西風東漸以來，我國政治禍亂相循，直到今天，國人對於民主自由的認識普遍不足。相形之下，西方國家民主發展較為穩定，原因之一是西方政治思想比較適合現代生活。基於扶持弱勢原則，西方民眾開車禮讓行人。另一方面，基於保障菁英傳統，絕大多數國家維持麥迪遜等人珍視的不純粹民主（impure democracy），也就是代議民主體制（Westminster model）。

要想終結台灣民主亂象，探討西方規範性論述至為重要，相關論述試圖處理人與自然；人與人；以及人與自我之間的關係，幫助我們適應環境。做為萬物之靈，人們懂得形塑社會組織，經營社會生活，保障生存和提高生活品質。探討西方政治思想能夠讓我們瞭解問題，解決問題，形塑可欲價值。

Since the beginning of the East China Sea, our country's politics has been in harmony. Until today, the Chinese have generally lacked their understanding of democracy and freedom. In contrast, the democratic development of Western countries is more stable, because one of the reasons is that Western political thought is more suitable for modern life. Based on the principle of supporting weaknesses, Western people started carriages to let pedestrians. On the other hand, in order to ensure the elite tradition, most countries maintain impure democracy, which is cherished by MacDon and others, that is, Westminster model.

To end Taiwan’s democratic affair, it is important to explore Western rule-based arguments. Related arguments are treated by the relationship between humans and nature, man and man, and the self, and help us adapt to the environment. As the spirit of all things, people know how to shape social organizations, run social life, ensure survival and improve quality of life. Exploring Western political thoughts can allow us to understand, solve problems, and shape the desirable value.
