文化多元主义与后现代主义

Cultural Polyphyletism and Postmodernism

文化多样性一直伴随着人类文明史,全球化不可能导致文化的统一(同质化)。文化多样性蕴涵价值和信仰多样性。社会秩序可奠定于文化多样性背景中的道德共识和民主法治之上。独断理性主义坍塌之后,解构性后现代主义开始流行。解构性后现代主义蕴涵的道德相对主义和虚无主义是有害的。独断理性主义的坍塌意味着欧洲中心主义的破产。为走向世界和平和真正可持续的生态文明,来自不同文化的人们应遵循对话伦理的平等规则,怀着互相学习的动机,进行对话,以达成共识,实现"视域融合"。

Cultural diversity, which contains value diversity and diversity of belief, goes along with the his- tory of human civilization and cannot lead to cultural homogenization because of globalization. Social order is laid on the foundation of moral consensus, democracy, and rule of law in the context of cultural diversity. Deconstructive postmodernism becomes available after the collapse ot! arbitrary rationalism~ however,the moral relativism and nihilism implied in it are harmful. Eurocentrism goes bankrupt with the collapse of arbitrary rationalism. To maintain world peace and sustainable eco-civilization, people from different cultures should make dialogues and reach an agreement and realize fusion of horizons, fol- lowing the fair rule of discourse ethic and the motivation o{ mutual learning.
