杜威政治哲学的根本意图在于探索一条从传统哲学所忽视的生活层面上来建构哲学之可能性途径。这一途径又通过他的社会政治哲学特别是其民主理想成为一种新哲学的开展样式。杜威认为传统政治哲学核心问题,即个人当以何种方式去形成社会这一问题是伪问题。真正有意义的问题是何种社会或何种联合形式能够体现出其属人的特性,能够使个人的各方面能力得到最大限度的发挥。杜威不仅强调民主社会应该创造各种条件使个人的潜力得到尽可能全面的发挥,而且强调要相信个人具有参与社会生活所必需的经验和理智水平的能力。
The fundamental intention of Dewey’s political philosophy lies in exploring a possible way of constructing philosophy from the life level neglected by traditional philosophy. This approach, in turn, is the style of development of a new philosophy through his social and political philosophy, especially his democratic ideal. Dewey believes that the core issue of traditional political philosophy, that is, the way in which individuals should form a society is a pseudo-issue. The real question is what kind of society or what kind of joint form can reflect its personal characteristics and enable all aspects of the individual’s capabilities to be maximized. Dewey not only emphasized that democratic societies should create conditions for maximizing their potential as fully as possible while emphasizing the need to trust individuals to have the experience and the level of intelligence necessary to participate in social life.
