摘　　要：《公共理性与民主理想》一书所构建的公共理性理念,不但具备理论资源回应当代慎议民主理论家提出的许多重要批评,而且被合理地阐发为一种高阶的慎议民主。然而,这种公共理性理念所依赖的自由平等的公民观并没有获得足够的阐发和捍卫,这会导致慎议民主理想的规范性根基不稳,并影响作者对私人自主性与政治自主性的源泉及位阶问题的处理。另外,作者在处理公共理性、重叠共识这两个理念与相互性标准的关系时,出现了一种模糊性以及作了过多的理论退却。Professor Tan Ankui’s new book,Public Reason and the Ideal of Democracy,is the best of recent works that attempt to develop John Rawls’s idea of public reason.The idea of public reason developed in this book specifies a way of political life,that is,free and equal citizens reasoning publicly in accordance with the criterion of reciprocity to formulate public reasons in mutual political justification.For this reason,this book argues that,pace the standard view,the political regulated by the idea of public reason is essentially a higher order deliberative democracy.Nevertheless,it seems like an excessive theoretical retreat for the author to confine the object of overlapping consensus to the criterion of reciprocity itself.Meanwhile,the author owes us a more detailed elucidation for the conception of the citizens as free and equal,which is a presumption of public reason,so that a stronger normative foundation is available for the ideal of deliberative democracy.
