And I also hesitate to say that foreigners must not have “actual wisdom” to provide applicable plans.Human societies are as similar as they are different.Foreign civilizations may accumulate relatively abundant experiences in certain areas, which can be applied to other societies.And foreigners may also be able to understand the situations of other cultures by many means.It is not impossible that certain foreign projects, under certain circumstances, might be even more workable than certain domestic ones.Native ignorance is not a rare phenomenon.Furthermore, even if not applicable as a whole, a foreign lesson may still be, at least partially, inspiring and educational.Accordingly, we may listen to the foreign voices carefully before we come to our conclusion.This position seems to be more reasonable than unexceptionally assuming foreign opinions to be lacking in “actual wisdom”.
Certainly, foreign theories must be localized according to specific domestic situations.However, the dogmatization of Marxism is not Marx’s fault.The accompanying disasters also cannot justify requiring Marx to shut up.“Do not blame your food because you have a bad appetite.”
If outsiders provide a bad suggestion and then insiders accept, it is the insiders, not the outsiders, that should be blamed and be responsible for any tragic result.
The key point lies in the free speech and personal sovereignty arguments.Everyone, even the outsider, has a right to express his or her opinions.It is the insiders’ responsibility to deliberately consider all the suggestions and make final decisions.
To be sure, “no one can make decision for others.”(Fang, 2002)But I did not believe that Professor Dworkin had such a decision-making power.He did nothing that overstepped his privilege to free speech.What he did were only to attend several workshops and express his views.I cannot possibly imagine that Dworkin intended to put a gun to a Chinese guy and force the latter to run the risks that he would not run.
