论单向度的政治生活

On One-dimensional Political Life

西方式的自由民主作为一种政治生活,存在一种"单向度化"的趋势,即将人的愿望和诉求扁平化。同时,考虑到西方国家在全球范围内输出他们自己的"自由民主政治生活"的范式,这种"单向度化"同时还意味着其他国家在有关政治生活的想象方面被一种单一的模式给规制,从而没有办法和能力去意识到并主动地打破这种范式的规制。这种被意识形态化的"政治生活"输出,倘若换一个角度来看,会成为我们创新的一个起点。比如,"情理"这一概念本身包含了在地化和生活情境具体化的诉求,从而为我们在规范层面上进行政治生活的想象和创造开放出多元的可能性。

The Western style of liberal democracy as a description of political life may carry with it a propensity of ＂one-dimensionalisation＂,namely making flat human aspirations and demands.At the same time,considering the global phenomenon of western countries exporting their own paradigm（s） of ＂a political life of liberal democracy＂,this ＂one-dimensionalisation＂ also means prescribing to other countries a single model of imagining political life,rendering them without no means and mental capacity to realise and proactively break the limitation imposed by such paradigmatic prescription.This ideologicalised export of ＂political life＂,however,may become the starting point for our innovation if viewed from the other perspective around.For instance,the concept of ＂qingli＂ in and of itself contains both a demand for location and that for particularisation of living contexts,thus normatively enabling us to have a greater possibility of imagining and innovating upon political life.
