作者簡介
唐騁華,1982年生於上海。少喜讀書,務求甚解。畢業後入媒體,凡十二年,致力於文化和人物報導。至今仍供職於上海某報社。閒暇時鑽研文史,尤偏重於近現代觀念史與經濟史。實則以職業為副業,以學業為志業,偶有所得,遂編成《<觀察>文選》。
內容簡介
《觀察》創刊於1946年,是中國現代史上最後一份同人刊物,也是當時發行量最大、影響最大的刊物。唐騁華先生選編的《觀察》選本以嶽麓書社的六卷影印本為底本,以1946年9月創刊至1948年12月被禁的《觀察》為範圍,分《觀察》立場、時局分析、經濟觀點、理念探討、領土問題、各地通信六大類,選入77篇文章,其中,“經濟觀點”和“各地通信”為本選本的最大亮點,也是此前研究者未能充分注意的。前者較完整地展現了民國時期知識分子對資本主義、社會主義、經濟正義、社會民主主義等領域的思考和探索;後者為《觀察》的特色欄目,通信來自全國各地,是記錄民國最後幾年民生情況、政局風雲的第一手觀察材料,擁有極高的史料價值。

導言
在現代中國的思想市場上,《觀察》曾經是一塊響亮的招牌。這份創刊於1946年9月、徹底終結於1950年5月的雜誌,發行量最高時超過十萬份,對大眾特別是以公教人員、政府官員、媒體人、工商界人士、自由職業者等為主體的城市知識階層、中產階層,擁有廣泛而巨大的影響。如果進一步把《觀察》放置到長時段歷史中,就更能辨別出其獨特地位。
鴉片戰爭和甲午戰爭意味著中國開始“被現代化”。英吉利這個聞所未聞的偏遠小國首度打破了東方的朝貢體系,以通商口岸、治外法權、最惠國待遇、租界等形式給老大帝國植入了現代因子。但是,舊秩序真正走向瓦解則要到十九世紀末,並由天朝所鄙視的“蕞爾小邦”日本扮演終結者——甲午戰爭表明,從政治體制、國際關係、大眾動員直到軍事能力,傾力“脫亞入歐”的日本均完勝清廷,“同光中興”被無情地擊敗。
新興異質文明的衝擊使儒家文明因無力應對而崩塌,這引發了連鎖反應。儒家依靠政治權力壟斷思想市場近兩千年,它的猛然崩塌,給各種思潮以生長空間。其中,既有士人對經世致用、佛學等傳統思想資源的“再開發”,也有對西方學說的汲取和引介,而後者逐漸突破窠臼,呈“衝決羅網”之勢。於是晚清的思想市場呈現出前所未有的繁雜景象,物競天擇、君主立憲、開明專制、變法維新等新辭彙迅速緊俏,在士大夫的筆尖和唇齒間翻滾。及至五四運動前後,國家主義、民族主義、民生主義、社會主義、共產主義、自由主義、民主主義、無政府主義……你未唱罷我登場,似過江之鯽,看得人眼花繚亂。
思想市場上的“亂象”,並非如輕佻之輩所言是無關痛癢的口水仗。它實際反映了這樣一個事實:面對“三千年未有之變局”(李鴻章語),人們迫切地想知道該怎樣解釋及其應對之道。這種渴求又激發了對新訊息、新學說的強烈好奇心,它是如此強勁,並且藉助外來資源、大眾媒介,其聲勢、規模和深度均超過了春秋戰國時代的百家爭鳴。試圖滿足這種需求的“思想供應商”多種多樣,除了在啟蒙與救亡的大方向上勉強能保持共識,在以何啟蒙、何以救亡等問題上則分歧迭出、針鋒相對,以至於所謂“共識”只具有修辭意義。
《觀察》是眾多思想供應商里的一家。那么,在夭折六十餘載、同時代刊物多被遺忘的今天,為何人們總是一而再再而三地重新提起這本老雜誌呢?
從思想傳承看,《觀察》和《現代評論》(1924—1928)、《新月》(1928—1933)、《獨立評論》(1932—1937)等雜誌屬同一條脈絡,為自由知識分子的同人刊物。這些刊物的共同特點是,認為自由民主制度是中國的轉型目標,為達此目標則應以理性、客觀的態度分析時局、引介外來文明,從而既避免激進手段對社會造成的大破壞,又要矯正資本主義的弊端,收循序改良之效。到《觀察》時期,此種將自由主義與社會主義相調適的傾向更為明顯,且代表了知識階層的主流理念。這就不能不提及《觀察》的創辦者儲安平。
儲安平,1909年生,江蘇宜興人。早年畢業於光華大學英文系(一說政治系),起初熱衷文學創作,受《新月》主編徐志摩賞識,曾出版過小說集《說謊者》。不過儲安平的最大理想是出洋求學,為困境中的祖國找尋一條通往民主自由之路。辛苦籌措到學費後,他於1935年奔赴英國倫敦政治經濟學院,師從政治學家、工黨領袖哈羅德·拉斯基,潛心研究英國歷史和政治制度【1】 。
拉斯基是費邊社核心人物。費邊社由韋伯夫婦、蕭伯納等創建於十九世紀末,采古羅馬將領費邊緩進待機的辦法,主張調和社會矛盾與各階級利益,通過非暴力的、一點一滴的改良,推進社會變革,實現社會正義。此即“費邊主義”。二十世紀三十年代,拉斯基成為費邊主義的領軍人物。他長期任教於倫敦政治經濟學院,而羅隆基、張君勱、王造時、吳恩裕、金岳霖、費孝通、張奚若、蕭乾等中國學者皆曾慕名而來,由此,拉斯基及其“第三條道路”的理念風靡中國知識界,並在思想市場上形成了一個理念契合而形式鬆散的同人群體。
抗戰爆發後儲安平回國,著有《英國採風錄》《英人·法人·中國人》等。1945年他在重慶與張稚琴合辦《客觀》周刊,並任主編。十二期後他離開重慶,1946年9月1日在上海另起爐灶,締造《觀察》。而前述諸人中的吳恩裕、費孝通、張奚若,都一直作為特約撰稿人名列雜誌封面。這就難怪儲安平被目為“拉斯基傳人”了。
關於《觀察》的緣起和宗旨,本書選錄的《我們的志趣和態度》闡述得非常清楚,它也是《觀察》的發刊詞,此處不贅述。值得注意的是在致胡適信里,儲安平如此剖白心跡:“我們創辦《觀察》的目的,希望在國內能有一種真正無所偏倚的言論,能替國家培養一點自由思想的種子,並使楊墨以外的超然分子有一個共同說話的地方。”(《胡適來往書信選》下,中華書局,1979,第166頁)這表明,當“國共對決”之勢已成,自由知識分子倍感言論空間和生存空間日益縮小,亟需尋找“楊(極端利己主義)墨(團隊精神)以外”的第三條道路。
具體而言,《觀察》選取的道路是以書生論政為徑,又與現實政治保持一定的距離——至少儲安平自己從未涉足政治漩渦。這與傅斯年對胡適的忠告相契合:“與其入政府,不如組黨;與其組黨,不如辦報。”據此,儲安平為雜誌奠定了基調:民主、自由、進步、理性。
謝泳先生曾考證,蔣經國曾透過經濟學家笪移今資助過《觀察》並成為股東,但這並未影響儲安平的立場,因此我們依然可以說,《觀察》自始至終靠訂戶、零售所得來運營,未得官方的直接資助,更沒有武力後盾,可將其視作“市場化媒體”。
為經營好雜誌,儲安平每半年會撰寫一篇“報告書”做總結,從中能看到,為擴大銷路,他確實想了很多辦法——例如今日商家仍慣用的“飢餓行銷”。值得稱讚的是,在金融大崩潰的1948年,《觀察》的銷量不跌反升,遍及沿海和內地的各城市乃至邊疆省份,連“沒有任何閱讀習慣”的廣大職業民眾也熱心閱讀。這反過來說明,在天翻地覆的大變革中人民對思想的需求是十分旺盛的。
但思想市場從來都不是為所欲為的,要受到方方面面的掣肘。1948年11月6日,第五卷第十一期的《觀察》刊登了儲安平的《一場爛污》。針對破產的金圓券改革,他怒斥國民黨政府:“七十天是一場小爛污,二十年是一場大爛污!污爛污爛,二十年來拆足了爛污!”此文惹惱當局,於是數“罪”並罰,12月25日雜誌社被封。
儘管1949年11月《觀察》一度復刊,卻已今非昔比。而因為儲安平以及諸多《觀察》撰稿人在1957年被打成“右派”,有關這個人、這個群體、這本雜誌的往事長期塵封。不過,隨著近些年對民國知識分子、民國思想的關注度提高,《觀察》又回到公眾視野。張新穎編的兩卷本《儲安平文集》,謝泳先生編著的《儲安平:一條河流般的憂鬱》《儲安平與<觀察>》,特別是嶽麓書社的《觀察》影印本,對發掘和認識這份雜誌及其撰稿人有重要貢獻。我們編選這本《<觀察>文選》的目的,也是將那一群人在那個年代的所思所言,將他們的灼見也好謬論也罷,真實地呈現出來。
《文選》以嶽麓書社《觀察》(全六卷)影印本為底本,選錄自1946年9月創刊至1948年12月被查禁期間的77篇文章,分為時局分析、《觀察》立場、經濟觀點、各地通信、理念探討和領土問題等六個類別。由於《觀察》刊載的文章甚多,編選時須有所側重,為此編者確定了兩個原則:其一,以經濟評論類文章和各地通信為選編側重之點。由於內戰期間國民政府的財政狀況持續惡化、最終經濟總崩潰,嚴重侵害了社會各個階層的權益,因此,財政和經濟成為1946—1948年間知識界、軍政公教人員及普通市民最為關切的問題。同時,通過對經濟現象的分析和闡釋,學者們也表達了自身的價值立場和思想立場。梳理這些文字,有助於後人較完整地把握民國知識分子對資本主義、社會主義、經濟正義、社會民主主義等主題的思考和探索,為觀測當時的“思想光譜”提供了極佳案例。
“各地通信”為《觀察》的特色內容。在當時,《觀察通信》欄目因及時、準確、客觀而廣受好評,是《觀察》雜誌火爆發行的重要因素之一。鑒於時過境遷,且關於解放戰爭的資料和論述已汗牛充棟,編者遂放棄新聞性比較強的“軍事通信”,主要選取了以民生、民情為視角的通信。這些通信來自全國各地,有正劇、有悲劇亦有笑劇,堪稱記錄民國最後幾年民生狀況、政局風雲的第一手材料,具有極高的史料價值。
其二,鑒於儲安平、費孝通、潘光旦、張東蓀等名家均有文集面世,且他們在《觀察》發表的文章已被多種文集收錄,故本書只取其最具代表性的幾篇文章,而將主要篇幅留給伍啟元、劉大中、笪移今、嚴仁賡等人,以期從更廣泛的意義上呈現民國知識分子的思想狀況和知識水準。
上述學者國人可能並不熟悉,甚或聞所未聞——即便在網路搜尋極為便利的當下,也很難檢索到他們的詳細資訊——但某一時段的聲名不顯,並不會永久掩蓋他們的光芒。這些學者大都有著極深的學術造詣,假以時日,人們必會了解到他們的價值,給予他們應有的評價。例如伍啟元,曾赴倫敦大學政治經濟學院留學,其博士論文《國際價格理論大綱》獲奧地利學派經濟學家莫瑞·羅斯巴德盛讚,至今仍不斷再版;又如劉大中,赴美後專攻計量經濟學,2003年諾貝爾經濟學獎得主羅伯特·恩格爾曾接受他指導。編者在此拋磚引玉,希望有心人讀過《文選》後認識到他們的價值,挖掘整理出更多的史料和文獻,這當是對先賢最好的告慰。
唐騁華
【1】 此為通行的說法。不過,華東師範大學歷史系博士研究生、儲安平研究者韓戍在詳細梳理了相關史料後認為,儲安平最先進入的應為蘇格蘭愛丁堡大學,時為1936年夏。因不滿於該校的教學,遂於次年轉赴倫敦自學。但是,儲安平並未正式就學於倫敦政治經濟學院,更不曾受拉斯基親炙,可能只是屬於“遊學”性質。
出版背景
本書是儲安平創辦的《觀察》雜誌的選本。由於歷史的原因,儲安平一度是“思想史上的失蹤者”,由於戴晴、謝泳等人的努力,儲安平和《觀察》的命運與意義才為眾人所熟知。《觀察》自出版以來,有過影印本但從無選本。2016年是《觀察》雜誌創刊七十周年,也是儲安平失蹤五十周年,我們推出這本《<觀察>文選》,謹以此紀念思想史上這一段驚艷故事。書末所附的“部分作者簡介”和“《觀察》(全六卷)篇目索引”是我們的誠意所在,特別是“《觀察》(全六卷)篇目索引”,這是收入《觀察》全部文章的完整的篇目索引,連“讀者投書”這樣的小豆腐塊,我們都一一編入其中。
