Skinner’s “revisionist republicanism” and Pettit’s “neo-republicanism” are the new emerging paradigms of contemporary republican theory. They both use Cicero’s “theory of res publica” as the main source to construct republican theory. On the one hand, Skinner adopted juristic discourse to construct “revisionist republicanism” in order to reconcile republicanism with negative freedom. On the other hand, Pettit adopted freedom as non-domination discourse to construct “neo-republicanism” in order to make republicanism applicable to contemporary pluralist democracy. However, the two kinds of republican theories suffer from the problem of internal logical contradiction and the theoretical confusion. This paper will use the method of scheme analysis to explain how Skinner and Pettit refer to and change the scheme of Cicero at the same time, which finally leads to two paradigm contradictions and theoretical problems. |
