哈贝马斯重建历史唯物主义的思想探析

An Analysis of Habermas’ Reconstruction of Historical Materialism

哈贝马斯根据“晚期资本主义”社会发展的新变化,进而提出历史唯物主义已经不适应现代社会的发展,必须进行重建。他通过重解社会进化论、重建交往理论分别对历史唯物主义的两重面向进行了解构,重建了“生产范式”的基本内容,并对“晚期资本主义”社会的危机与问题提出了自己的见解。哈贝马斯对历史唯物主义的重建具有一定的理论价值,他关于语言、交往和进化的理论为我们了解历史唯物主义提供了新的理解路径,但在重建的过程中也陷入了误区,曲解了历史唯物主义的一些观点,他对历史唯物主义“生产范式”的解读实际上背离了历史唯物主义的核心原则。因此,应该坚持对待历史唯物主义的科学态度,在坚持历史唯物主义基本原则的基础上推进历史唯物主义与时俱进。

According to the new changes in the social development of “late capitalism”, Habermas proposed that historical materialism has not adapted to the development of modern society and must be rebuilt. He deconstructed the two aspects of historical materialism by reinterpreting social evolution and reconstructing communication theory, rebuilt the basic content of “production paradigm”, and put forward his own views on the crisis and problems of “late capitalist” society. Habermas’s reconstruction of historical materialism has certain theoretical value. His theories on language, communication and evolution provide us with a new understanding path to understand historical materialism, but in the process of reconstruction, he also fell into misunderstandings and distorted some viewpoints of historical materialism. His interpretation of the “production paradigm” of historical materialism actually deviates from the core principles of historical materialism. Therefore, we should adhere to the scientific attitude towards historical materialism and promote historical materialism with the times on the basis of adhering to the basic principles of historical materialism.
