国家是阶级权力关系的缩影——尼克斯·普兰查斯政治哲学核心假设之考查

State as An Epitome of the Class-Power Relations:Exploring Nicos Poulantzas' Central Hypothesis in His Political Philosophy

希腊裔法国结构主义马克思主义哲学家尼克斯·普兰查斯看到了代议民主制在现代国家政治中遭遇的失败,看到了资本主义福利国家危机,重新解读了全球化时代的国家角色。他对当代国家危机的论述不同于福柯、德里达、哈贝马斯、罗蒂等人的论述,他有关"国家是阶级权力关系的缩影"的论断使马克思主义国家理论重获活力,从哲学、政治学和法学等多学科揭示了国家权力关系。先于西方行政管理学界的政府再造运动,普兰查斯是国家角色再造理论的提出者,为理解当代国家角色变化提供了新视角,在当代政治哲学中独树一帜。

Nicos Poulantzas is a French Marxist philosopher of Greek origin. He claims that the representative democracy gets into trouble in modern society, and the capitalist welfare states run into crisis as well. His conception of the contemporary nation state crisis differs from those of Foucault, Derrida, Habermas, and Richard Rorty. He holds that a state is a miniature of class power struggles, and resurrects Marxist state theory.Poulantzasis a pioneer in proposing the changing role of contemporary nation states, even prior to the public sector reforms in western countries. He provides a unique, critical perspective and valuable contribution to contemporary political philosophy.
