"话语政治"的价值与缺失

哈贝马斯的交往行为理论和话语政治民主模式不仅表达了一个知识分子应有的良知,也在诸多方面为我们展现了人类令人鼓舞的前景;不仅为我们的进一步探索提供了一个新的路径,更在整合共和主义和自由主义的双重优势的平台上,在制度的层面为建构主体间广泛参与和积极互动的民主模式做出了有益的尝试。但是,哈贝马斯话语民主模式在许多方面也失于理想性的虚幻化。把人类之间的关系完全定位于运用语言和平交往的理解和共识上,是理想主义的诉求,也许具有理论上的探索意义,但如何消除人们之间利益上的差异、冲突是相当难的问题,仅仅靠语言沟通,达成共识是难以实现的,时间的无限延长,参与者的不断增多,看起来是实现了哈贝马斯所设定的理想言说情景,但是,这样一方面降低了交往的效率,一方面又增加了解决问题的难度和成本,理想的初衷似乎把交往的环境恶化了,现实的竞争、冲突显然不是一个乌托邦式的浪漫主义的假设的完美情景所能解决的
