全球正义讲座第二十三讲 托马斯·霍布斯论荣誉与分散的领导力

ABSTRACT

Leadership and honour are mutually constitutive so that this dynamic relationship fundamentally shapes political practice. This view of honour was familiar in classical thought, with its conception of magnanimity, and modernity, where gloria was considered an important passion for understanding the theory and practice of modern constitutionalism. Yet contemporary scholarship, founded on power and interest tends to neglect the importance of the leadership-honour dynamic. This presentation traces such neglect to one of its seminal sources, Thomas Hobbes's political thought that saw glory as a pathology and sought to extirpate it to secure peaceful and prosperous modern state. It argues that Hobbes adopts many of Machiavelli's insights while rejecting the crucial importance of gloria for politics. It explores the implications of such depreciation of honour for the contemporary understanding of leadership and politics.

荣誉和领导力相互构成，这种动态关系从根本上形塑着政治实践。这种荣誉观在古典思想中很常见，它有“大度”的观念；及至现代，荣耀被认为是理解现代宪政制度的理论及实践的重要动力。然而，以权力和利益为基础的当代学术研究，倾向于忽视领导力和荣誉之间动态关系的重要性。本讲将这种忽视追溯至其开创性的来源之一：托马斯·霍布斯的政治理论认为“光荣”是一种病态并试图根除它，以确保现代国家的和平与繁荣。本讲认为霍布斯采纳了诸多马基雅维利的洞见，但拒绝承认“光荣”对政治至关重要。本讲探讨贬抑荣誉的倾向，对当代理解“领导力”和“政治”的影响。
