市民社会理论发展演变中的自由维度

Dimensions of Liberty in the Evolvement of the Theory of Civil Society

在市民社会理论发展的不同时期,有着不同的自由维度,具体表现为城邦时期的政治自由、自然法哲学时期的契约自由、近代市民社会与国家二分时期的经济自由、当代市民社会与国家和市场经济三分时期的参与自由。每个时期所追求的自由都有其积极的意义,但也存在难以避免的负面效应,有些负面效应甚至可能对自由造成根本性的损害。因此,在当前构建市民社会的热潮中,如何在充分实现市民社会理论的自由价值的同时,又有效规避其可能出现的负面结果,应当成为进一步研究的课题。

The evolvement of the theory of civil society in different periods was closely associated with different dimensions of liberty.Specifically speaking,the dimension of liberty is the political liberty in the period of classical polis,contracting liberty in the period of natural law philosophy,economic liberty in the dichotomy of civil society and state in modern times,and participating liberty in the trichotomy of civil society and state and market in the contemporary era.The pursuit of liberty in every period had its values and,however,inevitably negative effects,some of which would bring great harm to liberty itself.Therefore in the current tide of developing the civil society it is worthwhile for scholars to study how to prevent the negative effects when the value of liberty in the theory of civil society is fulfilled.
