政治哲学变迁视阈下的现代性发育探析

On the Development of Modernity from the Perspective of Political Philosophy

政治哲学从古典形态到近现代形态发生了至关重要的变化,这些变化既是对现代性发育中重要推动因素的理论凸现,又是现代性进程的直接现实后果。其中,最具有标志性的结果是确立了世俗社会及其自由原则,从而整个社会从古典的“自然性”和中世纪的神性状态进入一个全新的现代性社会。现代性的核心要旨在于经济与社会关系发生的重大变化,从最初的内嵌到独立再到更深的内嵌,经济与政治的颠覆呈现出深度的勾连,展现出现代性的主体特征即经济性。把握此点是深化理解并做好现代性批判的前提和基础。

Evolving from classical form to modern form,political philosophy has occurred several times of crucial changes,which are the motivating factors for the development of modernity,and the consequence of modern society.The most iconic one was the establishment of secular society and the principles of freedom,which promoted the society from old and superstitious to unprecedented and modern.At the same time,the relationship between economy and society has changed significantly,by following a route of being dependent on each other to independent from each other and dependent again.These changes indicate that the main feature of modernity is economic,to some extent,modernity is economic.Grasping this point of view is essential for researching and arguing modernity.
