Nevertheless, old arguments of morality, which are coercively made by elite from top down couldnt be accepted by members of democratic society today. The atomizing democratic society is waiting for some new arguments of morality since the end of last century. Amitai Etzioni, the author of The New Golden Rule: community and morality in a democratic society , dedicated himself to advances an integrated theory of community and morality, which still has much enlightenment to this day. In this review, I illustrate the key theses of The New Golden Rule and make some comments to response potential queries. Keywords: democracy, autonomy, voluntarism, new communitarians, new libertarians, equilibrium 民國92年12月10日收稿。民國93年1月15日通過。 * 作者感謝三位匿名評審對本文之批評與指正，而所有文責仍由作者自負。 ** 國立台灣大學建築與城鄉研究所博士候選人，Candidate, Graduate Institute of Building and Planning, National Taiwan University 。 — 73 — 一、前言 關於怎樣的社會才是一個好的社會，自古以來即
