【摘要】：民主在西方其实并非毫无争议的"正统"。无论是直接民主还是代议制民主都曾受到广泛批评,既有来自哲人的内在批评,比如民主带来人类鄙俗化,也有来自社会科学家的外部批评,如民主必然缺乏效率。许多人认为现代政治的成功靠的其实不是民主,而是法治或共和乃至市场经济。不过,试图为民主特别是古代民主辩护的学者依然不时出现,他们努力另辟蹊径,寻找令人信服的论证,回答这些批评,从内在和外在的各种角度发掘古代民主实践和理念资源的现代意义,提出了诸如民主的"表演-施为"模型、"知识经济"效率模式、"观看型民主"模型、"哲人公民"模型等。这些尝试相当有新意,有助于对民主理论及历史乃至一般政治思想史和价值论的深入思考。
[Abstract]:Democracy is not, in fact, an undisputed "orthodoxy" in the West. Both direct democracy and representative democracy have been widely criticized, such as internal criticism from philosophers, such as democracy bringing about human stigmatization, and external criticism from social scientists, such as the inefficiency of democracy. Many people believe that the success of modern politics depends not on democracy, but on the rule of law or republic and even market economy. However, scholars who tried to defend democracy, especially in ancient times, still appeared from time to time, and they tried to find other ways to find convincing arguments to answer these criticisms. This paper explores the modern significance of ancient democratic practice and concept resources from both internal and external perspectives, and puts forward such models as "acting-giving" model of democracy, "knowledge-based economy" efficiency model, "viewing-type democracy" model. The model of "philosopher citizen" and so on. These attempts are quite innovative and contribute to the in-depth consideration of democratic theory, history and even the history of general political thought and theory of value.
