重复的三重变奏:机械复制、数码重复与数字克隆

Three Variations of‘Repetition’:Mechanical Reproduction,Digital Repetition,and Numeric Clone

重复是思想史上的一个经久不衰的主题。只不过,在古典版本之中,重复更多地带有积极和肯定的含义,且将差异纳入自身作为内在环节。但到了机械复制的时代,差异的环节不仅日渐消失,而且重复也日渐成为一种时代的症候和焦虑。现代哲学试图以"生命"和"体验"来对抗机械复制,但当机械复制进一步演变为数码重复这个极端形式之后,这些尝试似乎也日渐失效。由此就有必要如拉鲁埃勒的非哲学那般,首先回归到数码之数字本性,以"一"作为本原和原理来探寻"反数码"的可能性,以及重构主体性的真正位置。当然,拉鲁埃勒关于"一"之为一的思辨仍然还有不足之处,比如"思"之效力到底应该如何实现就是一个难点。我们尝试从代码和思辨实在论的角度进行批判性回应。

Repetition is an enduring theme in the history of thought. It’s just that in the classical version,repetition is more positive and affirmative,and absorbs difference into itself as an internal process. But in the age of mechanical reproduction,the link of difference is not only disappearing,but repetition is also becoming a symptom and anxiety of the modern times. Modern philosophy tries to fight against mechanical reproduction with "life"and "experience",but these attempts seem to be losing ground as mechanical reproduction evolves to the radical form of digital repetition. Therefore,it is necessary to return to the numeric nature of digital as Laruelle’s non-philosophy does,to explore the possibility of"anti-digital"with "One"as the origin and principle,and to reconstruct the real position of subjectivity. Of course,there are still some drawbacks in Laruelle’s theory of one-in-one,such as the difficulty of how the force-( of)-thought should be realized. We try to respond critically from the perspective of code theory and speculative realism.
