摘要：

通过对约翰.西蒙斯的著名论文《证成性与正当性》的批判性考察, 分析指出由于“基于同意的正当性观念”过度依赖极端意愿主义的立场, 因而无法(如西蒙斯所声称的那样) 作为国家规范性评价的一个独立维度。因此, 西蒙斯将“证成性”与“正当性”作平行并置的概念区别并不恰当, 其哲学无政府主义论题的意义十分有限, 没有切入当代政治正当性研究的核心问题意识。

Abstract:

The article critically examines some major arguments made by A. John Simmons in his celebrated essay "Justification and Legitimacy." The author argues that Simmons' "consent-based conception of legitimacy", for its relying too much on an extreme version of voluntarism, commits the fallacy of subjectivism that Simmons himself rejects, and consequently cannot be taken as an independent approach, parallel to justification, to normative evaluations of the state, as Simmons claims. The theoretical move that makes distinction and separation between justification and legitimacy is also problematic. In general, "the challenge of philosophical anarchism" does not concern what is at stake in contemporary debates on political legitimacy and its significance should not be overstated.

Key words: A. John Simmons, political legitimacy, justification, consent theory, modernity
