奥斯维辛之后的道德沉思--从阿多诺“清理过去意味着什么”一文谈起

Moral Contemplation after Auschwitz:To depart from “The Meaning of working through the past” by Adorno

法兰克福学派代表人物阿多诺从奥斯维辛出发展开其道德哲学的思考。无疑,"奥斯维辛"是人类历史发展中的一个灾难性时刻,而"奥斯维辛之后是否能够被允许继续生活"则是阿多诺道德沉思的主题。文章从阿多诺"清理过去意味着什么"(1959/1962)一文出发,从星丛式历史观和与遗忘作斗争的启蒙观入手,阐发阿多诺对法西斯主义的历史性分析及其启蒙诉求。在阿多诺看来,只有重振主体性进而塑造一种在思想上和行动上独立自主的成熟个体,才能使奥斯维辛永不重现。

Adorno,a leading philosopher of Frankfurt School,makes researches of moral philosophy on the basis of Auschwitz,which is undoubtedly a catastrophic moment in the development of human history.It follows that＂whether after Auschwitz you can go on living＂is the theme of Adorno＇s moral contemplation.Based on＂The Meaning of working through the past＂（1959/1962）,this paper explores Adono＇s historical analysis of Fascism and the appeal for enlightenment through his view of constellational history and enlightenment for remembrance.In Adorno＇s view,Auschwitz never appears again only if subjectivity can be strengthened and individual be autonomous and mature in thinking and action.
