霍克海默与批判理论的早期规划

Horkheimer and the Projection of Critical Theory

霍克海默认为,当时的哲学研究或者体现为一种经验实证主义,或者体现为与经验实证主义相对立的抽象形而上学,马克思哲学的解释也受此影响。批判理论从马克思的新唯物主义出发,强调从社会生活的历史性规定中展开内在的辩证批判,实现人类发展中的自决。要实现这一点,就需要实现一种学科间的融合,重申政治经济学批判意义上的"批判"理念。

Horkheimer thought that the philosophy at his time expressed itself either in empiricism or in Abstract meta-physics.Such explanation influenced the interpretation of Marxism.From the view of the Marx's new materialism,critical theory stressed on the inner dialectical critique based on the historical social life and realized the human freedom.In order to achieve the goal,critical theory should have inter-disciplines fused while reaffirming the critical idea of the critique of political economy.
