一把插向心脏的刀——论意识形态批判之(不)可能

On the (Im)possibility of Ideological Criticism

这篇论文旨在处理这样一个被思想史尘封的问题:今天,意识形态是否可能?通过论述了重新复兴古典哲学的方案,施特劳斯向当代哲人——更广泛的意义上,知识分子——提供了一个系统性的解决方案,来应对在今天的所谓的“后意识形态时代”中的霸权性意识形态(自由主义)。这篇论文批判性地分析了这一施特劳斯主义方案,并揭示了其理论的内核:犬儒主义。通过重新审视哲学史,这篇论文突出了一个以苏格拉底、康德、拉康为代表的“离奇的”传统,这个传统以一个构成性的空无/缺失/不可能性为核心。根据本论文,这一哲学是在后9·11时代,意识形态批判之唯一的(不)可能的实践。

This paper addresses a question that has been forgotten for several decades in the intellectual history： Is the critique of ideology possible, today？ By formulating the project of reviving classical political philosophy, Leo Strauss provides contemporary philosophers, indeed intellectuals in general, a systematic resolution to tackle the hegemonic ideology （liberalism） in today＇s so-called ＂post-ideological era＂. This paper critically analyzes this Straussian resolution and discloses its theoretical kernel＇, cynicism. By re-exploring the history of philosophy, this paper highlights a ＂strange＂ tradition represented by Socrates, Kant, and Lacan, which centres a constitutive VOID/LACK/IMPOSSIBILITY. Philosophy AS SUCH, according to the paper, is the only （IM）POSSIBLE praxis of the critique of ideology in the post-9/11 era.
