摘    要:民主的本义是政治决定权在社会的多数,而不是少数个人、精英集团及其附庸。民主不是空洞的符号,除了规范的意义以外,它更具有某些基本的经验特征。民主要求统治者的合法性建立在被统治者自由表达同意的基础之上。没有公开的自由竞争也就没有民主,而民主的根本日的除了公共决策以外,便是保障公民的自由权利。民主的基础是对人的创造性和能力的充分信任,它提倡教育的多样化、平等化,尊重不同意见。民主的形式也多种多样,西方社会从古代直接民主发展到近现代的间接民主,但并不止干间接民主,而是当前混合形式的民主制。民主的关键在其实质,而不是形式。目前可行的民主实践还是政治民主和作为生活方式的民主。

关 键 词:民主  基本理论  自由  法治

Abstract:Democracy is essentially the rule by majority or by the people, but it is not the arbitrary rule by many, rather, the rule based on consent of the governed upon their free expression. There are some empirical features of democracy. There cannot be a democracy without open and free political competition, and the fundamental aim of democracy is to guarantee civil liberty as well as public policy-making. The foundation of democracy is a trust to individuals' creativity and abilities, so it advocates democratic ways of education. The Western society developed from ancient direct democracy to modern indirect democracy, and to current mixed form of both. The key to democracy is its essential content rather than forms. Currently, feasible practice in democracy is political one and that as a way of life.
Keywords:democracy  basic theory  freedom  the rule of law
