从“无支配自由”到“论辩式民主”——佩迪特的共和主义政治哲学述评

From Freedom as Non-domination to Contestatory Democarcy——On Philip Pettit's Republicanism

菲利普·佩迪特是西方共和主义复兴中的关键性人物。他的无支配自由观是其对当代西方政治哲学的重要贡献,这种自由观试图超越伯林的消极或积极自由的二分法。在此基础上,佩迪特还提出了论辩式民主等一系列共和主义的制度设计。虽然他的观点受到了诸多批评,但他的理论努力仍然是值得肯定的。

Philip Pettit is the key figure in the contemporary ‘republican revival’. His conception of freedom as non-domination is an important contribution to western political philosophy. The conception tried to transcend Isaiah Berlin＇s famous distinction between positive and negative liberty. He also advanced the conception of contestatory democarcy and other republican institutions. Althought his republicanism suffers critiques in many aspects, it still represents an invaluable contribution to our political thinking.
