多元主义是这样一种信念:事物具有或者本应具有多样性。它为信仰、制度、社会的多样性提供了一种辩护。多元主义首先是一种哲学,认为现实是不能以一种事物或者原理来解释的。同样地,政治的多元主义也认识到社会、制度、以及意识形态在实际中多样化的存在,同时这些多样化是有价值的。本文通过对多元主义国家理论的三种典型模式,进行深入分析,试图解释多元主义国家理论的内涵与实质。 Pluralism is the belief that things have or should have been diverse. It provides a defense of faith, institution, and social diversity. Pluralism is, above all, a philosophy which holds that reality can not be explained by a single thing or principle. Similarly, political pluralism recognizes the existence of social, institutional, and ideological diversity in practice, and these diversifications are valuable. By analyzing the three typical models of the theory of pluralism, this article tries to explain the connotation and essence of the theory of pluralism.
