摘要

在过去几年里,学者和公共知识分子对分配正义及其概念引力轨道相关问题的兴趣再次高涨,包括功绩思想和精英社会的邻近愿景。尽管如此,尽管它是机会平等概念的核心,但基于功绩的有利社会地位分配却遭到了一系列反对。迈克尔·桑德尔的书《功绩的暴政:公共利益变成了什么?细致入微地审视了“精英统治时代”,并将精英统治理性作为其关键特征。它将对精英政治遗留问题的详细分析与对其相关的各种缺陷和缺点的深入阐述相吻合。本文旨在考察基于功绩的有利社会职位分配的一些显著特征,以及与这种分配机制相关的主要缺点。引言部分确定了基于功绩的有利社会职位分配的最显著特征。中心部分重构了迈克尔·桑德尔在其著作《功绩的暴政》(2020)中提出的一些论点。结语部分介绍了《功绩的暴政》一书研讨会的动机,以及评论员与桑德尔教授讨论中出现的主要问题。

The trouble with merit
The last few years have witnessed a resurgence of interest among both scholars and public intellectuals over issues associated with distributive justice and its gravitational orbit of concepts, including the idea of merit and the adjacent vision of a meritocratic society. Nevertheless, despite its centrality for conceptions of equality of opportunity, a merit-based allocation of advantaged social positions has been confronted by a range of objections. Michael Sandel’s book The Tyranny of Merit: What’s Become of the Common Good? provides a nuanced examination of ‘the age of meritocracy’ and meritocratic rationality as its key characteristic. It dovetails an elaborated analysis of the troubled legacy of meritocracy with an in-depth elucidation of the various flaws and shortcomings it came to be associated with. This article aims to examine some of the distinguishing features of merit-based allocation of advantaged social positions and the main shortcomings this distributive mechanism has been associated with. The introductory section identifies the most distinctive characteristics of the merit-based allocation of advantaged social positions. The central section reconstructs some of the arguments advanced by Michael Sandel in his book The Tyranny of Merit (2020). The concluding section presents the motivational impulse for the book symposium on The Tyranny of Merit and the main issues arising out of the discussion between the commentators and Prof. Sandel.
