政治的一大难题是调和对于统治精英的要求和对于同意的要求。作为现代性的先驱，霍布斯试图用一个“反精英”的利维坦，取代由“精英”统治的古典政体。由于“统治精英”是个现代概念，为了更好地阐明主题，本文将先辟一章界定古今语境中的统治精英概念及其对于各自政治理论构建的意义。然后，从人的自然平等、对荣誉的改造、对意见的去政治化三个角度，论述霍布斯如何从理论源头上消灭他们、瓦解古典政体，即如何反精英统治。接下来，本文将进一步阐述，在破除古典的金字塔神话之后，霍布斯又是怎样建立了一个主权者方案以避免混乱无序的状态。最后的结语，本文将回归标题中的问题，并大胆猜测，从古典以统治与被统治关系为核心的精英政体，到现代这个中立的、非人化的统一主权者，这一变革进行到极致是否预示着自由主义的无人统治在将来会成为可能。

      A major political challenge is to reconcile the demands of the ruling elite and of the consent. As a pioneer of modernity, Hobbes tries to replace the regime ruled by the "elite" with an "anti-elite" Leviathan. Since the "elite" is a modern concept, this article will first define the concept of the elite in the context of ancient and modern. Then, from the perspectives of the natural equality, the transformation of honor, and the depoliticization of opinions, discuss how Hobbes, from the theoretical source, eliminates the elite and disintegrates the classical regime, that is, how to refute the meritocracy. Next, it will further elaborate on how Hobbes establishes the sovereign to avoid the state of war and disorder after breaking the classical pyramid myth. Finally, I will return to the question of the title, and boldly speculate, from the classical elite regime with the core of ruling and being ruled to the neutral, impersonal and unified sovereign, whether this change to the extreme indicates that the unmanned rule of liberalism will become possible in the future.
