《启蒙辩证法》与社会批判理论——基于文献史和理论史的考察

Dialectic of Enlightenment and Social Critical Theory

霍克海默和阿多诺合著的《启蒙辩证法》是理解法兰克福学派尤其是社会批判理论的一部极其重要的著作。从文献史角度看,法兰克福学派的代表人物在自己的著作中都回应或批判了《启蒙辩证法》,丰富了社会批判理论研究的理论资源,且都没有回避《启蒙辩证法》的影响;从社会批判理论的理论史角度看,他们反思了《启蒙辩证法》的不足,拓展了社会批判理论的主题,甚至实现了范式转向。

Dialectic of enlightenment written by Horkheimer and Adorno was a very extremely important book to understand Frankfurt school, especially the social critical theory. From the perspective of documentary history, almost all the representatives of the Frankfurt school responded or criticized the Dialecticof enlightenment in their works, which enriched the theoretical resources of social critical theory researchand they did not avoid the influence of Dialectic of enlightenment. From the perspective of the theoreticalhistory of social critical theory, they reflected on the deficiency of Dialectic of enlightenment, expanded thetheme and even realized the paradigm shift of social critical theory.
