论后现代政治的虚无主义命运——基于福柯的论述

On the Nihilistic Destiny of Postmodern Politics—— Based on Foucault’s argument

后现代主义者关注实践中人的生存状态,并对新的历史条件下资本主义社会对人的剥削方式作了深入探讨和批判。通过研究福柯的政治哲学,我们发现,其否定传统的权力观代之以全新阐释将确定的斗争主体虚无化;放弃统一的阶级领导强调微观权力的多元化导致反抗力量的弱化;放弃暴力革命转而推崇伦理的生存美学使得人的自由解放成为空想。激烈、决绝的批判并不能遮盖后现代思想家的资产阶级立场,所有这一切都充分揭示了其仅仅幻想的是资本主义社会内部的有限改革,并没有也不打算触及资产阶级的政治统治。因此,后现代政治最终的结局是走向虚无。

The postmodernists pay attention to the living conditions of human beings in the real life and conducted in-depth discussions and criticisms of the capitalist society＇ s exploitation of hmnan beings under new historical conditions. By studying Foucault＇ s political philosophy, we find that its negation of the traditional concept of power is replaced by a new interpretation of the determined main body of struggle ; the resignation of a unified class leader so as to emphasize the diversification of micro power leads to the weakening of rebellious forces; and the abandoning the violent revolution so as to adopt the aesthetics of existenceresults in the freedom and liberty becoming idealism. The fierce, decisive critique does not cover the bourgeois position of the postmodern thinkers, while this fully reveals that it is merely fantasizing about the limited reforms within capitalism, and it does not intend to touch on the bourgeois political rule. Therefore, the final outcome of post-modern politics is toward nihility.
