ABSTRACT Foucault distanced himself from Marxism even though he worked in an environment—left French theory of the 1960s and 1970s—where Marxism was the dominant frame of reference. By viewing Foucault in the context of French Marxist theoretical debates of his day, we can connect his criticisms of Marxism to his discussions of the status of intellectuals. Foucault viewed standard Marxist approaches to the role of intellectuals as a problem of power and knowledge applicable to the Communist party. Marxist party intellectuals, in his view, had developed rigid and universal theories and had used them to prescribe action, which prevented work on the sorts of problems that he uncovered—even though these problems were central to the development of capitalism.
摘要福柯虽然在一个以马克思主义为主要参照系的环境中工作,但他与马克思主义保持着距离——离开了20世纪六七十年代的法国理论。通过将福柯置于当时法国马克思主义理论辩论的语境中,我们可以将他对马克思主义的批评与他对知识分子地位的讨论联系起来。福柯将马克思主义对待知识分子角色的标准方法视为适用于共产党的权力和知识问题。在他看来,马克思主义政党知识分子已经发展出了僵化和普遍的理论,并用它们来规定行动,这阻止了对他发现的各种问题的研究——尽管这些问题是资本主义发展的核心。

ABSTRACT From the perspective of sociological theory, Foucault’s concepts of power, power-knowledge, and discipline are one-sided. While Foucault contends that there is no center of power, his account of power remains top-down or structural, missing the interactive and enabling aspects of power. A more balanced view would suggest that all exercises of power include meaningful agency (the ability to do something); social structures (not simply as constraints but as interactive creations); social knowledge (including both reifying truth claims and enabling truth or knowledge); and social-ontological being-in-the-social-world (both as enabling and dominating).
摘要从社会学理论的角度来看,福柯的权力观、权力知识观和纪律观是片面的。虽然福柯认为没有权力中心,但他对权力的描述仍然是自上而下或结构性的,缺少了权力的互动和使能方面。更平衡的观点认为,所有权力的行使都包括有意义的代理(做某事的能力);社会结构(不仅仅是约束,而是互动创造);社会知识(包括具体化真理主张和实现真理或知识);以及社会本体论存在于社会世界中(既作为使能又作为支配)。

ABSTRACT Between 1949 and 1961 (or, arguably, 1966), three interconnected dimensions of Foucault’s early thought emerged. First, the young Foucault offered a Hegelian perspective on Kant’s notion of the transcendental. The a priori conditions of thought, Foucault suggested, both shape and arise from historical experience. Second, Foucault drew on Heidegger’s study of Kant to argue that modern thought rests on the premise of human finitude and embraces a problematic epistemology rooted in philosophical anthropology. Foucault argued that anthropology enabled a vast extension of the scope of possible knowledge predicated on the falsely modest pretense that human understanding is inherently limited, even as it embraced a diminished conception of human existence. Third, Foucault developed a pointed critique of contemporary psychology and psychiatry, maintaining that they fallaciously seek to acquire positive knowledge of human beings, despite the fact the latter are inherently defined by what Foucault called “negativity.” This three-pronged interpretation of the young Foucault allows us to better situate Foucault’s work in intellectual history, to clarify his key arguments, and to grasp the articulation of his youthful and his mature thought.
摘要从1949年到1961年(或者可以说是1966年),福柯早期思想出现了三个相互关联的维度。首先,年轻的福柯对康德的先验概念提出了黑格尔的观点。福柯认为,思想的先验条件既形成于历史经验,又产生于历史经验。其次,福柯借鉴了海德格尔对康德的研究,认为现代思想建立在人的有限性的前提下,并包含了一种植根于哲学人类学的有问题的认识论。福柯认为,人类学使可能的知识范围得到了巨大的扩展,其前提是人类的理解本质上是有限的,即使它包含了对人类存在的一种削弱的概念。第三,福柯对当代心理学和精神病学进行了尖锐的批判,认为他们错误地寻求获得关于人类的积极知识,尽管后者本质上是由福柯所说的“消极性”定义的。这种对年轻福柯的三管齐下的解释使我们能够更好地将福柯的作品置于知识史中,澄清他的主要论点,把握他年轻和成熟思想的表达。

ABSTRACT Historically, many philosophers and social scientists have sharply distinguished between “normative” and “empirical” forms of inquiry. In response, some have called for a re-engagement of these forms of inquiry. Here I offer a novel way of justifying such re-engagement in democratic theory. Drawing on classical pragmatism, I argue that normative democratic theory is a form of practical reasoning, hence inevitably involves empirical inquiry. Thus, in reasoning about what democratic processes ought to look like, we should avoid sharply distinguishing normative from empirical forms of reasoning, just as we should avoid sharply distinguishing theoretical from practical forms of reasoning.
摘要历史上,许多哲学家和社会科学家都对“规范”和“实证”的探究形式进行了尖锐的区分。作为回应,一些人呼吁重新进行这些形式的调查。在这里,我提供了一种新颖的方式来证明这种重新参与民主理论的合理性。借鉴古典实用主义,我认为规范民主理论是一种实践推理形式,因此不可避免地涉及实证探究。因此,在对民主进程应该是什么样子进行推理时,我们应该避免将规范推理形式与经验推理形式区分开来,就像我们应该避免区分理论推理形式与实践推理形式一样。

Laclau’s New Postmodern Radicalism: Politics, Democracy, and the Epistemology of Certainty 拉克劳的新后现代激进主义:政治、民主与确定性认识论

ABSTRACT A timeless critique holds that the radical is animated by a deep sense of certainty that leads to the worst excesses. By distinguishing essentialist and non-essentialist forms of radicalism, Ernesto Laclau offers a “coalitional” form of radicalism that, in effect, responds to this critique. Laclau deconstructs classical forms of radicalism, such as Marxism, to show how one can use some of their formal components, such as dichotomic rhetoric and a notion of utopia, without assuming that their particular content (e.g., the figure of the proletarian or the socialist utopia) entails the permanent abolition of oppression. Laclau’s radicalism enables political actors to build their own radical front by politicizing and creating linkages between issues. Laclau thus avoids the epistemic certainty of classical radicalisms. However, in the interest of politically effective radicalism, he deploys a localized form of certainty that has an ambivalent potential for intolerance and violence.
摘要一种永恒的批判认为,激进派被一种深刻的确定感所激励,这种确定感会导致最严重的过度行为。通过区分本质主义和非本质主义形式的激进主义,埃内斯托·拉克劳提供了一种“联盟”形式的激进主义,实际上是对这种批评的回应。拉克劳解构了激进主义的经典形式,如马克思主义,以表明人们如何使用它们的一些形式组成部分,如二分法修辞和乌托邦概念,而不假设它们的特定内容(如无产阶级或社会主义乌托邦的形象)意味着永久废除压迫。拉克劳的激进主义使政治行动者能够通过政治化和在问题之间建立联系来建立自己的激进阵线。因此,拉克劳避免了古典激进主义的认识确定性。然而,为了政治上有效的激进主义,他采用了一种局部的确定形式,这种形式具有不容忍和暴力的矛盾潜力。

ABSTRACT The “diversity trumps ability” (DTA) model is often interpreted as a mechanism supporting epistemic democracy. However, as a variety of empirical and mathematical studies have shown, if we attempt to test the realism of the model, it turns out that it points as much toward epistocracy as democracy. This might appear to leave epistocracy with an advantage, since its rationale is not usually thought to rely on the DTA but on the obvious relevance of expertise to making complex decisions. Yet if we apply the same test to epistocracy that we should apply to epistemic democracy—the test of realism—we find that it, too, is unsustainable. This suggests that epistemic democracy and epistocracy alike are indefensible on the basis of the abstract assumptions about diversity and expertise on which the DTA is predicated.
“多样性胜过能力”(DTA)模型通常被解释为一种支持认知民主的机制。然而,正如各种实证和数学研究所表明的那样,如果我们试图测试该模型的现实性,结果表明它既指向民主,也指向民主。这似乎会给官僚政治留下一个优势,因为它的基本原理通常不被认为依赖于DTA,而是依赖于专业知识与做出复杂决策的明显相关性。然而,如果我们对知识民主进行同样的测试——对现实主义的测试——我们发现它也是不可持续的。这表明,基于DTA所基于的关于多样性和专业知识的抽象假设,认知民主和epistocracy都是站不住脚的。

The Technopolitics of Wicked Problems: Reconstructing Democracy in an Age of Complexity 邪恶问题的技术政治:在复杂时代重建民主

ABSTRACT “Complexity” is ubiquitous in contemporary political commentary, where it is invoked to justify innovative governance programs. However, the term lacks analytic clarity. One way to make sense of it is to construct a genealogy of the notion of “wicked problems,” a concept that highlights the intractability of complex problems and problematizes the technocratic management of complexity. The term wicked problems originated in science planning in postwar Germany and urban planning in the United States. In both cases, planners rejected a naïve optimism about the potential of technical expertise in favor of recognizing that many problems transcend the knowledge possessed by experts. This appreciation of complexity led to attempts, still ongoing, to accommodate both participatory and expert-based decision making in the face of wicked problems, producing a form of technical democracy in which problem solving requires the orchestration of conflict.
摘要“复杂性”在当代政治评论中无处不在,它被用来证明创新治理计划的合理性。然而,这个术语缺乏分析的清晰度。理解它的一种方法是构建“邪恶问题”概念的谱系,这个概念突出了复杂问题的棘手性,并使技术官僚对复杂性的管理成为问题。“邪恶问题”一词起源于战后德国的科学规划和美国的城市规划。在这两种情况下,规划者都拒绝了对技术专业知识潜力的天真乐观,而是承认许多问题超出了专家的知识范围。这种对复杂性的认识导致人们在面对邪恶问题时,试图兼顾参与性决策和基于专家的决策,这一尝试仍在继续,产生了一种技术民主形式,在这种形式中,解决问题需要协调冲突。

ABSTRACT A growing body of research suggests that political polarization in the United States is at a forty-year high, and that it is rooted less in disagreements over policy than in hostile attitudes toward political opponents. Such attitudes explain the manifest increase of intolerant behavior in American culture and politics in recent years. But what explains the attitudes themselves? One significant contributor may have been the rise of scientism in the early twentieth century, which undermined the metaphysical, epistemic, and institutional foundations of the type of morality required to transcend our instinctual tribalism.
摘要越来越多的研究表明,美国的政治两极分化达到了40年来的最高水平,其根源与其说是政策分歧,不如说是对政治对手的敌对态度。这种态度解释了近年来美国文化和政治中不容忍行为的明显增加。但如何解释这些态度本身呢?一个重要的贡献者可能是二十世纪初科学主义的兴起,它破坏了超越我们本能的部落主义所需的道德类型的形而上学、认识论和制度基础。

ABSTRACT There is a direct relationship between epistemology and one's attitude toward those with whom one disagrees. Those who think that the truth is difficult to ascertain can be expected, other things equal, to tend to tolerate (in the sense of sympathizing with) those with whom they disagree, as the blameless victims of an opaque reality. Those who think that the truth is easy to ascertain can be expected, other things equal, to tend to be intolerant (in the sense of being unsympathetic) toward those with whom they disagree, who perversely refuse to acknowledge what should be clear to any well-intentioned inquirer. However, these tendencies toward tolerant or intolerant attitudes can be offset by other factors; and they do not, in any case, necessarily dictate whether one will favor tolerant or intolerant policies regarding those toward whom one feels tolerant or intolerant. The complex relationship between epistemology, tolerant or intolerant attitudes, and tolerant or intolerant policies is evident in the thought of prominent early-modern Protestant theologians who, under the pressure of rampant and violent religious disagreement, theorized tolerance.
摘要认识论和一个人对待不同意见者的态度之间有着直接的关系。那些认为真相难以确定的人,在其他条件相同的情况下,可以期望他们倾向于容忍(在同情的意义上)他们不同意的人,作为不透明现实的无可指责的受害者。那些认为真相很容易确定的人,在其他条件相同的情况下,可能会对那些与他们意见相左的人持不容忍态度(从没有同情心的意义上讲),这些人反常地拒绝承认任何善意的询问者都应该清楚的事情。然而,这些宽容或不宽容态度的倾向可以被其他因素所抵消;在任何情况下,它们都不一定决定人们对那些感到宽容或不宽容的人是赞成宽容还是不宽容的政策。认识论、宽容或不宽容的态度以及宽容或不容忍的政策之间的复杂关系在现代早期著名的新教神学家的思想中表现得很明显,他们在猖獗和暴力的宗教分歧的压力下,将宽容理论化。

ABSTRACT Militant democracy calls for pre-emptive measures against political actors who use democratic institutions to undermine or outright abolish a democratic political system. Born in the context of interwar fascism, militant democracy has recently been revived by political and legal theorists concerned about the rise of authoritarian right-wing populists. A long-standing charge against militant democracy—also articulated with renewed force in our era—is that, as a top-down way to deal with the intolerant, militant democracy is inherently elitist and bears uncomfortable similarities with technocracy (also understood as an intolerant form of governance). But while it is true that militant democracy relies on state institutions to preserve democracy, it by no means excludes citizen engagement: “courts or the people” is a false choice. On the other hand, citizens engaged in militant democracy must take on the difficult task of distinguishing very clearly between democratic essentials under threat and political questions about which citizens might reasonably disagree. While citizen assemblies are not the answer to all of contemporary democracies’ travails, they might be very helpful in clarifying such distinctions for wide audiences.
军事民主要求对那些利用民主制度破坏或彻底废除民主政治制度的政治行为者采取先发制人的措施。好战的民主诞生于两次世界大战之间的法西斯主义背景下,最近由于担心威权右翼民粹主义者的崛起,政治和法律理论家复兴了好战的民主。长期以来对激进民主的指责——在我们这个时代也有新的力量——是,作为一种自上而下的处理不宽容的方式,激进民主本质上是精英主义的,与技术官僚(也被理解为一种不宽容的治理形式)有着令人不安的相似之处。但是,尽管好战的民主确实依赖于国家机构来维护民主,但它绝不排除公民参与:“法院还是人民”是一个错误的选择。另一方面,参与激进民主的公民必须承担一项艰巨的任务,即非常清楚地区分受到威胁的民主要素和公民可能有理由不同意的政治问题。虽然公民集会不能解决当代民主国家的所有问题,但它们可能有助于向广大受众澄清这些区别。
