Abstract

ABSTRACT All of the major German Idealists perceived a gap between ideals and social reality. Kant sought to bridge this gap through an institutional design that forced self-interest to track the public good. Fichte embraced cultural nationalism, according to which, to overcome the gap between ideals and reality, a nation must revive and strengthen its original culture. Hegel’s solution, in contrast, rests on the idea of ethical habituation. For Hegel, the institutions of a well-designed social order encourage the habits and virtues needed for the successful reproduction of that order. The article reflects on the implications of these contrasts for the prospects of liberal democracy.

黑格尔对民族主义的替代

所有主要的德国理想主义者都意识到理想与社会现实之间的差距。康德试图通过一种制度设计来弥合这一差距，这种制度设计迫使自利追随公共利益。费希特主张文化民族主义，认为一个民族要克服理想与现实的差距，就必须复兴和加强其原有文化。相反，黑格尔的解决方案是建立在伦理习惯化的观念之上的。对于黑格尔来说，设计良好的社会秩序的制度鼓励了成功复制该秩序所需的习惯和美德。这篇文章反映了这些对比对自由民主前景的影响。

期刊介绍： Critical Review: A Journal of Politics and Society is a political-science journal dedicated to advancing political theory with an epistemological bent. Recurrent questions discussed in our pages include: How can political actors know what they need to know to effect positive social change? What are the sources of political actors’ beliefs? Are these sources reliable? Critical Review is the only journal in which the ideational determinants of political behavior are investigated empirically as well as being assessed for their normative implications. Thus, while normative political theorists are the main contributors to Critical Review, we also publish scholarship on the realities of public opinion, the media, technocratic decision making, ideological reasoning, and other empirical phenomena.
