中国启蒙:历史、现状与未来--"新启蒙"与"后启蒙"的对话

如何反思并重建中国启蒙,当下思想界存在着两种对立的观点与思路,即“新启蒙”立场与“后启蒙”立场。其争论的焦点问题有:其一,面对中国现代启蒙思想传统,是建构还是解构?新启蒙论者认为,中国近现代启蒙思潮蕴含着一个自成体系的思想系统,并试图挖掘和再现这一体系;后启蒙论者则否定这一体系的存在,着力批判其理性缺陷。其二是关于当前启蒙研究的方法论问题,新启蒙论者主张思想启蒙与社会运动的“剥离”,并强调对前者内在逻辑的“整合”;后启蒙论者则反其道而行之。其三是未来中国需要怎样的启蒙,新启蒙论者认为必须在继承现代启蒙传统的基础上整合西方启蒙思想资源;后启蒙论者强调要通过反思现代启蒙传统的理性阙如,耐心打造启蒙的底盘。二者的争论有望使论题走向深入。

Enlightenment in China:history,today and future--A converse between new-enlightenment and post-enlightenment

How to recognize and rebuild enlightenment? There are two kinds of viewpoints, i.e. New-Enlightenment and Post-Enlightenment. The 1st question of their argument is that how to regard modern Chinese enlightenment tradition. New-Enlightenment believes that it has a thinking system, while the latter denies this system. The 2nd question is the methodology of study enlightenment. New-Enlightenment emphasizes that we should separate the thinking enlightenment from the society movement, on the contrary is the latter. The 3rd one is China needs what sort enlightenment in the future. New-Enlightenment thinks we should inherit modern Chinese enlightenment tradition and combine Western enlightenment resource. But Post-Enlightenment emphasizes we should criticize the rational defect of modern Chinese enlightenment tradition. The conflicts between them will impulse the thesis into profundity.
