理念与现实:柯尔律治“知识分子阶层”的建构

Idea and Reality: The Construction of Coleridge's Clerisy

英国保守主义政治思想家塞缪尔·柯尔律治晚年提出了"知识分子阶层"的概念,他呼吁知识分子阶层应承担起教育民众的责任,并起到协调大地主阶层和资产阶层的作用。虽然柯尔律治的这种主张并不符合当时的现实境况,只能是一种理论设计,但是却有他的哲学观点和政治主张做背书,也正是在这一背景下,我们才能够理解他的"知识分子阶层"理念的现实指归。

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the conservative political philosopher, had raised the ＂Clcrisy＂ conception in his old age. He appealed to the Clerisy to take the responsibility of educating all people as well as confining and balancing the rights of the flint class and the second class. Unfortunately, the conception he raised did not meet the reality that the Clerisy really faced. So it was just a design in concept. However, we noticed that the Coleridge~ design rooted in his philosophical viewpoints and his political opinions. And we can understand the relationship between the design of Clerisy and its realities in this background.
