欧克肖特对理性主义政治的批判与重构

Oakeshott's Critique and Reconstruction for Rationalist Politics

理性主义政治不同于政治中的理性,它主要是指近代以来在政治领域居于统治地位的技术理性。欧克肖特对此深入地进行了剖析和批判,提出了"暗示"的政治观,认为政治的运作有别于技术的应用,离不开民族传统和文化背景这块沃土,它需要一种实践的智慧。对这种"暗示"政治的揭示不仅大大地拓宽了人们认识政治合理性的空间,而且为现实的政治摆脱现代性的困境提供了一种新思路。

Unlike rationality in politics, Rationalism in politics mainly refers to the technological rationalism, which has been in the dominating position in political field of recent decades. After a profound anatomy and critical analysis of Rationalism in polities, Oakeshott has put forward a political view of ＂intimation＂. Different from the application of technology, the working of politics cannot be divorced from the national tradition and cultural background, and it needs wisdom of practice. The reveal of this politics of ＂intimation＂ not only greatly opens up the space to understand the rationality of politics, but also provides a new way of thinking for the practical politics to break away from the dilemma of modernity.
