齐泽克对毛泽东辩证法思想的阐释与误读

Zizek's Interpretation and Misreading of Mao Tse-tung's “Dialectics”

当代激进左翼政治思想家斯拉沃热·齐泽克在马克思主义思想发展史中重新挖掘了毛泽东的思想遗产。他认为,毛泽东是继列宁之后给马克思主义发展带来转折性影响的伟大革命家,毛泽东主义是一种适应中国语境的理论创新;毛泽东最大的理论贡献在于矛盾论,即普遍性寓于特殊性之中。但是,齐泽克认为,毛泽东没有理解"否定之否定"规律,把这一规律简化为彻底的否定,从而导致了"文化大革命"。作为西方马克思主义者的齐泽克虽然很推崇毛泽东的历史功绩,但是他对毛泽东的唯物辩证法的理解很多是错误的。不过,齐泽克对毛泽东思想的解读不失为我们了解西方左翼和反观自身的一个途径。

Slavoj Zizek,a contemporary radical left wing thinker,revaluates the ideological heritage of Mao Tse-tung in the history of the development of Marxism. He believes that Mao was a great revolutionary who had brought a tuning impact on the development of Marxism following Lenin,that Maoism is a theoretical innovation fit in the Chinese context,and that Mao＇s greatest contribution to the theory lies in the contradiction theory that universality resides in particularity. However Zizek holds that Mao failed to master the＂negation of negation＂rules and simplified them for thorough denial,consequently leading to the Cultural Revolution. In effect,despite Zizek＇s admiration for Mao＇s historical contributions,he misreads Mao＇s dialectical materialism in many aspects. But anyhow,Zizek＇s interpretation of Mao Tse-tung＇s thought offers a new perspective from which we view the western left wing and reflect on ourselves.
