摘要

爲因應全球化與資訊社會的急遽發展，多數民主化國家紛紛提出迎向21世紀的公民教育藍圖。但是，當前的民主化潮流卻被批評爲過度向英美自由主義價值傾斜。據此，另一種不同於將民主化窄化爲唯一絕對模式之「後民主化」論述，它也就相形重要。本文之目的即期待將公民教育論述及其問題置諸後民主化社會脈絡進行檢視：首先，以國際公民教育改革之比較爲例，說明後民主化社會下的公民教育現況；其次，進一步說明台灣公民教育理念與實際課程轉化間的立場游移與矛盾等現象；第三，依循公民資質論述立場將之區分二種相對趨向，一個是以傳統自由論、後自由主義、或者多元主義等爲基礎之「先天權利」公民教育觀，另一個則是以傳統共和論或者社群主義爲出發的「以義務爲基礎」之主張。第四、根據二元對立趨向建構公民課程論述與實踐的比較範式。最後，綜合前述觀點，針對「理想公民社會實現的可能性？」之問題，提出研究者認爲應有之整全性理解與圓熟之實踐立場。

Confronting with the rapidly changes of globalizing development, no matter what 21th century ideal of citizenship educations that most of democratizing countries announce continually, the democratizing trend is inevitable criticized to accept Anglo-American's liberalism without reservation. According to this stand, it opposes to take the Anglo-Americantizing mode of democratizing as only definition, on the contrary, it emphasizes its perspective as post-democratizing condition. Under this post-democratic context, there are five different inquiring dimensions in this article: first of all, taking international comparison of citizenship education reforms as example to explain the real situation of post-democratizing society; secondly, arguing Taiwan's swinging position of curriculum ideal and contradict phenomena within school textbooks; thirdly, analyzing the theoretical dialectics of civic education viewpoints, which include ”right a priori” of citizenship discourses (e.g. traditional liberalism, post-liberalism, or pluralism) and ”obligation-based” (e.g. traditional republicanism or communitarianism); fourthly, constructing a basic foundation for appropriate comparison of citizenship education discourses and practices; finally ,rethinking the question of ”dose it have any possibility to realize the ideal civil society?”, and suggesting a kind of wholly understanding and an attitude for deliberating educational praxes in future curriculum reform.
