当代中国知识分子当中,最具争议及传奇性的人物非何新莫属。自从80年代以来,何新先生的文化研究,经济和国际问题研究,他所首先倡导的一些基本观念,深刻地影响了当代中国的文化和社会发展,受到支持者和反对者的广泛注意。人们可以不赞同他,但是不可能不重视他。何新并不是一个为学术而学术的学者,他的学术研究,无论是在哲学、美学、经济学、社会学或是人类学领域,都流露出强烈的时代和现实意义;当然,这一点并没有为任何人提供质疑他在如此广泛领域内高超而精微的学术成就的可能。此前,何新关于孔子的研究已有若干专著、散论问世,颇多新意,不似流俗。这次专为孔子立传,或可期待一体其苦心孤诣。英国《经济学家》杂志近日评论说:“到了21世纪,孔子仍然是中国最出色的使者。”《Discovering Value·中国电子商务》以“发现价值”为名,以在Web2．0时代重估商业价值为己任,我们坚信,在任何时代,传统智慧都是我们价值体系中不可或缺的座标系。价值发现的过程绝非丧心痛狂的向壁虚构,而是始终扎根于对源头活水的汲取。因此,我们征得何新先生同意,独家连载他的《孔子新传》,以飨读者。 Among the contemporary Chinese intellectuals, the most controversial and legendary figures are invariably new. Since the 1980s, Mr. He Xin’s research on culture, economy and international issues has led some of his basic concepts to profoundly affect the cultural and social development of contemporary China and have drawn wide attention from supporters and opponents. One can disagree with him, but one can not ignore him. He Xin is not a scholar who is academic and academic. His academic research has shown strong contemporary and realistic significance both in philosophy, aesthetics, economics, sociology and anthropology. Of course, There is no question of offering anyone the possibility to question his superb and subtle academic achievements in such a broad area. Earlier, He Xin’s research on Confucius had already published several monographs. This time for Confucius Li Chuan, or one can look forward to their painstaking solitude. The Economist recently commented: “By the 21st century, Confucius remains the best ambassador in China.” “Discovering Value · China’s e-commerce” under the heading of “Discovering Value” Business value as its mission, we firmly believe that in any era, the traditional wisdom of our value system is an indispensable coordinate system. The process of value discovery is by no means futile to the wall imaginary, but always rooted in the source of living water absorption. Therefore, we have obtained the consent of Mr. He Xin, an exclusive serial of his “Biography of Confucius” to readers.
