“关系理性”与真实的“共同体”

"Relational Rationality" and Real "Community"

"主观理性"与"共同感"的矛盾是现代性深层的"二律背反"。现代性的这一深层困境要求哲学对"理性"观念进行深入反省与重建。新型理性既不能是以抽象"共同体"为根据的"客观理性",也不能是以抽象"个体"为根据的"主观理性",而应该是超越二者的"关系理性"。以"关系理性"为基本原则,确立"为他人的主体性"观念,为克服"主观理性"与"共同感"的矛盾奠定了基本的思想前提。哲学对"关系理性"的自觉,既是人的自我理解的深化,也是对哲学的思想任务和价值关怀的一次重新设定。对于中哲、西哲、马哲来说,在推动个人自由个性发展的同时,促进人们之间的联合,在此基础上追求真实的"共同体",应成为其自觉的哲学意识和价值眷注。这构成了中哲、西哲、马哲对话与融合的重要生长点。

The contradiction between subjective rationality and sense of commonality is the profound antinomy of modernity.This underlying predicament of modernity requires that philosophy reflect deeply on and rebuild the concept of rationality.The new rationality cannot be 'objective rationality' based on an abstract 'community,' or 'subjective rationality' relying on abstract 'individuals';instead,it should be a 'relational rationality' that transcends both.The establishment of the concept of 'subjectivity for others' under the basic principle of relational rationality sets down a fundamental intellectual precondition for overcoming the contradiction between subjective rationality and sense of commonality.The philosophical self-consciousness of relational rationality involves both the deepening of self-understanding and the recalibration of the intellectual tasks and value concerns of philosophy.For Chinese,Western and Marxist philosophy,this should involve encouraging interpersonal unity and at the same time advancing the development of the individual's free personality.On this basis,our pursuit of a real 'community' should become a self-conscious philosophical awareness and value concern.This constitutes an important growth point for dialogue and integration between Chinese,Western and Marxist philosophy.
