Description

生活歸生活、政治歸政治

真有其事?

「政治」就是人民所擁有的事務。由暴君或獨裁者管理與政治(politics)無關,而是與統治(rule)有關。──湯姆.巴特勒-鮑登(Tom Butler-Bowdon)

在古希臘文中,Politikos是指雅典城邦的事務,而polis則是管理這座城市的市民全體。從一開始,「政治」就是人民所擁有的事務。隨著時間的演變,政治這個字已經變成意指治理的藝術與科學,或是有關權威與權力的社會關係。

《一次讀懂政治學經典》主要聚焦在政治哲學的面向上,向讀者提問,什麼是好政府?什麼樣的國家形式能為最多人提供最大的利益?什麼樣的社會給人最大的自由、最大的平等機會?這些從古自今發出的問題對當代的我們仍然重要,我們依然需要加以思考。

作者湯姆.巴特勒-鮑登在書中選擇了從林肯(Abraham Lincoln)、邱吉爾(Winston Churchill)、柴契爾夫人(Margaret Thatcher)、霍布斯(Hobbes)、福山(Fukuyama)、盧梭(Rousseau)、馬克思(Marx)與恩格斯(Engels)、鄂蘭(Arendt)、海耶克(Hayek)、歐威爾(Orwell)、孫逸仙、梭羅(Thoreau)、卡森(Carson)到克萊恩(Klein)、伏爾泰(Voltaire)……等重要領導人物或知名學者作家的演說或書寫,試圖為我們提供思考的線索或方向。沒有人可以預測未來的政治前景,但從閱讀書中的內容,我們可以很有信心地說,無論出現什麼其他的觀念,能夠帶來繁榮、和平與自由的觀念就會延續下去,不斷啟發世人。

【好評推薦】

「巴特勒─鮑登以極富感染力的熱情寫作……他是這類型文獻真正的學者。」

──《今日美國》(USA Today)

「精采的集大成之作,作者把複雜觀念變得容易理解而且實用,同時沒有把材料簡化。」

──道格拉斯.史東(Douglas Stone),哈佛大學法學院

「有關一系列重要而長久的議題的複雜觀念,變得很容易理解……讀來充滿樂趣,也很有啟發性。」

──CL田(CL Ten),新加坡國立大學
