《政治自由主义》可以只作特殊主义解读吗?——兼论政治建构主义的证成之困

Can Political Liberalism Only be Interpreted Particularistically?

就证成策略而言,《政治自由主义》多被理解为罗尔斯从普遍主义向特殊主义的退守——放弃了对两个正义原则的普遍主义证成,转而在有所限定的语境下对两个正义原则的合理性加以保守的证成。然而,若从建构主义的逻辑和目的来衡量该著所开出的政治证成模式的话,特殊主义不可能是《政治自由主义》的全部,相反,其不仅明确提出要超出现代美国式民主社会的普遍语境,其证成理路和逻辑框架也必然导向一种新的普遍主义实践推理。

Political Liberalism is generally interpreted as a retreat from universalism to particularism and put justification in limited context. However,if we examine the mode which is opened up by this work in the view of constructivism,Political Liberalism should not be only interpreted particularistically. On the contrary,this work has mentioned a new context which is wider than modern American democracy,hence,its justificational way and inner logic would lead to a new universalist practical reasoning inevitably.
