重审马克思主义的“规范性”命题

On the Normative Elements of Marxism

本文探讨了马克思主义理论的规范结构与历史唯物主义是否具有逻辑的一致性。马克思主义最基本的两个要素是历史唯物主义和无剥削社会的正义观。本文认为,这两个要素之间并不能相互融合;要使马克思主义的规范结构在逻辑上保持一致,凡是持有此种解释性构建的想法,必然会遇到棘手的困难。

This article is concerned with the normative structure underlying the Marxist doctrine and its logical consistency.Two of the most fundamental elements of Marxism are historical materialism and the idea of justice underlying an exploitation-free society.It is argued in the paper that these two elements do not cohere with each other;and that the construction of an interpretation that would make the normative structure underlying Marxism logically consistent poses intractable difficulties.
