古埃及新王国时期专制王权的制度化探析

摘要

According to the traditional view, the New Kingdom was the most powerful and prosperous period during Ancient Egyptian history, which resulted in its prime despotism at that time.However, it is proposed in the paper that this is not the fun-damental factor, though the powerful nation is one of the important causes that support the development of despotism.In fact, it is just because the rulers of this period executed a series of measures to guarantee the institutionalization of some concrete aspects of despotism.%传统观点认为，古埃及专制王权在新王国时期达到鼎盛，是因为新王国时期是古埃及政治、经济和文化最为强盛的时代。实际上，国力的强盛有助于专制王权的发展，但并非根本原因。从史料反映的情况来看，专制王权之所以在新王国时代达到巅峰，主要是因为当时以国王为首的统治阶级采取了一系列措施，实现了专制王权具体内容的制度化。这是古埃及之前的历史时代没有出现过的现象。
