[【“反宪政”的荒唐逻辑】耶鲁大学教授陈志武:我们不能把中国过去一百年宪政改革的不成功经历作为一个完整样本来定论,这一百年只能算个观察点。我觉得我们做领导的,稍不注意就容易在方法论和逻辑上出错,说一些让老百姓听起来觉得有道理但实属谬论的东西] (Chen Zhiwu, Yale, FT article “The absurd logic of ‘anti-constitutionalism’”: We can’t view China’s past 100 years of failed constitutional reform as a definitive sample. Those 100 yrs can only be considered as a point of observation. I feel, as leaders, if we are not careful, we can easily err in methodology & logic, and say something that sounds reasonable to common people, when it’s in fact a fallacy.)
