哲学何以安顿权力——柏拉图论权力的来源、根据与运用

How Philosophy Settles Power——The Source,Basis and Application of Platonic Power

柏拉图认为权力的来源是多样的,包括力量之源和智性之源,这两方面的来源中又以后者更为重要。柏拉图认为,个人所获取的权力的正当性,依据在于人的本性、德性与神性,这三者也是层层递进,最终落在神性上,但是人终究不是神,因此在运用权力时必然陷入三方面的两难处境,也就是“权力与正义”“权力与善好”“权力与意愿”的两难。

Plato believes that the sources of power are diverse,including the sources of power and intelligence,of which the latter is more important.Plato holds that the legitimacy of power acquired by an individual is based on human’s nature,virtue and divinity,which are also progressive and ultimately fall on divinity,but human beings are not gods after all.Therefore,when using power,they are bound to fall into three dilemmas:power v.s.justice,power v.s.good,power v.s.will.
