內容摘要：學界長期以來受三種西方中心模式（「衝擊—回應」、「傳統—近代」、帝國主義模式）的影響，忽視了對王船山政治思想的近代性因素的研究，也就遮蔽了王船山政治思想的重大歷史地位。因此王船山政治思想研究的突破在於揭示王船山政治思想中的近代性因素，並闡發其對於中國近代史的深遠影響。王船山政治思想的歷史地位正是體現在其豐富的近代性因素對於中國近代歷史進程的深遠影響上。其中王船山政治思想中的民主主義思想因素對維新派產生了重要影響，而其民族主義思想因素則對革命派產生了重大影響。王船山政治思想的重大歷史貢獻突出表現在王船山的民族思想對於促進「排滿革命」運動、完成光復之績發揮了舉足輕重的歷史作用上。時至今日，王船山政治思想中的進步思想仍是中華民族可資借鑒的寶貴精神財富，仍是實現中華民族偉大復興的重要精神動力之一。

Abstract: The Chinese academic world has been influenced by three “western centralized” models such as impact-response model, tradition-modernity model, imperialism model for such a long time that the modernity of Chuanshan Wang’s political thought and its historical significance have been neglected. Therefore, a breakthrough in the study of Chuanshan Wang’s political thought can be made by revealing the modernity of Chuanshan’s political thought and its profound influence on the modern history of China. The historical significance of Chuanshan Wang’s political thought lies in the profound influence of its abundant modern factors on the progression of modern Chinese history. The democratic factors in Chuanshan’s political thought had had great influence on the Reformists, while its nationalistic factors on the Revolutionaries. The great historical contributions of Chuanshan Wang’s political thought lie in the significant historical role its nationalistic thought had played in promoting the Movement of Exclusion of Manchus and in contributing to the accomplishment of the “Guangfu” (regaining of power by the Hans) cause. Even now, the progressive thoughts in Chuanshan Wang’s political thought are still a precious spiritual wealth worthy of absorption and one of the important spiritual motivations for rejuvenating the Chinese nation.
