中国经济的传统现代与后现代问题.pptVIP

Contrary to the faith of Enlightenment philosophers in England and France, reason cannot sustain democracy. Reason alone cannot tame interests, so a society without traditional sources of authority swings from anarchy to repression. To resolve the inner tensions of democracy, there must be an object of authority or loyalty beyond the groups within society. That source of authority can not be justified with rational argument. As Hannah Arendt wrote, The source of authority ... is always a force external and superior to government. . . . This external force transcends the political realm.
