现代性生存与审美救赎——论克拉考尔思想中的“现代人”形象

Modern Existing and Aesthetic Salvation——On Kracauer’s Concept of“Modern People”

克拉考尔从生存语境、生存状态和生存救赎三个方面展开对"现代人"生存境遇的研究。理性至上导致现代人的感性萎缩,理智取代情感成为行为准则,进而切断了维系情感的纽带,使人们成为孤独的个体,最终导致人生意义的虚空。克拉考尔围绕着"碎片"、"世俗"与"复原",展开了关于现代人生存救赎的思考。在他看来,只有从碎片出发,才能串起历史脉络,把握现实生活。而从"碎片"与"世俗"出发,最终是为了丰盈人们的感性世界,实现"复原物质世界"这一审美救赎旨归。

Kracauer studies the issue of the modern people＇s living circumstances from three aspects, namely the context of survival, the living condition and salvation. Reason first results in modem peo- ple＇s emotional atrophy. Reason takes the place of emotion to become the guideline of modern peo- ple＇s conducts, and thereof cut off the emotional bond so that people become lonely individuals, and eventually leads them to the vanity of the meaning of life. Kracauer studies the salvation of modem people in perspective of ＂fragment＂, ＂secular＂ and ＂recovery＂. In his views, only starting from the fragments can we cascade the historical context and grasp the real life, and starting from the ＂frag- ment＂ and the ＂secular＂, we can realize the redemption goal of ＂recovery of the material world＂.
