克里斯托弗·凯利教授认为,卢梭是试图复兴古典思想中的好东西的第一位现代政治哲学家。在卢梭看来,民主不是一种工具理性,而是本身即善的价值理性。卢梭深刻思考了什么是最好的生活方式。卢梭与康德的关系和卢梭关注幸福构成了美国卢梭研究的两个重要方面。卢梭最重要的概念是自然之善和生存感。在卢梭那里,哲学与政治共同体的关系是一个很复杂的问题。卢梭的困境在于他试图实现共同体与个体内在生命的同一性,克服社会与个体之间的张力。卢梭研究的适切方法是不要预设任何前提判断,而是只有通过对卢梭文本的整体细读才能发现卢梭思想的当代意义及启示。
Professor Christopher Kelly thinks Rousseau is the first modern political philosopher who tries to revive the good things in classical thought. In Rousseau’s opinion, democracy is not a tool of reason, but rather a value of reason that is good in itself. Rousseau thought deeply about what is the best way of life. Rousseau’s relationship with Kant and Rousseau’s concern for happiness constitute two important aspects of Rousseau’s research in the United States. Rousseau’s most important concept is the goodness of nature and the sense of survival. In Rousseau, the relationship between philosophy and political community is a complex issue. Rousseau’s dilemma lies in his attempt to achieve the identity of the inner life of the community and the individual and to overcome the tensions between the society and the individual. Rousseau study the appropriate method is not to judge any premise, but only through the overall reading of Rousseau text to discover the contemporary significance and inspiration of Rousseau’s thought.
