德里达与激进的无神论

Derrida and Radical Atheism

2009年,耶鲁大学比较文学专业教授马丁·海格伦德出版了《激进的无神论:德里达和生命的时间》一书,该书一经问世便引起了学界的巨大争论。综观当前德里达研究的成果,学者们大多认为德里达的后期思想发生了'伦理转向'。海格伦德反对这一主流说法,他另辟蹊径,从时间性的角度来重新勾勒德里达的思想轨迹,这为我们提供了崭新的视角。他指出,德里达的思想从未有过断裂,'激进的无神论'思想贯穿其始终。所谓'激进的无神论'是对范导性伦理理想的批判,是向'将临之未来'的敞开,是对'永存'和'绝对免疫'状态的拒绝,是对生命有限性和'自体免疫'状态的肯定。

In 2009,Martin Hagglund,a professor of comparative literature at Yale University,published a book named Radical Atheism:Derrida and the Time of Life,which caused a huge debate in the academic world.Throughout the current results of Derrida’s research,most scholars believe that Derrida’s later thoughts have experienced an'ethical turn'.Hgglund opposed this mainstream statement,and he took a different approach and reinterpreted Derrida’s thoughts from a temporal perspective,which provided us with a new vision.He pointed out that there never was a rupture in Derrida’s thoughts,and the concept of'radical atheism'run through from beginning to end.The so-called'radical atheism'is a critique of the normative ethical ideals and an openness to'the coming of the future'.In addition,it is also a rejection of the concepts of'permanence'and'absolute immunity'and an affirmation of the limitation of life and the'autoimmunity'.
