摘要

在十八世紀蘇格蘭啟蒙的市民社會概念中，經常被解讀是純粹的經濟活動並且不與宗教信仰、公民責任及政治美德有所關聯。本文試圖勾勒出傳統與新生市民社會的概念並說明其間之持續性與差異性，研究趨向著重於市民社會的定義、起源、與功能。前不久，前民進黨主席施明德發動之紅衫軍運動－反貪腐運動，阿扁下台口號以於台灣全島〈遍地開花〉，參加之民眾數以百萬計。有人說，在台灣已生根完成新公民（或市民）運動，但亦有人反對。美國前總統尼克森因水門醜聞事件而自動下台而在台灣面對有弊案貪腐的總統所發起的運動卻處處被阻撓的窘況，其實是乃來自於法令制度規章欠缺所然，真正的市民社會概念尚未根植於台灣，這是未來應努力的方向。

The concept of civil society in eighteenth century's Scotland is interpreted as a pure economic activity, de-linked from religious faith, civic duty and political virtue. In this paper I will try to outline both this tradition and the revitalization of the concept of civil society. Inevitably there is both continuity and change between these factors. So my approach will be from three parallel perspectives: the definitions, causes, and functions of civil society.And with regard this, it is concluded that the case of the anti-corruption movement , called the red shirt mainstream movement 紅衫軍, has shown that law enforcement in regard to anti-corruption and other kinds of systems, such as the Assembly law or the election law in Taiwan needs to be amended--otherwise, civil society will not flourish in Taiwan.
