政治伦理视域中的公民意识

Civic Awareness in Terms of Political Ethics

公民意识所涉及的复杂性是二重的,首先公民关注的是他们想要知道的知识,其次是他们应该知道的知识。公民在各自不同共同体的公共实践中获得了前一种知识,而后一种知识则是政治伦理学的使命:其所提供的知识既要契合公民的愿望,又须有益于各自的政体精神,符合社会公共伦理的期待,因而其也就构成了一个政治共同体(国家政治)的核心价值理念。

Civic consciousness offers double complexity. First of all, the citizen concerns the knowledge he wants to obtain, and then knowledge they should obtain. The citizen obtains the first type of knowledge in his prac- tice in different public communities, but he obtains the second type only by absorbing political ethnics. Knowledge provided by political ethnics must conform to the citizen＇ s expectation, benefit respective spirit of political institu- tions, and agree with expectation of social ethnics. Therefore, political ethnics make the essential ideological con- ception of a political community （ state politics）.
