卢梭的意图:德性与自由之间

Rousseau's Intention:between the Virtue and Freedom

德性与自由原则区分了古典政治哲学和现代政治哲学。卢梭是站在古典德性与现代自由之间的政治哲人。他以德性为根据批判科学艺术时代的现代社会,在此基础上重构古典德性的含义;另一方面,自由思想是卢梭思想的重要内容,他将政治社会的根本目标定位为自由和平等。德性和自由之间的矛盾是卢梭必须面对的难题。卢梭的真实意图是在自由的社会状态下实现原初之善,在古典共同体已经衰亡,市民替代公民的现代社会中,重构现代政治社会的公民德性。

The principle of virtue and freedom tells classic political philosophy from modern political philosophy.Jean-Jacques Rousseau was the political philosopher that stood between classic virtue and modern freedom.On one hand by virtue he criticized the modern society of science and arts,upon which he has reconstructed the significance of classic virtue;on the other hand,the freedom is the key content of his political philosophy.He signified freedom and equality as the elemental purpose in political society.But the dilemma between freedom and virtue was what he had to face.In short,his true intention was to restore the original goodness in free social condition and the civil virtue matching the classic virtue in the political society in which the classic polis has passed away and the notion of citizen has become an outdated sign.
