为世界祛魅——四位一体的现代化进程趋演

Rationalization The Historical Process of Modernity

韦伯在对于现代性的研究过程中,将现代化的历史过程称为理性化。人类在社会理性化过程中达到了为世界祛魅的效果,运用一种推理与计算的工具,否认价值的先在性,从而得出人的主体性、多元价值的存在、价值中立等自由主义的元素,使得自由主义成为现代社会最基本的意识形态和最基本的组织原则。这无疑将社会整体思维、个体行为选择、政府权限演变和价值的整合置入统一的逻辑架构。

Marx Webber called the historical process of modernization rationalization. For the effects of the disenchantment of the world, men used a kind of tools of reasoning and calculation, denying the pre - existence of the value, to pick up the elements of liberalism, such as people＇ s subjectivity, the existence of plaralistic value and so on. There is no denying that the whole thinking of the society, the choices of individual behavior, and the evolution of government authority were integrated into a unified logical framework. Henceforth,liberalism came to be the most basic and fundamental principle of the modern society.
