Abstract
Through the lens of the contemporary ideologization of the classical philosophic term harmony (he 和), the present article deals with the question of the relation between the Chinese tradition on the one side, and contemporary Chinese society on the other. First, it introduces the contemporary interpretation of the notion of harmony and reveals the reasons for its integration into the current revitalization of Confucianism. Through the analysis of classical Confucian texts, it then shows that the current interpretation is not founded upon the proto-democratic elements of original Confucianism, but rather upon the autocratic and state-generating line of Confucianism that was developed by Xunzi, who represents a bridge between Confucianism and Legalism. Through the analysis and interpretation of the classical notion of harmony it then indicates that the interpreta-tions generated by the crucial representatives of the Taiwanese Modern Confucians are – in contrast to those developed on the mainland – following the much more egalitarian and democratic lines of classical Confucian philosophy that were elaborated by Men-cius. In the conclusion, the author reveals the significance of such differentiations in the context of evaluating the political and social systems of contemporary China. This significance is not merely limited to the recognition of autocratic elements within con-temporary Chinese ideology, but also manifests itself in new possibilities of revitalization and upgrading of such elements of the Chinese ideational tradition, that can help us to generate a new, specifically Chinese model of democracy.

Title:Pomen poznavanja kitajske idejne zgodovine za razumevanje sodobne kitajske družbe: primer idejnega konstrukta »harmonije« in njegove interpretacije na kitajski celini ter na Tajvanu
Abstract:
Članek obravnava vprašanje razmerja med kitajsko tradicijo in sodobno kitajsko družbo na primeru sodobne ideologizacije klasičnega filozofskega termina harmonije (he 和). Najprej prikaže sodobno interpretacijo pojma harmonije in izpostavi razloge za njegovo umestitev v sodobno revitalizacijo konfucianizma. Potem skozi analizo klasičnih konfuci-janskih besedil prikaže, da gre pri sodobni interpretaciji koncepta harmonije v LR Kitajski za interpretacijo, ki ne sloni na proto-demokratičnih elementih izvornega konfucijanstva, temveč sledi avtokratski in državotvorni liniji konfucianizma, ki se je razvila na osnovi idej Xunzija, kateri v resnici predstavlja most med egalitarnostjo izvornega konfucijanst-va in despotskimi izhodišči legalizma. S pomočjo analize interpretacij klasičnega pojma harmonije nato prikaže, da sledijo interpretacije tajvanskega modernega konfucijanst-va – v nasprotju z izhodišči konfucijanskega preporoda, kakršen se je razvil na celini – egalitarnejšim in bolj demokratičnim smernicam klasičnega konfucijanstva, ki sledi liniji Mengzijeve filozofije. V zaključku izpostavi pomen prepoznavanja tovrstnih razlikovanj v kontekstu vrednoten-ja političnih in družbenih sistemov sodobne Kitajske. Ta se ne kaže zgolj v prepoznavanju avtokratskih elementov znotraj sodobne kitajske ideologije, temveč tudi v tem, da nam nudi tudi možnosti revitalizacije in nadgradnje tistih elementov kitajske tradicije, ki lahko pripomorejo k izdelavi specifično kitajskega modela demokracije.
