Legend of the Galaxy Heroes: The Empire of Panpan and the History of Difficulty

Yuan Chunxi/Wen

Historical novels are a strange style. According to postmodern historians, novels, like history, are just a narrative. They are all filled with subjective performance and screening memories. When we put the facts that have happened in the history book, under the strokes of the novelist, and revisiting the historical scene, it is inevitable that there is a sense of spoiler. However, as Hayden White's diagnosis of narrative history: All historical narratives pre -assume the metaphorical depiction of events they want to express and explain. Historical novels also hide some common mentality and concepts of novelists and readers. Historical figures are not characters at the time, and they represent an unprepared ideal and creed. Their failure and victory in history can still make today's readers be happy and sad because the concept of concept is still continuing today. As Bakhart's ridicule two hundred years ago, "No evidence shows that human soul or brain capacity becomes better or more in such long history." The dispute is the precise prediction of any farce of any revolution after the name of the revolution after the 19th century. The emperor in the February River is the most general political ideal for the Chinese for thousands of years.

History provides us with a vast field, and readers who accept this narrative have also formed a "imagination community." We all know the end of history, but we all hope that the cruelty of history and weak meat can show the flash of certain human nature, not just the inevitable fate. As a result, the history of investigation and restoration can inevitably bring aesthetic perspective and moral empathy. Xiangyang City under the pressure of the Mongolian Army will eventually fall, but we all hope that the heroes led by Guo Jingyang will be able to meet their own destiny. Hao Xing. We hope that history is different. It is precisely that people who hope that human nature will not be tampered with by those who have the right to interpret history and accept different historical narratives and interpretations. From this point of view, Japanese novelist Tanaka Tanaka's science fiction "Galaxy Heroes" is such a "special" historical novel.

Although the time and space set up in the distant future and the vast universe, we still have to regard the Legend of the Galaxy Heroes as a historical novel, and the same is applied to Frank Herbert's "Dunes". Perhaps it is precisely because of the limitations of human nature and imagination. Even in the era of colonial space, the future written by human beings is still a copy of history. The source of inspiration for Tanaka Fangshu is the modern history of Europe. We can regard "The Legend of the Galaxy" as a person from the 19th century to the 19th century. When we are tired of the politicians who are angry and cold -blooded in political news, the oligopoly rule of the monkey and the crown of monkeys, and the politicians who are talking about elections and voting as the principle, maybe we will miss the "prosperous year" of human beings, It is also the most promising era -noble politics has not completely withdrawn, the popularity of technological progress and voting rights makes everyone hope for the future, and the people believe that the republican system is enough to become a human language. Historians have recovered countless international order and why the leaders of the great power before the World War I have in charge of the collective unawareness, which eventually made the world war a fate that everyone could not escape, but could not reconstruct the Europeans at that time. Disappointed, and the sorrow of that wonderful era. Tanaka Fangshu reproduces the "last" history of Europe in the 20th century. There is a classic tragedy like a hero, driving history and the fate of millions of people. It is not the model and probability designed by political scientists today, but the hero's will and aesthetic urge. It is not the rear guns and infantry tactics that block Napoleon, but the fate of Greek mythology.

It is difficult to summarize the real "contradiction" of the novel "The Legend of the Galaxy Heroes"? It is like a long and tedious political editor -in -chief or historical textbooks. We all hope that history has a real end, and everyone will be inspired and redeemed in the myth of history. However, human explorations often end up with cynicism with the consequences that are convinced. The three -legged Galaxy Empire, Feisha Autonomy and Liberty Federation in the universe represent different political ideas. However, unlike anime works such as Gundam, the focus of the political faction and political party politics, the focus of Tanaka Fangshu lies in those "heroes" that drive history. The war between Reinhart (the Galaxy Empire) and Yang Weili (Free Federation) represents the collision of two concepts. Efficient and clean authority and freedom, but the republican government of corruption and incompetence, which one represents the future of human beings? And this contradiction and conflict are exactly the fate and choice of Reinhart and Yang Weili.

Hanging sovereignty and heroic heroes

Although Yang Weili represents Tanaka Fangshu's sustenance of democratic value, in the novel, Yang Weili was struggling in the democratic system. Liberty Federation claims to be a democratic system, but it is full of various disadvantages of the era of popular democracy. The root cause lies in the people in the democratic system, and the Spanish political scientist Gaster accurately diagnosed the public psychology of the democracy. . And impose it in all the places where he has the tentacles. "When Yang Wili defeated the empire, he was the hero and hope of the people. However, when politicians left Sinini, they turned black and white to the blind public, and Yang Weili became the threat of the mounted military strong man and the democratic system. This is the sorrow of modern human nature and mind, and it is also the sorrow of the democratic system. Volkswagen democracy and modern media have turned all judgments into the enemy of the enemy. Politics is no longer the first priority in the ancient Greece that needs to be cautious and public discussion. Instead, it has become a recreation and venting of TIKTOK and emoticon -like tea. The freedom and morality of democratic politics began to loosen in the era of removing the era. Historically, Yang Weili faced with the Wei Ma Republic after the First World War and most of the countries with weak democracy today. Tanaka Fangshu accurately diagnosed the inherent pathology of the democratic system in the Cold War era, but his solution can only be Yang Weili's idealist self -moral constraints and confidence in the primer of the public. After the First World War, Max Weber once discovered the contradiction between the institutionalism of modern democracy and the responsibility ethics of political leaders. After the disaster of the World War I, Weber found that all disasters of the German nation originated from the lack of interest in politics. Here Politics does not only refer to voting, elections and arguments, but a maturity and prudential political ethics. In the 19th century, the German public either believed in the Time -style national doctrine, or looking forward to the Bismarck -style authoritarian leader, or became the middle class of the ability of power and giving up thinking ability. The post -war democratic system that Weber expects is the birth of the real responsible Karrisma political leader. Although Weber is also a supporter of parliamentary democracy and diversified democracy, in the view of historian Monsen, Weber really calls for surpassing the party and the party and the party Private interest is the "leader" that can condense public intentions. Although the bureaucratic system of democratic systems and tools rational, although it is an essential condition for mature democratic society, for Weber, these do not mean the birth of a mature constitutional country. What is really important is to cultivate a healthy political culture , So that the best mind of a nation can stand out in the competition of the highest power. Like Tocqueville, Weber firmly believes that democratization and centralization are the ultimate trend of human history. Weber believes that the characteristics that modern countries cannot be ignored are the appearance of "public", and all operations of modern politics must be carried out under the attention of the public. The promotion of universal selection and the expansion of industrial capitalism undoubtedly accelerate this process. Well, the expansion of Volkswagen Democracy is bound to combine with the rational bureaucratic system. So we saw that in the political system of the alliance, Yang Willie, who was quite aristocratic, was quickly excluded into the edge of the power center, and Teluniste, who was a professional politician, was on the "public democracy" game rules. It's like a fish. And this is just like the worries of the young Weber's parliamentary system, which is "the product of the Bismarck -style court politics."

Weber's attitude towards the parliament system is extremely complicated, and it is worthy of repeated taste. He admires Anglo-Saxon-style parliamentary politics and believes that this is a "admission ticket" in Germany's entry into the country, but as supporters of the country's organic theory, he has a lot of traditions of natural law in British and American political practice. Historians after World War II, such as Raymond Alon, have always believed that Weber is more as a nationalist rather than a liberal, and it is also related to Weber's questioning of parliament politics. However, from the perspective of Weber, all his judgments on parliamentary systems and mass politics are based on his pursuit of the highest mission of the German nation and the analysis of the German social Democratic Party and the bourgeoisie. On the one hand, he feels that the bureaucratic system of the parliamentary system and the rational of tools is corruption of the spirit of democracy. The democratic system needs to face the irrationalism of the public and the performance of the first performance of the performance of the bureaucracy. On the other hand, although Weber has a lot of criticism of the tradition of nature, it is difficult to define a liberalist under the British and American traditions. However, he also had to admit that the diversified value of harmony between modern society and the gap between the rich and the poor, so that the only way for the mass emotions that gradually differentiation and conflict were domesticated. Similarly, Weber also sees the decline of democracy in the future: the council of the parliament has another form of dictatorship, and the irrationality of the mass movement will exclude the truly great and calm mind. In "The Legend of the Galaxy Heroes", Yang Weili, who is the ideal Karisma -style leader of Weber, has also been exiled as the enemy of the federal, and the noisy and noisy politicians in the parliament will only realize Yang Wei when the imperial army is under pressure. The value of benefits -this value is only military and security. From the perspective of the history of constitutional studies, Yang Weili's dilemma is actually within the constitutional system of any mature democratic country. Chrisma needs a mature leader to defend a moral ideal as a community of citizen. Similarly, Crisma's inherent dilemma also comes from the political system itself. Political leaders also need a superb political art to reconcile the consciousness from the inside. Forms and challenges of interest groups. In the extreme political environment set by the Legend of the Galaxy Heroes, this contradiction reflects the federal weakness and the corruption of high -level corruption. The way is Yang Weili's personal charm and his "quotation" with a sense of humor on democratic value. Tanaka Fangshu keenly captured the internal conflict of this modern value, and his writing era was exactly the time when the post -war value of the post -war Japanese war was like the sky. However, the democratic system is not fortunate to have Yang Weili -style figures. Historically, it is more similar to the federal political system in the 20th century. At the time, Germany unfortunately had Arodol Hitler. The same so -called democratic constitution, the same emergency state, may no longer be Yang Weili's so -called "worst democracy politics is also better than the best autocracy." The people's sovereignty, even his call before the Nazi call, "The parliament is a man -made machine, which was born from the reasoning of liberalism. Democracy's essence. "" The Legend of the Bank of the Heroes "is the best enlightenment textbook known as democraticism in the eyes of many readers. However, after getting rid of the obscurity, it may not represent happiness and freedom. vision.

State rational binary opposition

Similarly, the era of Tanaka Fangshu's growth and writing is also the time of Japan's "democracy". The "founding" in modern Japan started to say goodbye to the international order created by nationalism to say goodbye to its "Little China" consciousness. It is pursuing the rational transformation of the country according to the Western country. As a result, in traditional and modern, natural and spiritual, political, and moral The tension collapsed and caused a worldwide disaster. The criticism of the post -war thinking world for Japanese history and tradition also inspired Tanaka Fangshu's perspective of thinking about politics and history. Like all modern countries, Japan has also ushered in the wave of enlightenment and democratization in Meiji Restoration. However, the end result is extreme nationalism. Driving Livatin devoured everything. This also makes Japanese intellectuals think of the country's only way, is it closely related to the deviation of national thought?

Borrowing Yang Willy's mouth, Tanaka Fangshu has defined the function and role of the country more than once: "The country is a concrete means to put the citizen's well -being and democratic republic politics. There is absolutely no other purpose. "And" people will die, the stars have a life span. Even things like the universe will stop. It is impossible to exist permanently. If the country must have huge sacrifices to survive, then This country is still better to perish immediately, who will care about it? "Under the control of this personalist statement, we naturally think of the sharp rise in extreme nationalism formed by Japan before the war and the history of liberalism. The Galactic Empire described by the post -war democratic movement and the baptism of the left -wing sports in the 1960s did not projected the radical nationalism and super nationalism of the Japanese empire before the war. Yang Willie's comment on the country's weightlifting lightly reflects the reflection of the historical responsibility and democratic system in the Japanese ideological industry. As the Japanese ideologist Maruyama said, "politics today uses all means to cast people into politics." The tragedy of Japan during the war is exactly the Great Asianism that has not been cleaned up with the expansion of the Empire. In the international order of weak meat and strong food in the 19th century, it completely devoured the inspiration of Japanese and that era enlightenment in Japan. Political ideals of intellectuals. And Maruyama's criticism of the inherent nature of Japanese society is of world historical significance, surpassing specific times and characters. The "confession community" proposed by Maruyama Men after the war -the confession of the memory of war and the planning of Japanese politics in the future, also pointing to another direction of Japan's unfinished enlightenment movement, completely abducted people from the country and ideology. For the first time, the intellectuals used the special state of Japan under the US military after the war, and used ideological doctrine to perform the second "founding" in the sense of ideology and the social sense of the public.

As the spokesperson of the political concept of the Freedom Planet, Yang Weili's unique personal charm is also the awakening of this personal consciousness. Yang Weili is not a specific country that defends by soldiers, or even the political philosophy of the Freedom Planet Alliance. It is precisely that he is happy Personal life -retired as soon as possible, drinking black tea half -sleeping and opening a book. The personal value of Yang Weili's understanding is also closely related to the alertness of Maru Shan's "Human and Politics" in essays. Value and compulsory integration into the system. The more clever the technical means of power use, the more the unity of the dispelled personality makes it more dangerous to send it back to the mechanical function. " The invasion of Towivir predicted in the 19th century, a new type of country slavered in a flat society.

If in the sense of ideology, the nationalism that Maruyama True is not criticized is not a special case in Japan as a post -developed country. In the late Meiji era, Japanese intellectuals represented by Kato Hiroshi, after the free civil rights movement, gave up the previous civil rights doctrine into the embrace of organic theory of German countries. The empire in "The Legend of the Galaxy" reminds people of the German -style militarism and national mentality of the German Empire in the 19th century. In the history of thought in the 19th century, German thinkers woven the country as a new type of political myth. From the perspective of German philosopher Ensston Cassier, this myth can be traced back to Makia Villy's "On Li Wei" : "In Rome, religion should not become a source of weakness, but should become the country's strong roots." It is this passion and impulse that has gradually replaced the concept of modern state. Found the determined theoretical legitimacy. Politicians are priests and wizards of our society. In the 18th century where the natural law tradition declined and the rational rational rational rushing, Hegel's "in the history of the world, only those nations that have formed the country deserves our concern", which has become a new direction of human history.

Today, we regard the national state as a kind of civilized body. Under the weaving of modern ideology and political encouragement, the nation -state has become a new myth, so this myth can easily create irrational impulses. Cassier believes that the root cause of this myth is "meaningless and unrestrained forces, trying to surpass all boundaries." State rationality that has emerged since the 18th century means that the country's Europe in the 18th century as a utilitarianism The value of you rushing to seize me and the level of national survival has gradually increased. As the country's role in public life and diplomatic is getting greater and greater, the concept of sovereignty and decision has become our path to understand modern politics. This also makes the state's discussions on legitimacy and contractuality increasingly thinner and more and more distinctive personality. In "The Legend of the Galaxy Heroes", the existence of the Galaxy Empire is also maintained by Rheinhard's warfare and personal charm. The entire country is also a tool for his self -existence. The sovereigner defined in the theology, the sovereigner, is not the representative of the country. It represents the political community established by the contractual relationship between the sovereignty and the subject. The sovereigner opposes the diverse politics represented by the parliamentary system of Schmitt. He must also overcome this modern challenge with a decisive attitude.

At this level, we can also clearly see the opposition between Yang Weili and Rheinharrt. Although they represent different political systems and conceptual disputes, they are essentially different from the state and sovereignty they understand. Yang Weili is looking forward to the country where idealism and humanitarian construction are constructed. His "country" is neutral, irrelevant to the highest value and ultimate ideal. The country in the Rheinhardt is obviously a country in Germany in the history of thought (Bismarck: "The Polish people were defeated until they lost all hope and fell to the ground; I sympathized with their situation, but if we want to survive We have no choice but to destroy them. ") - It complains to the pure and ultimate national ideals of national bloodlines and the degradation of the surrounding nations. However, real politics is never as clear as what the novel is said. All countries are gray, and they fight between two roads and ideals. The pursuit of rationality of the state has given politicians a specific spiritual dimension: power and morality together for new countries, such a country comes from the pursuit of power and a creative aesthetic in human nature. When this ideal is established, it has fallen towards the abyss of power. War, plunder, and massacre must be attacked for survival and honor. The struggle between the Galaxy Empire and the Federation is driven by such a moral dual theory. The coldness of the war we see in the novel that we see in the novel also stems from this. Menicians who wrote "The Holocaust of Germany" Menic once hoped that the politicians thought of both the country and God. Yang Weili, who used to use historians as an ideal, is undoubtedly practicing this ideal politician, and even the divine nature in his heart far exceeds the so -called national rationality, because he reads history books and is calm. Dimensions and value ethics should be based on maintaining justice and humanity. However, unfortunately, as a historical novel, even no predicted works, the historical sense of "The Legend of the Galaxy Heroes" can only come from the eyes and sigh of the history of the past. The new world it is pointing to Yang Wei is The direction of ridicule and worry sank.
