时代命运的反思——纪念韦伯逝世一百周年

Reflections on the fate of the times:commemorating the centenary of Weber′s death

2020年恰逢韦伯逝世一百周年。百年前,韦伯对我们时代命运的反思在西方现代知识体系的形成过程中发挥了重要的作用。在新康德主义的熏陶下,韦伯思想充斥着现象界与物自体的张力,理想主义与现实主义、价值中立与悲观主义、文明比较与西方中心主义交织起韦伯学说广阔的理论解释空间。韦伯思想最重要的价值是其复杂性理解方式,在资本主义起源问题上坚持文化论与制度论的统一,拓展了经典社会理论对现代社会理解的广度和深度。在中华民族实现伟大复兴中国梦的征途上,在构建当代中国哲学社会科学的过程中,韦伯学说中蕴含的思想与方法仍具有一定的镜鉴意义。

The year 2020 marks the centenary of Weber′s death.One hundred years ago,Weber′s reflections on the fate of our times played an important role in the formation of the modern Western knowledge system.Under the influence of neo⁃Kantianism,Weber′s thought is filled with tension between phenomenal world and object⁃self,idealism and realism,value⁃neutrality and pessimism,and civilizational comparison and Western centrism,which together constitutes the broad theoretical interpretation framework of Weber′s doctrine.The most important value of Weber′s thought is its complex approach to the origin of capitalism that insists on the unity of cultural and institutional theories,which expands the breadth and depth of classical social theory′s interpretation of modern society.In the process of building contemporary Chinese philosophical and social sciences as we are trying to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,the ideas and methods contained in Weber′s doctrine are still highly relevant.
