摘要
公众舆论能否为立法者提供有价值的信息,立法者又当如何看待并利用公众舆论?长久以来,人们在看待该问题时,缺乏清晰的判断和立场。理性认知公众舆论同民主立法之间的关系,首先需要揭开公众舆论的面纱。恰当理解公众舆论的概念,当从语用学出发。在对'公众''公众舆论'等概念进行历时性考察后可以发现,公众舆论并非大众舆论。公众舆论也不等同于民意调查结果。公众舆论之真不取决于所涉事件之真,而是有赖于反复的、自由的、开放式的商讨。以此检视,当前我国的公众参与立法制度难以发挥凝聚、形成、表达公众舆论的功能,需充分借助互联网技术打造公众舆论的孵化器,促动公众参与立法制度向立法商谈转型,实现立法议程同公众舆论的对接。
Could online public opinion provide valuable information to legislators,and how could legislators make best use of it?The answer to this question has long been controversial due to the misconception about what public opinion means.By clarifying the concept of'public'and'public opinion'and exploring the condition of public opinion within different forms of mass media,this article concludes that public opinion could be only be understood from the perspective of pragmatics.Public opinion is not equal to popular opinion or survey results;The authenticity of public opinion does not depend on the objective experience,but on the repeatable,unconstrained,open-ended discussions.It is difficult to produce reliable public opinion within traditional media;Along with the development of online new media,the precondition for shaping public opinion is achievable.The arising of public opinion indicates that legislators should take positive actions to facilitate the communication between legislation and public opinion.
