洞穿现代启蒙的神话

On Unmasking the Myth of Modern Enlightenment

启蒙运动是在观念中将人做成主体这样一件巨大的思想事件,它标志着人类主体性的确立。但现代启蒙思想以及关于现代启蒙的话语叙事将启蒙本身神化了。马克思在历史唯物主义的基础上洞穿了启蒙的神话并且通过辩证的批判推进着启蒙原则的实现。面对复杂的现实,不仅需要继承马克思批判启蒙的辩证立场及其成果,而且需要以当代化和中国化的立场辩证地面对马克思的批判遗产,使之成为当代中国实践展开的理论指引。

The Enlightenment was a momentous ideological event in which people were conceptually positioned as the subject,which marked the establishment of the subjectiveness of mankind.However,the modern enlightenment thought and the narratives about modern enlightenment have mythologized the enlightenment itself.On the basis of historical materialism,Karl Marx unmasked the enlightenment myth and advanced the realization of enlightenment principles by dialectical criticism.Faced with the complex reality,we need not only to carry forward the dialectical stance of the criticism on enlightenment by Karl Marx and his achievements,but also to accommodate the critical heritage of Karl Marx in the contexts of the contemporary era in China so that such heritage can theoretically guide the practice of contemporary China.
