has played an important role in the modern history of China and has had many kinds of influences. To recognize and evaluate Chinese modern liberalism is not only related to the value judgments of the times on liberalism, but also to a reasonable explanation of China’s final choice of Marxism. Therefore, guided by historical materialism and based on historical facts, it is necessary to conduct a multi-angle review and study of the modern Chinese liberalism.
