摘　　要：西欧中古早期的王国不是罗马国家的延续,也非民族国家、主权国家的某种不完整的、模糊的投射,中古早期的国家应当依其自身进行解释,这是当代论者的基本共识。论者对西欧中古早期王国与罗马制度的关系、早期王国能否纳入"state"这一概念意义上的国家范畴、公共权力与私人权力的关系、王权与地方权力的关系等问题,展开了广泛的讨论。讨论显示,关于国家发展问题的直线的、目的论式的传统解说,在当代学者中不再具有普遍认同。讨论还显示,只有避免将中古早期的政治实践狭窄地范畴化,即避免在"公权"与"私权"、"公法"与"私法"这些二元对立的范畴内观察中古早期的政治生活,才能真正认识那个时代的国家性质和特点。Many medievalists have been concerning about the state of early medieval Europe in recent studies.They have extensively discussed the characteristics and nature of the early medieval kingdoms,and generally rejected to see the early medieval kingdoms in the context of the dichotomous categories(for example,public power and private power,public law and private law,etc.).They think that it is a mistake to understand the kingdoms of early medieval Europe as a premature form of the nation state or the sovereign state,and emphasize that the early medieval kingdoms should be understood on their own terms.In doing so,they turn down the teleological explanations about the development of state.
