生命凝结的形式——本雅明纯语言观

Life in the Form of Condensation——Benjamin Pure Language View

本雅明哲学思考的一个重要前提就是他的纯语言观,其中也蕴含着他对世界、对传统、对现代性的基本态度。本雅明所说的语言的堕落,是从语言和它原先与之直接同一的事物相分离开始的。意味着人开始与自然相分离。而这种语言的堕落在某种意义上也就是本雅明所说的世界的堕落。这种堕落后的世界只有通过弥赛亚的救赎才能最终实现现世的救赎。也揭示出这样一种本质:只因没有希望,希望才给予我们。

Pure language view is the important prerequisite of Benjamin＇s philosophical thinking, which also contains his basic attitude towards the world, tradition and modernity. Deterioration of the language began from the departure of language and its origin, which meant the departure of human and nature. Essentially, this meant the deterioration of the world, which could only been saved by Messianic redemption. The essence could be summarized in one sentence： just because there is no hope, hope is given to us.
