论法德自由主义的价值观

On the Franco-German Liberal Values

法德的自由主义价值观主要来源于欧洲的理性主义传统,其核心是唯理主义。唯理主义偏好意图伦理、信念伦理和价值理性。它相信人的理性能力的无限性,但一直秉持怀疑主义的原则;它喜欢革命与变革,坚决反对传统,主张革除习俗与惯例,但它又喜欢对社会与人的改造,相信人性的无限可完善性。它所秉持的这些观念极易将其价值当作现实去推行,从而导致恶果,因此需要对之进行限定、划界,方能发挥其作用。

The liberal values of France and Germany are mainly from the liberal values of the rationalist tradition in Europe, of which its core is rationalism. Rationalism prefers intentions ethics, beliefs ethics and value rationality. It believes the infinity of the human capacity for reason, but it always upholds the principle of skeptieism ; it likes revolution and innovation, and is resolutely opposed to the tradition; it advocates abolishing customs and practices, but it also likes the transformation of society and people, believing the infinite perfectibility of human nature. Due to these ideas it contains, it will make it easy to implement its value as a reality, leading to bad results. It is necessary for us to warrant the limits, boundaries so as to play its role.
