邱吉爾論民主嘗云:「The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.」單與個體選民對話,只見得觀點之狹、知識之譾、成見之偏,難免令人對民主失望。然民主之弔詭在於:但凡制度健全,無數偏狹個體之非理性一經聚合,便成為總體之理性。毋怪邱氏復有此言為民主贊:「It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.」
邱氏此說,實亦可見於吾國典籍。《管子‧君臣上》即云:「夫民、別而聽之則愚,合而聽之則聖」。 |
