Abstract

Abstract This paper explores the connection between Søren Kierkegaard’s concept of despair and W.E.B. Du Bois’ concept of double consciousness. The concepts have been separately argued to share a root in Hegel’s “Unhappy Consciousness,” and further, each notion in part explains the interaction of a person with their culture. The paper seeks to highlight the importance of culture in interpreting Kierkegaard’s despair, and to do so by including a critique via Du Bois that a person’s existence in a culture of oppression potentially impacts one’s relation to oneself, whether that person is the oppressor or the oppressed.

双重意识与绝望:探讨克尔凯郭尔与杜波依斯的关系
摘要本文探讨克尔凯郭尔的绝望概念与杜波依斯的双重意识概念之间的联系。这两个概念分别被认为与黑格尔的“不幸意识”有共同的根源,而且,每个概念都部分地解释了一个人与他们的文化的相互作用。本文试图强调文化在解释克尔凯郭尔的绝望中的重要性,并通过杜波依斯的批评来做到这一点,即一个人在压迫文化中的存在可能会影响一个人与自己的关系,无论这个人是压迫者还是被压迫者。
