摘要:

马基雅维利《君主论》与《论李维》之间的主题差异,显示了“君主”与“人民”之间存在着“错位”,如何弥合这种“错位”构成了近代以来政治思想中常读常新的“政治难题”。葛兰西以“现代的无产阶级政党”与“民族—人民”之间的统一关系,实现了“君主”与“人民”的可能和解;施米特的“主权决断论”从政治神学出发,重新定位了“创建”与“维护”、“革命”与“秩序”之间的关系;阿尔都塞则将马基雅维利的“政治难题”解读为一种“革命的乌托邦”。在现代中国,马基雅维利的“政治难题”表现为“自由”与“国家”之间难以两全的“悖论”,这个“悖论”构成了百年来中国政治思想交响曲的主基调,至今还是一个亟待突破的思想困局。

Abstract:

The difference between the themes of Machiavelli’s The Prince and Discourses on Livyshows a “dislocation” between the “monarch” and the “people”. How to reduce this “dislocation” has always been a new “political dilemma” since modern times. Gramsci realized the possible reconciliation between the “monarch” and the “people” through the unity between “modern proletarian party” and “nation-people”. Based on political theology, Schmitt’s “sovereignty decision” re-positioned the relationship of “creating” and “maintaining” and that of “revolution” and “order”. Althusser interpreted Machiavelli’s “political dilemma” as a “revolutionary utopia”. In modern China, Machiavelli’s “political dilemma” is expressed as a “paradox” between “freedom” and the “state”. This “paradox” has constituted the keynote of the symphony of Chinese political thought over the past century, and remains as an intellectual dilemma to be overcome today.

Key words: Machiavelli, political dilemma, freedom, state
