民主作为一种国家制度,是国体和政体的统一,而孟子民本思想反对的是封建专制、虐政,并不反对封建君主制;主张君由“天”立,而非民选;虽然主张用人、去人、杀人要考虑“国人”的意见,具有一定的民主因素,但最终决定权仍归属国君而非属人民;主张人治而非法法;根本宗旨或目的是为君而非为民。所以孟子民本思想在本质上并非民主思想。但其与民主思想并不是截然对立的,二者在内容上有一定的兼容性,前者是后者的基础,后者是前者的升华;前者有许多民主性精华,值得后者借鉴。
As a national system, democracy is the unity of the state body and the political body. Mencius’s people-based ideology opposes feudal autocracy and abuse of government and does not oppose feudal monarchy. It advocates that “ Advocating for employment, going to people and killing people should take into account the opinions of the ”people" and have certain democratic factors. However, the ultimate decision still rests with the monarch rather than the people. It advocates rule by people and not by law. The fundamental purpose or purpose is to rule rather than rule For the people. Therefore, Mencius people-centered thinking is not essentially democratic thinking. However, it is not diametrically opposed to the idea of democracy. Both of them have some compatibility in content. The former is the basis of the latter and the latter is the sublimation of the former. The former has many democratic essences that the latter should learn from.
