论西方政治哲学平等思想与民族平等理论的发展

On the Development of Equality Thoughts in the Western Political Philosophy and the Ethnic Equality Theory

在当前,重新强调民族平等的意义是非常必要的。笔者将西方政治哲学中的平等理论引入民族平等的分析,力图将民族平等问题讨论引向深入。西方的平等思想主要表现为权利平等、机会平等、差别原则、资源平等和能力平等等内容。这些平等理论对民族平等的实践有重要的启示意义,但同时这些理论却因为其只强调某一要素的平等而存在一定的限度。本文尝试在马克思主义的民族理论基础上整合西方平等理论的核心内容,并提出一种复合民族平等的观念。具体而言,这一复合民族平等观主要体现为理论复合、知行复合、要素复合、层级复合、向度复合等五方面内容。这里的"复合"不是简单的叠加或组合,而是各种要素及各种维度以一定的逻辑有机地结合在一起。

Now it is extremely necessary to re-emphasize the meaning of ethnic equality.To deeply discuss the ethnic equality questions,the paper introduces the equality theories in the western political philosophy into the analysis of the ethnic equality.Western equality thoughts which include the rights equality,the opportunity equality,the difference principle,the resource equality,the capability equality,and so on,manifest important implications for the practices of the ethnic equality,while also have some limitations because of their emphasis only on one element.This article tries to integrate the advantages of western equality theories on the basis of the Marxist ethnic equality theory,and to propose an idea of the compound ethnic equality which mainly means the theoretical compound,the knowledge-practice compound,the elemental compound,the multilevel compound,and the directional compound.Here,' compound' is not a simple addition,but an organic combination of all kinds of elements and dimensions in certain logic.
