古希腊演说和辩论与三次政府改革刍议

On Ancient Greek's three government reforms in relation to speeches and debates

古希腊的演说和辩论造就了公民思维和政府体制的理性、开放性和斗争(竞争)性,理性的公民思维和政府体制又确保了社会秩序的稳定性和公民个体的独立性;开放的公民思维和政府体制呈现了政治主张的代表性和公民个体的包容性,斗争(竞争)的公民思维和政府体制形成了政治文化的开拓性和公民个体的不妥协性。梭伦、克里斯提尼和伯里克利所进行的三次政府改革基本代表了雅典民主制度的建立、发展和完善三个阶段。通过古希腊三次政府改革的考察发现,古希腊演讲和辩论的兴盛,是与其理性、开放和竞争的民主制度联系在一起的。这也为当前我国政府改革提供了可资借鉴的参考。

Ancient Greek＇ speeches and debates contributed to the rational, open and competitive citizen think- ing and govemment system. In rum the rationality ensured the stability of social order and the independence of citizens, the openness brought forward political representation and citizen tolerance, the competitiveness shaped pioneering spirit of political culture and persevering citizens. Three government reform about Solon, Kleisthenes and Pericles represents the establishment, development and improvement of democratic system in Athens. From the three government reforms we find that the flourishing practice of speeches and debates was closely linked with the rational, open and competitive democratic system, which is a good reference for the current government reforms in China.
