【内容提要】雅斯贝斯的“轴心时代”理论在20世纪80年代介绍到中国时，正值中国社会处于一个特殊的转折时期。雅斯贝斯将人类历史划分为史前、古代文明、轴心时代和科技时代四个基本阶段，其中，第三阶段以公元前500年为中心，东西方同时或独立地产生了中国、印度、巴勒斯坦和希腊四个轴心文明。虽然这一理论具有反西方中心论的意味，但也必须注意到，在雅斯贝斯所划分的整个人类历史上，只有中华文明跨越着全部四个阶段，埃及和美索不达米亚文明到第二阶段绝灭了，古希腊文明则在第三阶段才开始。追溯民初以来学者早已开始的东西文明比较，更多关注的是在古埃及、古巴比伦、古印度和中华文明的第二阶段上。20世纪初兴起的疑古思潮将中国古史“砍掉一半”、“打个对折”，“轴心时代”理论则恢复了晚周诸子学的合法性，但它同时继续漠视三代王官学，而三代王官学正是晚周诸子学乃至整个中华文化的源头。“轴心时代”理论与中华文明对接中的偏差，其影响将是流与源的颠倒、反题与正题的倒置和各期学术史的逐次错位。
