Abstract: Müller's definition of populism is fraught with confusion by excluding what scholars typically identify as leftwing populism in Europe and the United States, and the populist label tailored for the emerging rightwing conservatives who are the very antithesis of mainstream (leftwing) populism. He endeavored to find a unified and unique criterion of populism and negates some standard features frequently used by academic circles through the exclusion method. However, the highly narrowed definition of populism that he obtained by this method remained to intersect with other political thoughts, and his empirical evidence for this definition was still disordered. Moreover, his sympathy and support to the leftwing populism that manifests he is a populist accurately.

Key words: populism, conservatism, JanWerner Müller

摘要： 米勒将学界通常认定的欧美左翼民粹排除在民粹主义之外，为新兴的右翼保守派量身定做了民粹主义标签，而新兴的右翼保守派恰是主流（左翼）民粹的对立面，这使米勒的定义充满了混乱。他通过排除法否定了学界通常认定的若干民粹主义的标准特征，力图找到判定民粹主义的统一的和独一的标准，但他通过这个方法得到的高度窄化了的民粹主义定义仍然是与其他政治思潮交叉的，而他对这个定义的经验证明则是脱靶的和混乱的。他对左翼民粹的同情和支持说明他本人正是一个民粹主义者。
