摘要
卢梭的公意思想被视为其政治思想的核心,它深植于社会契约论的发展历程之中,具有极其重要的地位。公意思想源于社会契约,具有普遍性、公正性等特征,且与个别意志、众意等概念存在区别与联系。争议焦点在于,激进主义观点认为公意思想会导致“多数人暴政”与极权主义;保守主义观点则强调公意保证公众利益,是民主与自由的源泉。在正当性与现实性层面,公意理论需通过民主决策及法律程序公正来实现,是现代民主政治建设重要思想来源,虽然卢梭的公意思想存在理想化倾向,却有益于实现主权与自由。
Rousseau’s general will is regarded as the core of his political thought.It is deeply rooted in the development process of the social contract theory and holds an extremely important position.The general will stems from the social contract,characterized by universality and fairness,and demonstrates both distinctions and connections with concepts such as individual will and the will of all.The focus of the controversy lies in the fact that the radical view holds the general will will lead to“tyranny of the majority”and totalitarianism,while the conservative view emphasizes that the general will ensures public interests as the source of democracy and freedom.In terms of legitimacy and practicality,the theory of the general will needs to be realized through democratic decision-making and fair legal procedures,serving as an important ideological source for modern democratic political construction.Although Rousseau’s general will demonstrates idealistic tendencies,it is beneficial to realizing popular sovereignty and freedom.
