摘要
政治功利主义集中体现了功利主义的现实主义面向,并在边沁基于英国经验的现代国家筹划方案中得到了集中的阐述。从规范权力的角度说,政治功利主义与契约论版本的国家哲学相比具有现实主义取向,是调节性而非构成性的规范。从正当性的实质基础上说,政治功利主义通过“大大扩展了平等的程度”,为英国的现代国家转型提供了实质性的正当性论证。政治功利主义为现代国家提供了一种不同于西方契约论传统的国家规范。
Political utilitarianism embodies the realistic orientation of utilitarianism,and has been intensively expounded in Bentham’s modern state planning scheme based on British experience. From the perspective of normative power,political utilitarianism has a realistic orientation and is a regulatory rather than constitutive norm compared with the social contract theory. Concerning the substantive base of legitimacy,political utilitarianism has "expanded the degree of equality greatly" and provided substantial justification for the transformation of modern British state. Political utilitarianism provides a norm for modern states that is different from the traditional western social contract theory.
