阿甘本与“神学”

Giorgio Agamben and “Theology”

拉丁词Dispositio(设备)——法语词dispositif(装置、部署)以及英语词apparatus(装置)——最终承担了神学意义上的oikonomia一词所具备的复杂语义。福柯所谈论的dispositifs以某种方式与这种神学遗产联系在一起。从某种程度上说,这些"部署"可以追溯到一种断裂,这种断裂即区分又连接上帝的存在与现实,即一方面是本性(或本质),另一方面是上帝借以管理和治理被造世界的活动。

“The Latin term dispositio,from which the French term dispositif,or apparatus,derives,comes therefore to take on the complex semantic sphere of the theological oikonomia.The‘dispositifs’about which Foucault speaks are somehow linked to this theological legacy.They can be in some way traced back to the fracture that divides and,at the same time,articulates in God being and praxis,the nature or essence,on the one hand,and the operation through which He administers and governs the created world,on the other.”—G.Agamben.
