This essay is a reflection on the Ukraine war grounded in moral motives to empathetically support an attacked victim (whether at the individual or national level). It entails a critique of the moral abstraction of the geopolitical perspective and an analysis of Putin’s imperial Eurasian ideology, including Dugin’s cultural essentialism and the biopolitical strategies of its implementation. Current calls for peace, ceasefire or diplomacy appear problematic in this light. The need to articulate normative principles orienting negotiations with morally acceptable results becomes apparent, as they both justify the use of effective military means of empathetic solidarity and limit the dangers of an unchecked militarization and bellicose attitudes in this conflict.
这篇文章是对乌克兰战争的反思,其道德动机是同情地支持被袭击的受害者(无论是在个人还是国家层面)。它需要对地缘政治视角的道德抽象进行批判,并分析普京的欧亚帝国意识形态,包括杜金的文化本质主义及其实施的生物政治策略。从这一点来看,目前要求和平、停火或外交的呼声似乎存在问题。显然需要阐明规范性原则,使谈判取得道德上可接受的结果,因为这些原则既证明了使用同情团结的有效军事手段的正当性,又限制了在这场冲突中不受约束的军事化和好战态度的危险。

This article assesses the contribution of a long tradition of critical inquiry to understanding how ‘felt contact’ with the world, in this instance a heating planet and its detrimental impacts, provokes ‘thinking beyond’ its limits to take account of the cosmopolitan potentials created by new planetary conditions. In particular, it examines the contributions of Hegel, Marx, Adorno and more recently Rosa to a critical theory of subjective resonance and reflective learning from encounters with damaged life. It notes the significance of these experiences to new initiatives aimed at forcing constructs of justice to turn more imaginatively towards the implications of embodied contact with climate adversity, and to addressing deepening contradictions between ideals of justices and lived struggles to protect nature and thought’s freedom from domination.
这篇文章评估了长期的批判性研究传统对理解与世界的“感觉接触”的贡献,在这种情况下,一个正在变暖的星球及其有害影响,引发了“超越”其极限的思考,以考虑到新的行星条件所创造的世界性潜力。特别是,它考察了黑格尔、马克思、阿多诺和最近的罗莎对主观共鸣和反思性学习的批判理论的贡献。它指出,这些经历对新举措的意义,这些举措旨在迫使正义的构建更具想象力地转向与气候逆境的具体接触的含义,并解决正义理想与保护自然和思想自由免受统治的生活斗争之间日益加深的矛盾。

The state of theorizing bearing on an explicit, contemporary, critical theory of society is first of all outlined. While contemporary conditions of scholarship are not promising in this respect, the potential of a distinctive critical theory of society nonetheless remains tantalizing. The mostly agreed, even if mostly only implicitly, core architectonic of critical theory is outlined as a foundation, though disagreements persist over the significance of the linguistic turn and context-transcendent versus context-immanent modes of theorizing. On the basis of the outline of the general architectonic, suggestions are made, pointing forward to the articles in the special issue, as to how the contemporary democratic focus of the theory offers inspiration for a more explicit, modern articulation. Such a theory would follow the lead of the first generation, but it would additionally take on board the multiple theoretical as well as social changes that have since occurred.
首先概述了一种明确的、当代的、批判的社会理论的理论化状态。虽然当代学术条件在这方面并不乐观,但一种独特的社会批判理论的潜力仍然诱人。尽管在语言转向和语境超越与语境内在的理论模式的意义上存在分歧,但大多数人同意的,即使大多数只是隐含的,批判理论的核心架构被概述为基础。在概述总体架构的基础上,对特刊文章提出建议,指出当代民主理论的焦点如何为更明确、更现代的表述提供启示。这样的理论将遵循第一代理论的领导,但它还将考虑到此后发生的多种理论和社会变化。

Domination through precarization: From Butler’s humanitarian ethics to Marx’s political economy 不稳定中的统治:从巴特勒的人道主义伦理学到马克思的政治经济学

The key critical idea of Judith Butler’s recent work is ‘differential precarity’: how the same network of social dependency that sustains our existence creates a divide between those for whom it proves protective and enabling and those for whom it implies precarious social existence. Yet the examples Butler analyses present problems not only with how precarization is unequally manifested but how it is rooted in the structures of dependency. Against her intent, Butler reduces systemic problems of dependency to distributive inequalities of precarity. We propose to adapt and enrich Butler’s insight by integrating it into a Marxist framework. The result is a problematization of how capitalist societies are predicated on a productive feedback loop between dependization and precarization. We argue the critical grammar of dependency–precarity helps articulate the latent normative content of Marxism, while the latter advances this grammar beyond the limited envelope of distributivism, offering a critique focused on the nature of dependency and not only its ensuing precarity.
朱迪斯·巴特勒(Judith Butler)最近作品的关键批评思想是“差异不稳定”:维持我们生存的同一个社会依赖网络如何在那些被证明是保护和扶持的人和那些被证明意味着不稳定的社会存在的人之间产生分歧。然而,Butler分析的例子不仅存在着不平等表现的问题,还存在着它如何植根于依赖结构的问题。巴特勒违背她的意图,将依赖性的系统性问题归结为不稳定的分配不平等。我们建议通过将巴特勒的见解纳入马克思主义的框架来调整和丰富它。其结果是资本主义社会如何建立在依赖性和预先依赖性之间的生产性反馈回路上的问题化。我们认为,依赖性的批判性语法——不稳定性有助于阐明马克思主义潜在的规范性内容,而后者则将这种语法超越了分配主义的有限范围,提供了一种关注依赖性本质的批判,而不仅仅是其随之而来的不稳定性。

The triple problem displacement: Climate change and the politics of the Great Acceleration 三重问题位移:气候变化与大加速的政治

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges that human societies have ever faced. After a late start, it is by now rather intensely debated and analysed also in the social sciences and humanities, though mostly through overly generic explanations in terms of an instrumental relation to nature, of capitalist expansion drives or of the human longing for comfort. In contrast, this article concentrates on the socio-political transformations since the middle of the 20th century, which have been referred to as the ‘Great Acceleration’ in the use of biophysical resources and in environmental degradation. It provides an analysis of the socio-political mechanisms that brought the resource-intensive path of social development about, showing how Western democratic societies tended to ‘solve’ difficult social problems by means of a triple displacement: onto other societies; onto nature and the planet; and into the future. As an unintended consequence, this displacement politics led to the globalization of resource-intensive development and to a planetary situation in which, at least as it appears in much of current debate, no further displacement is possible. The article concludes with insights for a more adequate approach to social phenomena of large scale and long duration in social theory.
气候变化是人类社会所面临的最大挑战之一。在起步较晚之后,它现在在社会科学和人文学科中也受到了相当激烈的辩论和分析,尽管主要是通过对与自然、资本主义扩张驱动或人类渴望舒适的工具关系的过于笼统的解释。相比之下,本文集中关注20世纪中叶以来的社会政治变革,这些变革被称为生物物理资源使用和环境退化的“大加速”。它分析了导致资源密集型社会发展道路的社会政治机制,显示了西方民主社会如何倾向于通过三重转移来“解决”困难的社会问题:转移到其他社会;进入自然和地球;并展望未来。意外的结果是,这种流离失所政治导致了资源密集型发展的全球化,并导致了一种全球局势,至少正如目前许多辩论中所显示的那样,不可能再发生流离失所。文章最后对在社会理论中更充分地处理大规模和长期的社会现象提出了见解。

On the relationships between critical theory and secularisation: The challenges of democratic fallibility and planetary survival 论批判理论与世俗化之间的关系:民主易犯错误与全球生存的挑战

This article looks at the contribution of secularisation debates to a critical theory of society. As the relations between the ‘religious’ and ‘secular’ aspects of modern life grow more vexing, it argues critical theory must eschew its previous secularisation-as-progress metanarrative. Instead, processes of secularisation are better understood as those relationships between public and private beliefs and practices that take place at the boundaries between modern society’s commitment to procedural institutions and substantive value commitments. The article then revisits four different understandings of secularisation that, coming from a variety of intellectual traditions, help us redefine it beyond an exclusive focus on institutional religions: normative questions on the rise and decline of autonomous values; temporal questions on the self-positing of modernity as an historical epoch; political questions on the desacralisation of modern sovereignty and practical questions on the non-technological dimensions of technology. This framework is put to the test in relation to the procedural challenge of democratic fallibility and the substantive challenge of planetary survival.
这篇文章着眼于世俗化辩论对社会批判理论的贡献。随着现代生活中“宗教”和“世俗”方面的关系变得越来越令人烦恼,它认为批判理论必须避免其先前的“世俗化即进步”的元叙事。相反,世俗化的过程被更好地理解为公共和私人信仰和实践之间的关系,这些关系发生在现代社会对程序性制度的承诺和实质性价值承诺之间的界限上。然后,文章重新审视了对世俗化的四种不同理解,这些理解来自各种知识传统,帮助我们重新定义它,而不仅仅是对制度宗教的关注:关于自主价值观的兴起和衰落的规范性问题;现代性作为一个历史时代的自我定位的时间问题关于现代主权去神圣化的政治问题和关于技术的非技术层面的实际问题。这一框架在民主不可靠的程序挑战和地球生存的实质性挑战方面受到考验。

Missing dialogue and fractures between the environmentalist and anti-colonial movements are commonly cited issues in building meaningful shared narratives and praxis across these struggles. Fragmentation between various camps of critical social theorists and activist movements have erected barriers to collective mobilisation around social and environmental justice. A broad catalogue of decolonial literature and environmental justice movements opposing extractivism and neo-colonial arrangements have provided models and strategies for ending global patterns of coloniality. Yet, there are still few meaningful links between environmentalist/ecology movements in the Global North and anti-colonial movements in both the North and South. Herein lies the fracture that Malcom Ferdinand’s Decolonial Ecology attempts to address.

The critical theory of society: From its Young-Hegelian core to its key concept of possibility 社会批判理论:从其Young-Hegelian核心到其关键的可能性概念

Responding to a call for systematic contributions on the theory of society, the principle aim of this article is to recover and reconstruct the Young-Hegelian core of critical theory’s theory of the dialectical development of society and, on that basis, to project its creative research-based continuation by analysing its largely neglected key concept of possibility. The acknowledgement of the critical theory lineage’s naturalist, realist and especially idealist features leads this reconstruction to ascribe a central role to certain pivotal concepts that deserve special attention – including nature, the construction of society, evolution, immanent–transcendence and the conceptual conditions or cognitive order of society. A side effect of this theoretical exposition is the exposure in the course of the argument of certain weaknesses often visible in the contemporary articulation of the theory of society in both critical theory and general social theory. Conceptual solutions to those deficiencies are simultaneously presented in a form appropriate to critical theory’s modal-based negative explanatory and positive disclosing critique.
为了回应对社会理论作出系统贡献的呼吁,本文的主要目的是恢复和重建青年黑格尔社会辩证发展批判理论的核心,并在此基础上,通过分析其被广泛忽视的关键可能性概念,投射出其创造性的研究性延续。对批判理论谱系的自然主义、现实主义,尤其是唯心主义特征的承认,导致这一重建将核心作用赋予了某些值得特别关注的关键概念——包括自然、社会建构、进化、内在超越和社会的概念条件或认知秩序。这种理论阐述的一个副作用是,在论证过程中暴露了某些弱点,这些弱点在当代社会理论的批判理论和一般社会理论中都是显而易见的。对这些不足的概念解决方案同时以适合批评理论基于模态的消极解释和积极揭示批评的形式提出。

Social critique and transformation: Revising Habermas’s colonisation thesis 社会批判与转型:对哈贝马斯殖民论的修正

What is critical theory – and what is it not? This essay attempts a new answer to this old question and examines which normative convictions immanent to social reality can be used to describe, analyse and criticise contemporary, global forms of domination that form blockades of social and political participation. The analysis proceeds in a double step, referring both to the critique of society and to the critique of theory that describes society. The basis of this parallel swing is an analysis in which the author makes revisions to Jürgen Habermas’s colonisation thesis and uses the example of housing to show how these revisions which refer to the global perspective, the demarcation between system and lifeworld, the language of critique and, finally, the theoretical mode of an inherent dialectical critique make possible an analysis of the financial and economic sectors as well as everyday interactions. Reading Habermas more dialectically than he probably would himself also allows the identification of potentials for transforming relations of oppression.
什么是批判理论,什么不是?本文试图对这个老问题给出一个新的答案,并考察了社会现实中固有的规范性信念可以用来描述、分析和批评当代的、全球形式的统治,这些统治形成了对社会和政治参与的封锁。分析分两步进行,既涉及对社会的批判,也涉及对描述社会的理论的批判。这种平行摆动的基础是作者对j rgen Habermas的殖民理论进行修订的分析,并使用住房的例子来说明这些修订如何涉及全球视角,系统与生活世界之间的界限,批判的语言,最后,内在辩证批判的理论模式,使对金融和经济部门以及日常互动的分析成为可能。更辩证地阅读哈贝马斯,可能比他自己更辩证地阅读哈贝马斯,也允许识别改变压迫关系的潜力。

Reading Habermas more dialectically than he probably would himself also allows the identification of potentials for transforming relations of oppression.","PeriodicalId":47808,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Theory","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45590723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Noting that Benhabib’s ethical theory has seldom been engaged with by sociologists of morality, this article introduces and interrogates Benhabib’s ethical theory from a sociological perspective. It is argued that Benhabib’s critiques of Enlightenment conceptions of morality complement sociological theories of morality. Her concepts of the ‘concrete’ and ‘generalized’ other and ‘interactive universalism’ can potentially inform recurrent debates in the sociology of morality about the extent to which cultural plurality precludes the possibility of sociologists providing normative judgements, and the extent to which certain features of moral experiences can be taken to be universal. However, Benhabib’s argument that discourse ethics can provide a procedural means to judge between competing moral claims leads her to prioritize the perspective of ‘postconventional’ Western modernism as the means to adjudicate between the moral tolerability of cultural beliefs and practices. This leads her to characterize ‘conventional’ moral systems as subordinate, which succumbs to postcolonial critiques of the role of processes of domination in organizing the validity of moral claims.
鉴于本哈比卜的伦理学理论很少被道德社会学家所涉足,本文从社会学的角度对本哈比卜伦理学理论进行了介绍和质疑。本哈比卜对启蒙道德观的批判是对社会学道德理论的补充。她关于“具体”和“广义”的其他和“互动普遍主义”的概念可能会为道德社会学中反复出现的辩论提供信息,这些辩论涉及文化多元性在多大程度上排除了社会学家提供规范判断的可能性,以及道德体验的某些特征在多大范围上可以被视为普遍性。然而,Benhabib认为,话语伦理学可以提供一种程序性手段来判断相互竞争的道德主张,这使她优先考虑“后传统”西方现代主义的视角,作为在文化信仰和实践的道德宽容性之间进行裁决的手段。这导致她将“传统”道德体系定性为从属的,它屈服于后殖民主义对统治过程在组织道德主张有效性中的作用的批评。
