权利让渡的政治学分析——社会契约论的逻辑审视与现代启示

A Logical Survey and Enlightenment of Social Contract

社会契约论作为资产阶级反对封建专制统治的福音书,也是西方政治学者从卢梭到罗尔斯一脉相承的理论体系。从社会原初假想状态即自然状态出发,通过公民权利让渡这个核心,从而推导出国家权力的起源,并以此作为公民监督制约国家的理论依据。马克思主义对社会契约论一方面作了批判,但也给予了高度的评价。在当代中国语境下重新审视社会契约论的价值,具有重要的理论价值和现实意义。

Social contract is the Gospel of the bourgeoisie against the feudal autocratic rule and it＇s also the theoretical system established by the western political scientists from Rousseau to Rawls. It sets out from the natural state to deduce the origin of state power by means of transfer of citizen power which becomes the theoretical evidence for citizens to supervise the state. On one hand, Marx has criticized social contract. On the other hand, he has also highly praised it. It is of great theoretical and practical significance to re-evaluate the value of social contract theory in the context of contemporany China.
