摘要
约翰·斯图尔特·密尔(John Stuart Mill)的《女性的主体》(The Subjection of Women,1869)在过去的半个世纪里受到了很大的欢迎。在对这本书越来越积极的阅读和重读中,有一种批评仍然没有受到质疑:米尔的论点是普世性的。批评者认为,他的分析不仅提出了女性服从和解放的统一轨迹;此外,他们补充道,米尔未能通过坚持抽象的人的观点来承认身份和社会的相互关系。这种解释不符合主体的文本和背景:米尔的法律处方不仅仅是自由主义进步理论的症状。他认为,无障碍地参与社区的公共生活是摆脱妇女习惯化和压迫恶性循环的唯一途径。本文认为,他的结论是基于对英国民族性格、法律历史、社会制度和实践的行为学分析。
Local and Contextual: John Stuart Mill's The Subjection of Women
The reception of John Stuart Mill's The Subjection of Women (1869) has changed considerably during the last half century. In the increasingly positive reading and re-reading of the book, one criticism persists unchallenged: Mill's argument was universalistic. Not only did his analysis posit a uniform trajectory of both the subjection and the liberation of women, critics argue; also, they add, Mill failed to acknowledge the interrelation of identity and society by adhering to an abstract view of persons. This interpretation does not do justice to Subjection's text and context: Mill's legal prescriptions were not merely a symptom of a liberal theory of progress. He thought the unobstructed participation in the public life of the community the only way out of the vicious circle of habituation and oppression for women. This paper argues that his conclusion was grounded on ethological analyses of English national character, legal history, social institutions, and practices.
