四、结束语 如前所述,美国确实已逐渐摆脱越战失败的阴影,但却始终囿于自己的尚武文化价值体系中。这一方面是因为美国总是以“上帝的庞儿”自居,只知对他人指手划脚、大动干戈,缺乏审视自己文化政治机制是否合理的传统和勇气;另一方面则是因为它对世界文化的主流--和平与发展--熟视无睹。这种状况的必然结果将是尚武道德在世界文化体系中被逐渐边缘化。最近美国用导弹袭击伊拉克只落得个曲高和寡的结局也许使美国人清醒了一点。 注释: ①Alexis de Tocqueville,Democracy in America,trans.George Lawrence,ed.J.P.Mayer,New York:Doubleday,Anchor Books 1969,p.280. ② ⑦ ⑧Alan Wolfe (ed.),America at Century's End,University ofCalifornia Press,1991,pp.376,379,385. ③The Pentagon Papers,New York:published by the New York Times,1971,p.432. ④Henry Kissinger,Years of Upheaval,Boston:Little,Brown and Company,1982,p.88. ⑤C.J.H.Hayes,"The American Frontier--Frontier of What?"in EugeneKuirian & Larry Madaras(eds.),1977,Taking Sides:Clashing Views onControversial Issues in American History,Vol.1,Connecticut:The DushkinPublishing Group,Inc,1987,p.23. ⑥Edward Shils,"Centre and Perphery,"in The Logic of PersonalKnowledge:Essays Presented to Polanyi,Routledge & Kegan Paul 1961,p.121. ⑨HortensePowdermaker,Hollywood:TheDreamFactory,Boston:Little,Brown1950,p.15.
