略论鲁迅对民主的理解——以鲁迅的“任个人”思想为中心

Lu Xun’s Understanding of Democracy: taking Lu Xun's idea of respecting the individual as the center

鲁迅关于"任个人而排众数"的评论曾被一些读者认为是缺乏民主观念的表现,清末民初轰轰烈烈的民主运动中有一个核心问题:保护个人权益一直没有受到当权者重视。鲁迅正是针对这个问题有感而发,他认为:不能保护个人权益的所谓民主最终会走向多数暴政,只有在"任个人"的基础上发展民主,才能在最佳程度上发挥每个人的才能,民族振兴才有希望。

Comments about Lu Xun ＂as individual and discharge mode＂ once were thought by some readers to be short of democratic ideas. Although democratic movements of the late Qing Dynasty have vigorous form, but a core problem has not been taken into consideration by the authorities, which was aimed at the problem that Lu Xun had put forward. Lu Xun believed that the so-called democracy will eventually go tyranny if individual rights cannot be protected. Only when democracy is developed on the basis of protecting individual rights,everyone can play his role to the best degree, and national devolvement is hopeful.
