真理与民主的调和:一种朝向治理型民主的理论路径——兼论戴维·埃斯特兰的认识论程序主义

A Reconciliation of Truth and Democracy: a Theoretical Approach to Governance Democracy——A Comment on David Esteland's Pistemological Proceduralism

  • 摘要: 处理真理与民主的关系是认识论民主理论必须面对的课题。把正确性作为一个必要的目标是民主的应有之义,对民主的认识能力的悲观和对真理的忌惮不应导致对政治的真理否认。民主可被看作是一种发现社会真理的手段,民主实践涉及各种层次的真理,某些独立于程序的客观真理是民主不可以抛弃的。治理型民主可以平衡治理绩效和程序公正的关系,它是一种使得真理和民主相互促进的民主实践形式。

     

    Abstract: Dealing with the relationship between truth and democracy is a subject that epistemological democratic theory must face. Correctness is a necessary value of democracy. Pessimism of democracy's cognitive ability and fear of truth should not lead to denial of political truth. Democracy can be seen as a means to discover social truth, and democratic practice involves truth at all levels. Some objective truths that are independent of procedures cannot be abandoned by democracy. "Governance democracy" is such one that balances governance performance with procedural justice. It will be a democratic practice that makes truth and democracy promote each other.
