阐释学与政治哲学的公共阐释

Hermeneutics and the Public Hermeneutics of Political Philosophy

为使政治哲学的理论阐释具有公共证成的前景,有必要推进政治哲学的"公共阐释转向"。为此,我们需秉持情境-普遍主义的阐释取向,同时把中国现代政治秩序的建构作为公共阐释的共享视域;这种共享视域内在地要求把意识形态批判与沟通旨趣相结合,并在区分"政治价值观"与"政治价值"的前提下,围绕政治价值观(政治价值的具体规范性要求及相应的制度和实践模式)进行实体性的理论建构。政治哲学的公共阐释,应遵循两个认知性原则:确保阐释立场具有公共性的公道性原则;确保阐释内容具有公共性的可证成性原则。相应地,其在认识论上要求采取"反思性的情境主义"立场,并自觉践习"理性的公共运用",在方法论上要求把政治哲学建构与社会-历史分析深度结合起来。

In order to have a prospect for public justification among the members of pollical community,it is necessary to advance a"turn of public hermeneutics"in political philosophy.For this purpose,the hermeneutic orientation of contextual-universalism should be adhered to,and the construction of China’s modern political order should be considered as a shared horizon of public hermeneutics.Starting from this horizon,it is imperative to combine the critique of ideologies with the communicative interest,and to promote the substantive theoretical buildings revolving around modern conceptions of political values(the viewpoints on the specific normative requirements of modern political values and the corresponding models of institutions and practice),on the basis of the distinction between the"conceptions of political values"and"political values".Two cognitive principles are needed for the public hermeneutics in political philosophy:the principle of impartiality that guarantees the publicity of interpretive stance;and the principle of justifiability that is committed to the publicity of interpretive contents.Accordingly,it entails a stance of"reflective contextualism"and the exercise of"public use of reason"in epistemology,and the combination of politico-philosophical constructions with the sociohistorical analyses in methodology as well.
