“社会病理学”:霍耐特视阈中的社会哲学

承认理论是霍耐特的政治哲学、道德哲学的核心。阐发批判理论的承认理论转向的必要性,是霍耐特创立承认理论的前提;而对社会哲学进行反思与重构,则是阐发批判理论的承认理论转向的必要性的前提。在考察社会哲学的传统与现状的基础上,霍耐特在现代性悖谬批判的意义上,将社会哲学界定为社会病理学;并认为只有在这一意义上,才能说卢梭是社会哲学的奠基人。作为社会病理学的社会哲学,在19世纪,经由黑格尔、马克思到尼采才得以真正形成。20世纪社会哲学发展,从卢卡奇到阿多尔诺、从普莱斯纳到阿伦特,是历史哲学路径与人类学路径此消彼长的过程。其中,内含着人类学路径向历史哲学路径的挑战。然而,社会哲学的未来发展,并非像霍耐特所说的那样,完全依赖于形式伦理构想。
