现代性视域下的后形而上学

在形而上学不可避免的衰落时代,如何拯救形而上学,并为形而上学寻找新的合法性基础,是解决现代性困境的一个根本途径。后形而上学的交往理性彻底摒弃了绝对主义,主张后形而上学的基础只能是在不断流动的、暂时的“共识”之中。建设性后现代主义完全走出了对于这种“基础”的迷恋,试图建构新经典形而上学,以此克服现代性带来的两个主要难题:失乡与自然的工具化。而新宗教主张的对于人自身“神圣性”的唤起则与形而上学具有同质性。

Past-Metaphysics in the Perspective of Modernity

In an age when metaphysics is bound to wane,how to preserve metaphysics and seek new legitimate bases for it is part of a fundamental solution to the problem of modernity.Communicational reason of post-metaphysics discards absolutism completely,and holds that the basis of post-modernism lies solely in the ever fluxing and temporary “common understanding.” Constructive post-modernism has come thoroughly out of the addiction to “the bases” mentioned above,and tries to establish new classical metaphysics in order to solve the two main problems which modernity has brought about:the loss of home and instrumentalization of Nature.And the arousing of the divinity about human nature as advocated by the Neo-religion has something congenerous with metaphysics.
