康德哲学与现代性论争

康德的批判哲学是当今现代性论争的焦点之一。现代性重建派只强调康德哲学中的知性立法的一面 ,而忽视了理性的规范作用。后现代主义则与之相反。其实 ,双方都歪曲了康德有关知性立法和理性规范的论述的本意。康德是要指出知性立法和理性规范是相互制衡的 ,也即互相渗透和互为解放力量的。因而 ,现代性危机的原因不在于现代社会的工具理性化 ,这只是表面现象 ,而在于知性立法和理性规范之间互相制衡的机制遭到了破坏

Kant's Philosophy and the Debates on Modernity

Kant's critical philosophy is the focus of the current debate on modernity. The reconstructionism of modernity only stresses the legislation of rationality in Kant's philosophy while ignoring the normalization of reason. Contrary to it is postmodernism. In fact, both sides distort the real intention of Kant's discourses on reason. The point Kant wants to stress is that there is the disposition of interactions between the legislation and the normalization. And they penetrate into and liberate each other. Therefore, the crisis of modernity is not the result of the instrumentalization of reason, but of the disintegration of that disposition.
