Abstract:

This lecture further specifies the terms of the well-known distinction between the civic humanist tradition and the classical republican tradition. While civic humanism regards human beings as essentially political beings for whom political participation is a necessary of aspect of the good life, classical republicanism treats civic involvement as merely a condition for retaining liberty – that is to say, as a means for an end rather than an end in itself.

摘要：

本次讲座试图辨析人文主义和古典共和主义两个不同传统所使用的术语。人文主义将人看作为本质上是一个政治存在者，政治参与是好生活必不可少的部分；而古典共和主义则将公共参与看作是作为实现目的的手段，而不是目的本身。
