福柯和哈贝马斯权力创造性思想的比较

A Comparative Study of the Thought of Power Creativity between Foucault and Habermas

福柯和哈贝马斯都论述了权力的创造性。但在创造的对象上,却迥然不同。福柯认为权力创造了主体、社会现象和知识等,哈贝马斯则认为只有交往权力才能产生合法性法律。两者之间的差异除了各自所受的不同思想影响之外,还在于他们各自在权力的创造性问题上有着不同的思考理路。

Both M.Foucault and J.Habermas have discussed the creativity of power. Foucauh insists that power could create social phenomenon,but Habermas thinks that it is only communicative power that creates the legitimate laws.Foucault＇s thought on the creativity of power is from F.W.Nietzsche,while Habermas is influenced by H.Arendt. The key reason for this difference between these two thinkers is mainly due to their own respective mode of thinking. Foucault analysizes the creativity of power from the standpoint of empirism, but Habermas from that of rationalism.
