现代非理性主义的本质及其主要形态

The Essence of Contemporary Irrationalism and Its Main Forms

非理性主义源于对近代理性主义文化的反叛 ,它是西方现代文化的重要标志之一。现代非理性主义首先将人看做非理性的实体 ,同时强调非理性方法的重要性 ,贬低、限制理性的作用 ;在真理观等问题上也坚持非理性的标准。非理性包括感觉、直觉、本能、情绪、情感、信仰、审美、生存和发展需要等内容。

Irrationalism, as one of crucial marks in the western modern culture, originates from a rebellion against the modern rationalist culture. Modern irrationalism regards human as an irrational entity, emphasizing the importance of irrational methods rather than the rational functions and holding firmly the irrational criteria in the view of truth and other problems. The irrational includes sense, intuition, instinct, sentiments, emotion, faith, aesthetics, demands for existence and development, etc., which are nearly represented in major schools of modern culture.
