背离还是重构?——重勘巴克豪斯的价值形式辩证法思想

Deviation or Reconstruction?——Reconsidering Backhaus's Dialectical Thought on Value Forms

巴克豪斯认为价值表现为形式的过程就是其辩证运动的过程,但是《资本论》德文第一版和再版中关于“价值形式”的叙述在概念建构和设定上存在一种范畴上的差异,而这一差异削弱了价值形式的辩证叙述,使得拜物教理论更加难以理解。因此,巴克豪斯试图展开以形式辩证法、货币价值论和拜物教理论为导向的政治经济学批判研究,重建价值形式的辩证叙述。然而,巴克豪斯在强调价值形式优先地位的同时,却偏离马克思历史唯物主义的根基,逐步走向了与之相对的形式主义。

Backhaus argues that the process by which value manifests itself in form is the process of its dialectical movement,but there is a difference in the conceptualization and setting of the concept of the"value form"in the first and second editions of Das Kapital,which weakens the dialectical account of the value form and makes the theory of fetishism more difficult to understand.Therefore,Backhaus attempts to reconstruct the dialectical account of the value form by launching a critical study of political economy oriented towards formal dialectics,monetary value theory,and fetishism,but while emphasizing the priority of the value form,Backhaus departs from the roots of Marx's historical materialism and gradually moves towards its opposite,formalism.
