《启蒙辩证法》对虚无主义的反思有两个重要的推进,一是把虚无主义的反思核心从崇高价值的虚无化进一步聚焦于基本价值的虚无化;二是沿着尼采关于虚无主义起源于苏格拉底理性文化、柏拉图主义的思路,更进一步地把虚无主义与荷马史诗关联起来。对个性、自然的否定是导向虚无主义的重要一环,特别是导向底线道德突破的重要一环;信仰对知识的依赖是理性主义文化的必然结果,科学主义对艺术的蚕食以致文化工业体系对艺术再一次的粗暴践踏导致了更严峻的虚无主义。这种虚无主义在法西斯主义和当代消费文化中获得了进一步的展现。
Reflections and Criticism on Nihilism in Dialectic of Enlightenment
Liu Senlin (Shandong University)
Abstract Nihilism in Dialectic of Enlightenment has made important progress on two points. The author’s reflection of nihilism went forward from nothingness of lofty values to that of basic values. Following Nietzsche’s thoughts that nihilism originated from Socrates ’ rational culture and Platonism, the author associated nihilism with Homer’s epic. The negation of individuality and nature took a key step towards nihilism, and especially broke through the baseline of morality. Encroachment of scientism and trampling of cultural industrial system on art have brought more severe nihilism. This nihilism has been further demonstrated in fascism and contemporary consumer culture. The dependence of faith on knowledge is an inevitable consequence of rationalist culture.
Key words nihilism; Dialectic of Enlightenment; Nietzsche; Hawkheimer; Adorno
