摘　　要：顺向思考"民主是什么",是要对民主的理念给予阐释肯定,以便将民主的价值高扬到天上;逆向思考"民主不是什么",则要对民主的狂热进行降温纠偏,从而让民主的理想落实到地上。以李光耀为代表的新加坡政府领导人强调站在实然的立场,力图通过"民主不是什么"的反思去质疑西方的民主原则,以便让理想符合现实。其主要观点包括:(1)民主不是至高无上的目标;(2)民主不是放诸四海而皆准;(3)民主不是人为制造出来的;(4)民主不是只有一人一票。Giving an inverse thought to 'what is democracy' is to reaffirm the definition of democracy so as to hold high the flag of democracy up into heaven. Giving an inverse thought to 'what democracy is not' is to cool down the fever for democracy so as to bring the ideal of democracy down to earth. The Singaporean leadership represented by LI Guang-yao emphasizes an objective stance, and they seek to question the Western democratic principles by reflecting on 'what democracy is not' so as to make ideal reconcile with reality. The main points include:(1) Democracy is not the supreme goal.(2) Democracy does not apply universally.(3)Democracy is not man-made.(4)Democracy does not mean one person one vote.
