倾听关于启蒙的对话:康德与福柯

Listening Attentively to the Dialogue about Enlightenment: Kant and Foucault

面向21世纪,中国的文化启蒙将受到怎样的挑战,是一个不得不思考的问题。而这一思考必须建立在对20世纪文化启蒙运动反思的基础之上。康德与福柯对启蒙富于当下意识的哲学思考,为我们的反思提供了坚实的理论基点。通过反思和对比,结合中国的文化传统和政治文化特有的权力模式以及知识分子伦理意识的欠缺,使我们认识到中国的文化启蒙,在新的历史文化语境中,向启蒙文化的转型已经成为一种历史的必然。

In 21th century, how China's cultural enlightenment will be challenged is an inevitable question. The consideration of this question must be based upon the reflection on the cultural enlightenment movement in 20th century. Kant and Foucault's philosophical thinking on enlightenment is abundant with consciousness of modern times, which offers a strong theoretic foundation for our reflection. By reflection and comparison, considering China's cultural tradition and power pattern to political culture as well as the intellectuals' deficiency in the consciousness of ethics, we reach the conclusion that under the new context of history and culture, it's historically inevitable for China's cultural enlightenment to be transformed into the enlightenment culture.
