理性的僭妄与批评的道路

On the Blasphemy of Reason and Path of Criticism

让理性接管世界,使人类从此能够不再臣服于上帝的专制统治,这无疑是启蒙运动的一大贡献。但事与愿违的是,理性的这一胜利随着它成为一种"主义"而走向了它的反面,最终成为阻碍人类思想解放的新的上帝。尽管其中它一度借助于"非理性思潮"的力量试图自赎,但由于这个思潮本质上仍属于理性内部的一种逻辑形态而功败垂成。好在从这对范畴内部的逻辑对抗中,一种新的思想张力悄然形成,这就是"后形而上学"。它的出场不仅为审美现代性带来生机,也为无所事事的当代批评实践提供了一条崭新的路径。事实表明,这场思想史上的革命迄今为止仍在影响着我们的人文事业的建设。因而,对此做出进一步的深入反思仍有其强大的现实意义。

One of the Enlightenment＇s contributions comes from the notion that the world should be governed by reason, thus hu- man is no longer submitted to the autocracy of the God. However, reason, no matter what victory it wins, goes to its opposite side with the appearance of ＂rationalism＂, which becomes a new God to obstruct the liberation of human＇s thoughts. It, once attempted to redeem by the power of ＂irrationalism thoughts＂, failed on the verge of success due to its logic form of internal reason in terms of its thought nature. Luckily, a new tension of thought comes into birth during the logic confrontation in the in- ternal part of these two domains, that is Post Metaphysics, which not only brings vitality to the aesthetic modernity, but also provides us with a brand-new path for contemporary criticism practice. It is shown by the fact that the historical liberation of thoughts has exerted great influence upon the construction of humanistic cause. Therefore, it is of realistic significance to have a deeper reflection upon this issue.
