批判理论的解放图景

On the Emancipation View of Critical Theory

批判理论虽然继承了启蒙的理性观念和马克思主义的革命意识,但是它也标志着对理性和革命问题的重新反思。不管是将革命使命赋予理论自身还是托付于艺术实践,也不管是寻找新的革命主体还是追求理想的谈话环境,批判理论都是从对现实的分析和认识之中表达社会的激进变化和人的解放兴趣的,这也标志着对马克思主义的反思和重建。虽然批判理论并非统一性的思想,但是批判理论家都有一个更好的世界的构想。它并不仅仅局限在一个虚构的乌托邦上,而是可以变得更为激进,因为理论仍然趋向于具体的社会行动。

Following the rational conception of Enlightenment and Marxist revolutionary consciousness,critical theory holds that the reification of reality in capitalistic society is able to be transformed.As they adopted the analytic frame of capitalistic rationalization by Max Weber and George Lucács,the critical theorists come to be suspicious of the analysis of capitalism by Marx in terms of ＂labor,＂＂class struggle,＂and＂means of production.＂They draw a blueprint of a ＂good society,＂but they do nothing to commit the mission to any specific political practice,and would rather see it as the responsibility of theory per se,i.e.the autonomy and self-reflection of theory.In association with emancipation,they vary in different ways,but also have a succession in their mind.
