集体行动现象一直备受社会科学共同体关注。最近20多年,社会心理学视角开始复苏,进入研究复兴期。19世纪思想家托克维尔的学说近年来受到国外政治学、社会学和舆论学界广泛的关注。基于对公众心态的深刻洞察力,托克维尔提出了“多数的暴政”与“舆论的宗教”概念。他一方面指出极端的平等反而会带来极端的专制,一方面希望从民主社会的内部发掘自由。针对公众舆论问题,他从政治与社会两个层面进行了思考。西方自由主义基本沿循了他政治层面的思路,但是他在社会层面的观点则一直被忽视。托克维尔所预言的庸众社会已成事实,值此之际,他的思想遗产更值得我们反思。
The phenomenon of collective action has drawn the attention of the Social Science Community. In the recent 20 years, the perspective of social psychology has begun to recover and has entered a period of research revival. The doctrine of 19th century thinker Tocqueville has received widespread attention from foreign political sciences, sociology and public opinion scholars in recent years. Based on his profound insight into public attitudes, Tocqueville proposed the concept of “tyranny of majority” and “religion of public opinion”. On the one hand, he pointed out that extreme equality, on the contrary, would bring about extreme tyranny. On the one hand, he hopes to find freedom within the democratic society. In response to the issue of public opinion, he has considered both political and social aspects. Western liberalism basically follows his political thinking, but his views on the social level have been neglected. Tocqueville predicts that the mass society has become a reality, the occasion, his ideological legacy deserves our reflection.
