启蒙逻辑的历史嬗变：从培根到霍克海默、阿多诺——基于“知识就是力量”的一个考察

摘要

"Knowledge is power" is the classic proposition of Bacon' s philosophy, the true logic of the Enlightenment behind the proposition. Horkheimer and Adorno regarded Bacon' s proposition for the enlightenment, reflected instrumental rationality and positive knowledge critically, identified historical evolution of the Enlightenment logic, that is, reason back to myth, freedom turns to slavery, the original words of liberation becomes the ideological myth of the capitalist ! In China' s modernization process we should not deconstruct the subjectivity and not overstate the subjectivity, but should locate it dialectically, and reconstruct human subjectivity!%＂知识就是力量＂是培根哲学的经典命题,在其背后蕴含着启蒙之本真逻辑。霍克海默与阿多诺视培根命题为启蒙的主旨,通过对理性工具主义化与知识实证主义化的批判反思,指认了启蒙逻辑的历史嬗变,即理性倒退为神话,自由颠倒为奴役,原本的解放话语沦为资本主义的意识形态神话。在中国现代化进程中既不应彻底解构主体,也不应过分拔高主体,而应辩证看待主体的位置,重构人的主体性。
