科西克现代性危机理论探析

An Analysis of Kosik’s Theory of Modernity Crisis

东欧新马克思主义者克莱尔·科西克从捷克问题中窥探出现代性的弊端,表明社会中潜藏现代性危机。在《现代性的危机》中,科西克从工具理性造成普遍操纵系统的假象中揭示出危机表现趋同,并且提出其实质是多领域的异化集合体,即政治的异化、科技的异化和人的精神的异化,最后将产生危机的病根归于虚无主义的盛行。探讨和评析科西克的现代性危机理论对人们理解现代性危机的实质,认清人的存在价值,反思现代西方社会具有重要的理论价值。

The Eastern European neo-Marxist Claire Kosik explored the drawbacks of modernity from the Czech issue,indicating the potential crisis of modernity in society.In"The Crisis of Modernity,"Kosik unveils the convergence of crisis manifestations from the illusion of a universal manipulation system caused by instrumental rationality,and proposes that its essence is a multi-domain alienation aggregate,namely political alienation,technological alienation,and human spiritual alienation.Ultimately,he attributes the root cause of the crisis to the prevalence of nihilism.Exploring and evaluating Kosik’s theory of modernity crisis has important theoretical value for people to understand the essence of modernity crisis,recognize the value of human existence,and reflect on modern Western society.
