上世纪六七十年代,资本主义爆发了严重的经济危机,在经济持续衰退的影响下,西方国家的政治社会领域也出现了动乱。公民意识在日益严峻的生活压力下逐渐觉醒,但传统的官方政治教条与公民的民主诉求背道而驰。于是,一种旨在为广阔公民谋求权利的理论流派日益兴起,这就是参与式民主理论。而麦克弗森是众多参与式民主理论家中独具特色的一位。他认为西方自由主义民主理论存在着不可防止的先天缺陷,为追溯这一弊端产生的根源,麦克弗森回忆了十七世纪英国政治思想开展的历程,总结出了其独具特色的参与式民主理论,成为上世纪最具影响力的政治哲学之一,本文将从三个方面对麦克弗森的参与式民主理论进行梳理。——一方面本文将论述麦克弗森参与式民主理论根底占有性个人主义,以此为理论根底,对自由主义民主的开展历程进行分析。另一方面通过对参与式民主政治的根底和条件的论证,进而进行合理的政治制度设计。最后对麦克弗森理论奉献的局限性进行评价。关键词:麦克弗森参与式民主占有性个人AbstractInthe1960sand1970s,capitalismbrokeoutinaseriouseconomiccrisis.Undertheinfluenceofthecontinuouseconomicrecession,thepoliticalandsocialareasofWesterncountrieshavealsoexperiencedturmoil.Civicconsciousnessgraduallyawakesundertheincreasinglyseverepressureoflife,butthetraditionalofficialpoliticaldogmarunscountertothecitizens'Democraticdemands.Asaresult,aschooloftheorythataimstoseekrightsforthegeneralpublicisincreasinglyemerging.Thisisthetheoryofparticipatorydemocracy.McPhersonisauniqueoneamongmanyparticipatorydemocracytheorists.HebelievesthatWesternliberaldemocracytheoryhasinevitableinherentdefects.Inordertotracetherootcauseofthisshortcoming,McPhersonreviewedthecourseofthedevelopmentofBritishpoliticalthoughtinthe17thcenturyandsummarizeditsuniqueparticipatorydemocracytheory.Asoneofthemostinfluentialpoliticalphilosophiesofthelastcentury,thispaperwillreviewMcPherson'sparticipatorydemocracytheoryfromthreeaspects.Ontheonehand,thispaperwilldiscussthebasisofMcPherson'sparticipatorydemocracytheory,possessiveindividualism,andusethisasthetheoreticalbasistoanalyzethedevelopmenthistoryofliberaldemocracy.Ontheotherhand,throughthedemonstrationofthebasisandcondi...
