弗朗西斯·培根:随笔·摘录 37
弗朗西斯·培根《随笔》· Essays · 领导 · 成长 · 行动 · 学习
Let us now speak of the inconveniences of counsel, and of the remedies. The inconveniences that have been noted, in calling and using counsel, are three. First, the revealing of affairs, whereby they become less secret. Secondly, the weakening of the authority of princes, as if they were less of themselves. Thirdly, the danger of being unfaithfully counselled, and more for the good of them that counsel, than of him that is counselled. For which inconveniences, the doctrine of Italy, and practice of France, in some kings' times, hath introduced cabinet counsels; a remedy worse than the disease.

白话
现在说说咨询的弊端和补救办法。召询和使用顾问时,常被指出的弊端有三个:第一,泄露机密,事情变得不秘密;第二,削弱君王的权威,好像他们本身不够分量;第三,顾问可能不忠,更顾自己的好处而非被顾问者的好处。针对这些弊端,意大利的理论和法国某些国王时期的做法,引入了内阁小圈子咨询;但这是一种比疾病更糟的疗法。因为小圈子更容易结党营私、蒙蔽君主。更好的做法是公开、多元地咨询,并建立制衡。
