《德意志悲苦剧的起源》与本雅明的哲学规划

The Origin of the German Trauerspiel and Walter Benjamin's Philosophical Project

《德意志悲苦剧的起源》呈现了本雅明思想发展中期一个极具独创性的哲学规划,重构这一规划的基本轮廓有助于从哲学层面对这部作品的整体理解。它以“认识批判”为纲领,尝试通过对艺术作品的分析进行跨学科的理论试验,对一个历史时代获得全面和具有启示性的认识。这一规划确立了自己的操作方式,包括对研究材料的拆解重组、对历史起源的辩证视角和通过对前人概念的重新部署来勾勒真理的形态。这一操作过程同时也是哲学批评的书写实践,在描绘出悲苦剧的艺术形式的同时,也检验着哲学思考与书写的边界。这个哲学规划汇集了思想史众多线索,也在与传统哲学话语的交错中开辟了一条具有独特历史意识的哲学考察路线。

The Origin of the German Trauerspiel presents an original philosophical project in the middle o development of Walter Benjamin's thought,a reconstruction of the outline of this plan will help to comprehend this work from a philosophical perspective.With its own program of epistemological critique,it attempts to gain a comprehensive and illuminating overview of a historical epoch through trans-disciplinary theoretical experiments based on his analysis of art works.This project initiates a methodology oriented operation,including the dismantling and reorganization of research materials,the dialectical perspective on historical origin,and the re-outlining of a shape of truth through the redeployment of conventional concepts.The operational procedure is developed with a writing practice of philosophical criticism.While depicting the art form of Trauerspiel,Benjamin's stylistic writing also tests the possible boundary of philosophical thinking and writing.The project,with a unique historical consciousness and interweaving with traditional philosophical discourses,brings together a number of historical clues and explores a guideline of investigation in its own way.
