平等,顾名思义是平均相等的意思,用在不同领域其侧重点是不同的,如政治领域,平等指权利义务的相等,而经济领域侧重于经济收入上的平均。平等在当今社会几乎成为人们的一种核心价值观。从古至今,人类从未停止过对平等的探讨和追求。直至今天,对平等价值的判定仍未形成定论。人们始终在思考平等存不存在悖论?盲目的追求绝对平等是否会带来灾难?“平等”同意是一切有志于研究政治领域的学者无法绕过去的话是。关于平等问题的创新研究,不仅启迪着人们的政治思维,而且也为政治践行提供了一种目标价值体系。本文希望能够通过我们的反思提出一种观察和评价政治实践的新视角。本研究在回顾卢梭、思格新等思想家关于不平等起源问题的论述后,结合古今中外的政治实残,着手论述一种由平等引出的悖论——即民主的泛化使得平等流于形式,精英政治的存在不仅平衡了泛化平等,并启迪人们用新的理论视角去看待当今政治。本研究最后也讨论了广泛存在的精英政治的相对合理性,并中肯地对盲目、乃至疯狂追求泛化平等提出批评。 Equality, as the name suggests, is an equal mean, with different emphasis in different fields, such as equality in politics and equal rights and obligations, while the economic field focuses on the average of economic income. Equality in today’s society is almost a core value of people. Since ancient times, humans have never stopped discussing and pursuing equality. Until today, the determination of the value of equality has not yet reached a conclusion. People are always thinking about equality without existential paradoxes. Does blind pursuit of absolute equality lead to disaster? Equal consent is what all those interested in studying politics can not get around. The innovative research on equality not only inspires people’s political thinking, but also provides a kind of goal value system for political practice. This article hopes to come up with a new perspective through our reflection on the observation and evaluation of political practice. After reviewing the theories of the origin of inequality by Rousseau and Szetzig and so on, this study starts with the paradox of equality drawn from the political reality at all times and in all countries - that is, the generalization of democracy makes equality into form The existence of elite politics not only balances generalization and equality, but also enlightens people to view contemporary politics with a new theoretical perspective. Finally, this study also discusses the relative rationality of the widespread elitist politics and criticizes critically blind and even insane pursuit of generalization and equality.
