论本雅明与波普尔历史哲学思想的同构性

On the Common Views about Historical Philosophy of Benjamin and Popper

一般看来,作为20世纪著名思想家,本雅明和波普尔的学术背景与方法迥异,观点和立场相反前者是马克思的发扬者而后者是其批判者。此类观点仅有最表面的合理性。事实上,二者在历史哲学这个重合的问题域中持有完全同构的观点,这表现为本体论上的反对历史主义普遍叙事,也见诸方法论上的回归当下与注重细微。这种同构性内在并独属于他们二者,不能平庸地替换为相同流派的其他思想家。因此,本雅明和波普尔在历史哲学领域的关系值得重估。同样,对二者思想进行贯通理解的尝试也应在充分评估这种关系的基础上展开。

Generally speaking,Benjamin and Popper are famous thinkers in the 20th century.Their academic backgrounds and methods are quite different,and their viewpoints and positions are opposite.In the broadest sense,the former is the promoter of Marx while the latter is the critic.Such views are only superficially reasonable.As a matter of fact,they hold completely common views in the same field of historical philosophy,which is manifested in the opposition of the general narration of historicism in ontology,as well as the return to the present and attention to subtlety in methodology.This kind of common views belong to both of them and cannot be replaced by views of other thinkers in the same current.Therefore,the relationship between Benjamin and Popper in the field of historical philosophy is worth revaluating.Similarly,the attempt to make a thorough understanding of their thoughts should be carried out on the basis of a full evaluation of this relationship.
