ABSTRACT:Recent interest in Raymond Aron has focused on his “Cold War Liberalism,” but he is neither a neo-liberal nor a Hayekian libertarian. Instead, this article will argue that Aron is a “Machiavellian” liberal – that his democratic theory is underpinned by an engagement with Pareto, Mosca, and Michels. First, it will reconstruct Aron’s dialogue with Pareto. Second, it will explore his overlooked sociological writings on the ruling classes. Third, it will extend the thesis of a postwar French “Machiavellian Moment” to the Centre Raymond Aron, and ask in conclusion whether his theory of democracy can still shed light on today.

雷蒙德·阿伦的“马基雅维利式”自由主义

摘要：最近对雷蒙德·阿伦的兴趣集中在他的“冷战自由主义”上，但他既不是新自由主义者，也不是哈耶克自由主义者。相反，本文将论证阿隆是一个“马基雅维利式”自由主义者——他的民主理论得到了与帕累托、莫斯卡和米歇尔斯的接触的支持。首先，它将重建阿伦与帕累托的对话。其次，它将探讨他被忽视的关于统治阶级的社会学著作。第三，它将战后法国“马基雅维利时刻”的论点延伸到雷蒙德·阿伦中心，并最终询问他的民主理论是否仍然可以阐明今天。
