Abstract

Jacques Derrida’s lectures on Theory and Practice leave a lot to be desired from the perspective of historical materialism. Yet, one can nonetheless find in them the germ of a genuine understanding of materialism. More specifically, following the systematic use of the word “enigma” in the text, I show that this term serves as the heu-ristic device for articulating an originally Derridean materialism, one which I name “enigmatic materialism,” and which, I argue, is genuinely collective, insofar as it opposes any form of monism. Moreover, this materialism has profound repercussions for the concept of hope developed in these lectures. Hope, from the perspective of an “enigmatic materialist,” becomes a collective endeavour that avoids the pitfalls of solipsistic individualism through the joint effort of the subject and its/the Other.

弹片:雅克·德里达的理论与实践
从历史唯物主义的角度看,德里达的《理论与实践》讲座有很多不足之处。然而,人们仍然可以从中找到对唯物主义真正理解的萌芽。更具体地说,随着文本中“谜”一词的系统使用,我表明,这个术语作为表达原始德里德里唯物主义的hei -ristic手段,我称之为“谜的唯物主义”,我认为,它是真正的集体,因为它反对任何形式的一元论。此外,这种唯物主义对这些讲座中发展起来的希望概念产生了深远的影响。从“神秘的唯物主义者”的角度来看,希望成为一种集体努力,通过主体和他者的共同努力,避免了唯我主义个人主义的陷阱。
