美国以现代共和主义立国,“自由”乃是其根本原则。美国立究所确立的自由政制仍置身于西方政治文明大传统中,同时赋予“自由”新的内涵。本文从政治哲学角度阐明“自治”精神的意义,并结合有关美国立国精神的争论辨析其内在的张力与局限。对共和精神的追求乃是自由政制的生命力之所在,在此意义上,反联邦党人亦有所贡献。
The United States established its country with modern republicanism and its “freedom” is its fundamental principle. The free political system established by the legislation of the United States is still in the large tradition of Western political civilization while at the same time giving new meaning of “freedom ”. This essay clarifies the meaning of “autonomy ” from the perspective of political philosophy and analyzes its inherent tension and limitations in the light of the controversy over the founding spirit of the United States. The quest for a republican spirit is where the vitality of free-form government resides. In this sense, anti-Federalists have also contributed.
