现代性批判视阈中的技术之恶及其终结——论沃勒斯坦重估现代性价值的意义与方法

The Evil of Technology in Criticism of Modernity and its End——On the Significance and Method of Wallestein's Re-evaluation on Value of Modernity

沃勒斯坦区分了技术现代性和人类解放的现代性,认为西方现代性批判运动以技术之恶为借口意欲终结整个现代性,这种做法实质上罔顾了它的内在价值。沃勒斯坦重估并肯定了现代性的价值,这对于我们反思现代性批判思潮和坚定走社会主义现代化道路具有重大的理论启示意义。但是,他基于主观主义方法论立场不可能为人类解放的现代性找到真正的出路。马克思的"世界历史"观以其现实的历史性原则,不但实现了对主观主义方法论的批判,而且也实现了对技术现代性之恶的真正终结。

Wallestein distinguishes between modernity of technology and modernity of human liberty.He holds that western thinkers in criticism of modernity have devoted themselves in ending all of modernity due to the evil of modern technology,and such behavior is seemed to be neglected the inner value of modernity.For this reason,Wallestein reaffirms the value of modernity,which is of great theoretical significance that offers us some inspiration to review the criticism of modernity and to persist in our way of socialist modernization.However,his methodological idealism cannot help him find a road for human liberty.With the principle of reality,Marx＇s theory of world-history not only realizes its criticism on methodology idealism,but also truly ends the evil of modern technology.
