本刊于1999年第一期在“中国社会思想的世纪末分化”专栏标题下发表了汪晖、任剑涛两篇长文 ,以助读者了解知识界围绕自由主义问题所展开的思想论争。这场论争与其说是两极化而勿宁说是多极化 ,为了进一步展示这种分化的真实状貌 ,本刊在这里再推出一组分别为“保守主义”(萧功秦 )、“民族主义” (王小东 )、“第三条道路”(秦晖 )的代表性言论 ,供读者比较与研析。 In the first issue of 1999, we published two long essays by Wang Hui and Ren Jiantao under the heading “Divergence of the End of the Century in Chinese Social Thought” to help readers understand the intellectual debate over liberalism. This debate is not so much a matter of polarization as it is rather multi-polarization. In order to further demonstrate the true appearance of such differentiation, we publish another series here of “Conservatism” (Xiao Gong Qin), “Nationalism” (Wang Xiaodong), “the third way” (Qin Hui) representative speech for readers to compare and analysis.
