事实加速与价值遮蔽:罗萨对现代性的批判

Accelerated Fact and Missing Value:Rosa’s Critique on the Modernity

罗萨认为晚期现代不断加速的趋势导致新异化,但是加速本身不是社会异化的表现,否认加速无疑是否认现代社会的文明成果。事实上,罗萨认为加速本身具有中立性,但晚期现代社会不断加速的事实致使价值难以跟上事实的流变,即事实加速与价值遮蔽之间形成张力结构,从而在时间、历史和社会三个层面产生了现代性的异化。基于此,罗萨探讨了四种流行的解决方案:复活经典现代时期的社会模式,通过政治改良制衡社会的加速与停滞;放弃经典现代时期的社会模式,寻找适应加速的新组织和新价值;刻意减缓或停滞社会的加速,从而破坏晚期现代的高速变迁;利用加速超越加速,借助加速的加速在现实中获取比较优势。罗萨最终寻找到一条可能的共鸣方案,对于反思社会加速中主体的生命体验和价值选择具有积极意义。

Rosa argues that the accelerating trend of the late modern era has led to the birth of new alienation.However,it can't be considered that acceleration is the manifestation of social alienation.Denying acceleration is undoubtedly denying the civilizational achievements of modern society.In fact,Rosa believes that acceleration itself has neutrality,but the fact that the late modern society is constantly accelerating makes it difficult for value to keep up with the change of fact,that is,the tension structure between fact acceleration and value masking is formed,which leads to the alienation of modernity in three aspects of time,history and society.Based on this,Rosa explores four popular solutions:reviving the social model of the classic modern era and counterbalancing social acceleration and stagnation through political reform;Abandoning the social model of the classical modern period,seeking new organizations and new values to adapt to the acceleration;Deliberately slow down or stop the acceleration of society,thereby disrupting the rapid change of late modern times;Use acceleration to surpass acceleration,and obtain comparative advantage in reality with the help of acceleration.Rosa finally found a possible resonant scheme,which is of positive significance to reflect on the life experience and value choice of the subject in the accelerated society.
