民主的自治价值及其边界--达尔对民主价值的拓展及其局限

The Autonomy Value of Democracy and Its Boundary--Dahl's Expansion of Democratic V alues and His Limitations

达尔拓展了民主的自治权利,以自治权利的优先性预设为民主找到了一个内在的本体论基础,重塑了民主主体的价值。同时,达尔把民主自治价值优先从政治领域扩展到了经济领域,甚至是整个社会领域。达尔对民主自治价值的拓展,重塑了民主的价值。但是,我们也应看到,自治权利的优先性预设存在逻辑论证上的障碍,以自治权利及其附带的民主的普适标准统摄相互冲突的领域最终偏离了多元主义的背景。

Robert Dahl expanded the autonomy rights of democracy, and found an inherent ontological basis for democracy based on the presupposition of the priority of autonomy rights, thus reshaped the value of democratic subjects. At the same time, Dahl extended the value of democratic autonomy from the political realm to the economic realm, and even the entire social realm, based on the priority principle. Dahl’s expansion of the autonomy value of democracy has reshaped the value of democracy. However, we should also notice that there are logical barriers to the presupposition of the priority concerning the autonomy rights;the use of the autonomy rights and its accompanying democratic universal standards to dominate conflicting areas eventually deviates from the background of pluralism.
