马克思在何意义上谈主体间的“相互承认”——从所谓“霍耐特式困惑”说开去

In Which Sense Did Carl Marx Talk about "Mutual Recognition" between Subjects——A topic originating in the so-called "Honneth's puzzle"

黑格尔哲学中蕴含着丰富的主体间相互承认的思想,并对现代社会理论产生了重大影响。霍耐特认为,马克思继承了黑格尔的承认思想,但又将其"还原为劳动而自我实现的维度",从而产生了一个矛盾——以道德动机还是以利益关系来解释社会冲突。霍耐特的这一"困惑"涉及到很多问题,要清晰地阐述这些问题,必须重新分析马克思的问题意识和发问方式,从而厘清其思想的内在逻辑,才能认识马克思的独特贡献。

Hegel s early philosophical thought contains a wealth of ideas on mutual recognition between subjects and has had a significant impact on modern social theories.Honneth holds that Marx had inherited Hegel s thought on recognition,but ＂had reduced this thought to a dimension of self-achievement by labor＂,thus producing a contradiction-whether to explain social confliction by moral motivation or by interests.This puzzle of Honneth is concerned with many important problems.To elaborate these problems clearly, we must re-analyze Marx＇s problem consciousness and his way of asking questions so that we can clarify the inner logic of Marx＇s thought and understand Marx＇s special contribution.
