透过“权力的眼睛”的理性批判思想

A Reason Critique in "the Eyes of Power"

福柯透过“权力的眼睛”揭示了现代社会的权力的普遍性,并断言现代社会实际上是一个“圆形监狱”。通过分析理性霸权地位的发生历史及知识——权力的联系,他批判了理性对他者甚至主体本身的压制,并试图提出一条通过话语政治和生物政治来瓦解、抵抗理性霸权的道路。在主张人的自由和解放问题上,他和马克思有相通之处,但在具体实现道路上,二者又迥然不同。他对马克思的一些批评有不公正的地方。

Using the term of ' eyes of power' , Michel Foucault illustrated universality of power in modern society and affirmed that the modern society is actually a ' panopticon'. By analyzing the developmental history of the domination of reason and the relationships between knowledge and power, he criticized reason for suppressing human itself and attempted to propose a method that resists the hegemony of reason by words politics and biological politics. Although there were certain commonalities between Marx and Foucault on humans freedom and liberation, the latter chose a different realistic path from Marx. Moreover, some of his criticisms on Marx is a little unfair.
