现代性的偏执——《启蒙辩证法》的生态文明理路

The Paranoid Feature of Modernity——Ecological Civilization's Internal Development Logic in Dialectic of Enlightenment

《启蒙辩证法》蕴藏着丰富的生态文明思想理论。它将当代生态危机的根源归罪于理性形而上学,而不是资本主义价值增值逻辑。启蒙理性向工具理性蜕化的历史进程见证生态文明发展理路。相比马克思的资本现代性批判,工具理性批判理论并没有立足于现实的物质生产活动,因此未能为社会指出一条实现自然解放和人类自由的有效路径。尽管如此,《启蒙辩证法》中许多关于生态发展的真知灼见,仍然可以为我国生态文明建设提供重要启示。

There exist rich ideas of ecological civilization in Dialectic of Enlightenment. It holds that modern ecological crisis results from rational metaphysics, not capitalism value-added logic. The historical evolution from enlightenment rationality to instrumental rationality is the witness of the ecological civilization＇s internal development logic. In contrast to Marx＇s critique of capitalist modernity,critical theory of instrumental rationality isn＇t based on the actual material production practice. Therefore it doesn＇t show us an effective approach to natural liberation and human freedom. Nevertheless,many correct and penetrating views about eco-development in Dialectic of Enlightenment have important inspirations for the construction of ecological civilization in China.
