启蒙辩证法对现代性的反思困境

The Dilemma of Reflection of Enlightenment Dialectics on Modernity

启蒙辩证法作为对现代性的总体性反思,仍然没有超出现代性的发生场域——商品拜物教。主体性形而上学与传统异化逻辑的二元对立正是启蒙辩证法的精神实质,也是现代性的异化逻辑的表现。启蒙辩证法未必具备自身标榜的总体认知能力,也未必具备对现代性的总体性批判潜力。它仍然没有摆脱现代性的初始矛盾——抽象和具体的矛盾,单纯理性的反思最终必然导向理论的乌托邦形式。

The enlightenment dialectics, as the total reflection on modernity, has not gone beyond the commodity fetishism the field in which the modernity arises. The antinomy between the traditional theory of alienation and the metaphysics of subjectivity is the essential of spirit of enlightenment dialectics and the alienated logical exhibition of modernity. The enlightenment dialectics has neither the power of total cognition nor the critical potential as good as it self-praise. It has not broken away from the original inconsistency of modernity yet, the antinomy between abstract and materiality, so the pure rational reflection finally inevitably leads to the Utopian forms of theory.
