摘要
洞穴隐喻在施特劳斯的政治哲学中具有举足轻重的地位,它既是西方政治哲学的缩影,也是施特劳斯思想转型的缩影。古典政治哲学的处境是柏拉图的第一洞穴,其根本目标是从第一洞穴上升到阳光中;而现代政治哲学的境况是施特劳斯的第二洞穴,其首要任务是从第二洞穴上升到第一洞穴,然后再从第一洞穴上升到阳光中。但是,现代政治哲学的悲剧是,它不仅没有返回第一洞穴,反而深陷第二洞穴。因此,施特劳斯认为,现代政治哲学回归古典政治哲学的唯一途径是,以哲学史为中介,彻底批判传统,恢复传统的原貌。
The parable of cave has a significant role in the political philosophy of Leo Straus in that it is not only the miniature of Western political philosophy, but also that of the reorientation of Leo Strauss in the 1930s. On the one hand, the fundamental goal of classical political philosophy in Plato's first cave was the ascent from the first cave to the sunlight. On the other hand, the primary task of modern political philosophy in Strauss's second cave was the ascent from the second cave to the first cave. However, modern political philosophy failed to accomplish it. Thus, the only way for modern political philosophy to return to classical political philosophy, according to Leo Strauss, is to radically criticize tradition and revive the original meaning of tradition through the history of philosophy.
