现代性分化的自主逻辑及内在张力

Autonomous Logic and Its Tension in Differentiation of Modernity

现代性是一个自我分化的过程,这种分化既包含扩张性也包含否定性,现代性通过自身的不断建构、解构和重构而前进,后现代主义不过是现代性分化过程中的一种文化表现。正是现代性分化的内在趋势使我们看到现代性被重构和超越的真正可能性。

Modernity is a process of self differentiation, which involves its expansion and its negation. Modernity makes progress through continuous construction, deconstruction, and restructuring, and post-modernism is a mere cultural expression in the differentiation of modernity. It is the intrinsic tendency of differentiation in modernity that enables us to believe in the real probability of the restructuring and transcendence in modernity.
