[Music] practical terms Marxism must be Far and Away the most influential New Philosophy to have appeared in the last 150 years or so and I suppose most of us have a rough idea anyway of what its basic tenets are one could put them I think like this everything that really matters about a society is determined by how it maintains itself in existence because it's what people have to do to keep alive that really decides their relationship to Nature and to each other and therefore ultimately to everything that grows up on those bases so the decisive thing in any society at any given time is what the means of production are when they change people's ways of life have to change and the way individuals relate to each other has to change and thus the organization of classes changes so long as the means of production are in the hands of a section of society rather than the whole of it a deep-seated conflict of class interests is inevitable for this reason the whole of History up to now is really a history of class
[音乐] 就实际影响而言,马克思主义肯定是过去一百五十年左右出现的最有影响力的新哲学了,我想我们大多数人对它的基本主张多少都有个大概的印象,我觉得可以这样表述它:一个社会中真正重要的一切,都取决于它如何维持自身的存在,因为人们为了活下去所必须做的事,才真正决定了他们与自然、与彼此的关系,并因而最终决定了在这些基础上生长出来的一切。所以在任何社会、任何特定时期,起决定作用的是生产资料是什么;当生产资料改变时,人们的生活方式就必须改变,个人之间彼此发生关系的方式也必须改变,于是阶级的组织方式也随之改变。只要生产资料掌握在社会的一部分人而不是全社会手中,深层次的阶级利益冲突就不可避免。因此,迄今为止的全部历史其实就是一部阶级

struggles this is bound to continue until the means of production are taken over by society as a whole thereby abolishing classes in Marx's sense altogether and held in common ownership and run in the common interest the establishment of this new kind of society I.E communism will inaugurate a whole new era of human history which will be different in kind from the past however since no ruling class can be expected voluntarily to give up its ownership of the means of production with not only the wealth but also the power privilege and Prestige which that confers the forceful overthrow of the existing system is likely to be the only way in which Communism can be established and it's therefore if only for that reason Justified well something like that sketch map of Marxist theory is probably as much as most of us possess and indeed as far as it goes it's accurate but there's so much more to it than that Marxism is a rich and Powerful explanatory system whose intellectual history is colorful
斗争史。这必然会持续下去,直到生产资料被整个社会接管,从而按马克思的意义上彻底消灭阶级,并由社会共同占有、为共同利益而运作。这种新型社会——也就是共产主义——的建立,将开启人类历史一个全新的时代,它在性质上将与过去截然不同。然而,既然不能指望任何统治阶级自愿放弃他们对生产资料的占有,以及随之而来的不仅是财富,还有权力、特权和声望,那么以强力推翻现存制度很可能就是共产主义得以确立的唯一途径,因此,哪怕仅仅出于这个理由,它也是正当的。好了,差不多就是这样一幅马克思主义理论的草图,这大概就是我们多数人所掌握的全部;就它所涉及的范围而言,这也是准确的。但马克思主义远不止于此,它是一个丰富而有力的解释体系,其思想史本身就多姿多彩、饶有趣味,同时又对我们生活的世界有着显而易见的实际

and interesting in its own right as well as having an obvious practical influence on the world we live in but in this program we're going to consider Marxism as a philosophy to do so we have someone with us who has a lifelong interest in the subject the Canadian Charles Taylor more than 20 years ago as Chuck Taylor a young fellow of all cells College Oxford he was one of the founders of the new Left movement in Britain since then he's been professor of philosophy and political science at McGill University in Canada has run as a candidate several times for the Canadian Federal Parliament and has published a major book on Marx's philosophical progenitor Hegel now after all these years he's back at all cells as professor of social and political theory in the University of Oxford well Professor Taylor I've started this program by giving a very rough but perhaps overbuild outline of Marx's political and economic theory and what we want to do now is to go into the philosophy that throws these things up
影响。不过在本期节目里,我们要把马克思主义当作一种哲学来讨论。为此我们请来了一位终身研究这个课题的嘉宾,加拿大人查尔斯·泰勒。二十多年前,作为牛津万灵学院一位年轻研究员的“查克”·泰勒,是英国新左派运动的创始人之一。此后他担任加拿大麦吉尔大学哲学与政治学教授,还曾多次竞选加拿大联邦议会议员,并出版了一部研究马克思哲学先驱黑格尔的重要著作。如今,多年之后,他重返万灵学院,担任牛津大学社会与政治理论教授。那么泰勒教授,我在节目开头对马克思的政治和经济理论作了一个非常粗略、也许过于简化的概述,现在我们想做的,是深入到把这些东西推到表面的那套哲学中去。那么你

to the surface as it were now where would you like to begin in discussing that well I'd like to begin pick up a point you made about how it's what you said was right but it's much richer I mean you gave a thumbnail sketch very good thumbnail sketch of Marx's an explanatory Theory but there's also another dimension a theory of Liberation which I think accounts for the immense importance and excitement that this theory has has generated for the last century you can start really from the same point it's that human beings are what they are because of the way they make their lives the way they produce the means to live and they produce the means that live as a society as a as a group not individually so in a way we could look at them just as another gregarious animal like ants or bees but what differentiates them from answer bees Marx holds is that human beings have this capacity to reflect on and change the way that they work on nature to produce the means to life in other words labor in the human sense in Marx's
想从哪里开始谈起呢?好的,我想先接着你说的一点讲下去——你说的都对,但内容要丰富得多。我是说,你给了一个提纲挈领的简述,对马克思的解释性理论作了很好的简述,但还有另一个维度,那就是一种解放的理论,我认为正是它造就了这套理论在过去一个世纪里所激发的巨大重要性和热情。其实你可以从同一个起点出发:人之所以成为他们所是的样子,是因为他们创造自己生活的方式,是因为他们生产生活资料的方式,而他们生产的……意思是人是作为社会、作为群体而生活的,不是单独生活的,所以从某种意义上说,我们可以把人仅仅看作另一种群居动物,就像蚂蚁或蜜蜂那样,但马克思认为,人与蚂蚁蜜蜂的区别在于,人类具有反思并改变自己作用于自然、生产生活资料的方式的能力,换句话说,在马克思看来,人类意义上的劳动包含了反思这一观念,这意味着他们能够

view incorporates this idea of reflection and that means that they can change the way that they interact with nature over time and that is the dimension it's property human that means that over time they can get greater and greater control greater greater capacity to take from nature what they need and to produce the means to human life now this just doesn't just mean that they aren't monotonously stocked like a certain animal species in the same way of doing things all the time but over history they actually get better they actually realize this capacity to control nature to a greater and greater degree in that sense already we can see they become Freer that is with the increase of Technology with their understanding of nature with their capacity to reorganize their their lives human beings become more and more capable of controlling the way in which they interact with nature and is part of the point here that a man in his most primitive State when he's literally emerging from the animal state is
随着时间改变自己与自然互动的方式,而这正是那个维度,是人所特有的属性,这意味着随着时间推移,他们能够获得越来越大的控制力,越来越强的能力,从自然中获取所需,去生产人类生活的资料。这不仅仅意味着他们不像某些动物物种那样单调地固守着同一种做事方式,始终如一;而是在历史进程中他们确实变得更好,他们确实把控制自然的这种能力实现到越来越高的程度。从这个意义上说,我们已经可以看到他们变得更自由了,也就是说,随着技术的进步、随着他们对自然的理解、随着他们重新组织自己生活的能力,人类变得越来越有能力控制自己与自然互动的方式。这里的意思是否部分在于:人在最原始的状态下,当他真的刚从动物状态中脱胎而出时,实际上是被自然奴役的,他受制于一切自然力量,也就是

virtually enslaved by Nature he's subject to all the natural forces the realm of Realm of Necessities the way that Marx uses for this very much and that the historical process can be seen as the process of of self-liberation from this enslavement to nature which is conversely if you like the process of the conquest of nature that we are more and more mastering our material environment is that that is the now what makes Marxism a very interesting and Rich theory is that there's another as they were Wing to this that as we as man progresses in history and nature something else happens between human beings because Marx believe that the necessity it was absolute necessity in order to progress that human beings break up the original highly unified Human Society there had to be a division of labor there to be the generation of a surplus which required very rigid discipline and all this meant necessarily inevitably that some men would dominate others in other words they would be class division
必然王国——马克思很常用这个说法——而历史过程可以被看作从这种对自然的奴役中自我解放的过程,反过来说,如果你愿意,也就是征服自然的过程,我们越来越掌握自己的物质环境,是这样吗?那么,使马克思主义成为一种非常有趣而丰富的理论的地方在于,这里还有另一个方面,那就是随着人在历史和自然中不断前进,人与人之间还发生了别的事情,因为马克思相信,这是必然的,是绝对必然的:为了进步,人类必须打破原初那个高度统一的人类社会,必须出现分工,必须产生剩余产品,而这需要非常严格的纪律,所有这一切必然地、不可避免地意味着一些人会支配另一些人,换句话说,会出现阶级分化。而这里的悲剧在于,

and the tragedy of this if you like is that this great capacity to control our our labor and our interaction with nature and our way of being in the world is something that we never can fully exercise because it's something we only could exercise as a whole Human Society together whereas the the the necessary requirement for progress in the beginning is that we break into class division and the result is that instead of we're controlling freely our way of of interacting with nature and getting the means to life from nature we find that it escapes human control that it follows a set of impersonal laws which no one no individual person no individual group can dictate and of course the the Apex of this at the highest point of human development in history before we recover control is is capitalism and that Marx devoted his major work to Capital and we see in capital important one way of putting a pencil sketch of capital is that it's an it's a picture of a society of an organization of society which is
我们控制自己的劳动、控制我们与自然的互动、控制我们在世界中存在方式的这种巨大能力,却是我们永远无法充分行使的,因为这种能力只有作为一个整体的人类社会共同才能行使,而最初进步的必要条件恰恰是我们分裂为阶级。结果就是,我们非但没有自由地控制自己与自然互动、从自然中获取生活资料的方式,反而发现这一切逃脱了人的控制,它遵循着一套非人格的规律,没有任何人、任何个体、任何单个群体能够左右它。当然,在我们重新夺回控制之前,人类历史发展的最高点、这一切的顶峰就是资本主义,马克思把他的主要著作《资本论》献给了它。我们在《资本论》中看到,一种给《资本论》勾勒素描的方式是:它描绘了一个社会、一种社会组织形式,

它被不可抗拒的规律所支配,脱离了人的控制,不受任何个人控制,在其中资本积累的规律不断地、不断地推进下去,造成毁灭和人类的巨大苦难,而没有人能够控制。所以这个悖论就是马克思用“异化”这个词所指的:人类发展出的这种巨大潜能——所谓自己书写自己的命运,这是自然界中其他任何动物都没有的——却被他们自身内部的分裂从手中夺走了。现在到了最后的组合,通过一场革命,人类社会可以重新夺回控制,而这只有在历史的顶点、当剩余产品已经产生、手段已经积聚起来时才可能发生。为什么呢?我是说,为什么这种可以说近乎神奇的革命行动就能把历史上一切错的东西都纠正过来?这个理论是怎么解释的?这个理论其实是说,如果你愿意这么表述的话,人性中有一种倾向,趋向于最终自由的、因而也是集体的、

control together over their Destiny and this this bent you can see is being frustrated by the fact that in previous history it just wasn't possible to take the first steps without paying the terrible cost of class divided Society I mean in very poor Indigent societies under primitive communism it was necessary to break into dominators and dominated Masters and servants in order to make the next step I see and that's when it no longer is necessary the Marxist theory is that a class will arise which is willing to take that step towards a revolution which will for the first time not simply produce another dominant class but do away with domination altogether yeah if I remember rightly and absolutely in a way the key to this whole process though in Marx's view is the division of labor isn't it because I believe he says that that uh in order for human societies to develop beyond the very primitive stage you have to have specialization but once you have specialization the individual is no longer producing everything that is
共同的对自身命运的控制。而你可以看到,这种倾向一直受挫,因为在以往的历史中,不付出阶级分化社会那种可怕的代价,就根本无法迈出最初的步伐。我是说,在非常贫困匮乏的社会里,在原始共产主义之下,必须分裂为支配者与被支配者、主人与仆人,才能迈出下一步。我明白了。而当这不再是必要的时候,马克思主义理论认为,会出现一个阶级,愿意迈出那一步,走向一场革命,这场革命第一次不再只是产生另一个统治阶级,而是彻底废除支配本身。是的,如果我没记错的话——完全正确。不过在马克思看来,整个这一过程的关键其实在于分工,对吧?因为我记得他说过,人类社会要想发展到超越极其原始的阶段,就必须有专业化分工;可是一旦有了专业化,个人就不再生产他维持自身生活

responsible for his own maintenance and he becomes dependent on others he he gets hived off into particular groupings with others but he also becomes so to speak an instrument of production he is somebody who is now being used for the purposes of others as well as himself to produce the means of livelihood for society as a whole and this starts the process that you just mentioned of alienation he becomes someone who is as it were cut off or partially cut off from the means that sustain him yes we are all at that point fragments of the social process and none of us can really understand or control it totally and it follows from that of course that when we have a revolution in which we recuperate this control that once again the division of labor has overcome it's very important theme in Marx that the division at least between workers by hand and workers by brain will be overcome but now I think the really exciting element in this which has not always been brought out very clearly but I think it's always there but I call The
所需要的一切东西,他变得依赖他人,他被划分到与他人组成的特定群体中,而他同时也可以说变成了一种生产工具,他现在成了被人使用的人,既为他人也为自己的目的,去为整个社会生产生活资料。于是就开始了你刚才提到的异化过程,他变成了一个可以说被切断、或部分被切断的人,与维持他生存的手段相隔离。是的,在那一点上我们都成了社会过程的碎片,我们谁也无法真正完全理解或控制它。当然由此也就得出:当我们进行一场革命、重新夺回这种控制时,分工同时也被克服了。在马克思那里有一个非常重要的主题:至少体力劳动者与脑力劳动者之间的分工将被克服。不过我认为,这里面真正令人振奋的成分并不总是被清楚地讲出来,但我认为它一直都在,我称之为“解放理论”,它其实是说:人类在历史中所要实现的东西

Liberation theory is really this that what human beings are about in history comes to be something very surprising it the motivation for all these earlier stages of History moving from one system to another is of course just acquiring the means to life I mean the very dire necessity of keeping alive but Marx had the view that it was part like a human fulfillment to exercise this capacity to control their lives for its own sake is it where that there was a expressive Dimension not simply an instrumental Dimension to this it becomes a form of self-realization of realizations yes and it's this dimension of self-realization which is utterly frustrated by class Society in other words what marks you see Marx constantly saying his works both early and late is that in class Society capitalism for instance we have a society which at best simply produces in order to keep men alive it's just the bear means production simply a means to keep alive whereas man is a laboring animal ought to be capable of expressing himself in
竟然是某种非常出人意料的东西。历史上早先各个阶段,从一种制度过渡到另一种制度,其动机当然只是为了获取生活资料,也就是活下去这一极其迫切的必需。但马克思认为,行使这种控制自己生活的能力本身,就是人的自我实现的一部分,也就是说,这里面有一个表现性的维度,而不只是工具性的维度。它成了一种自我实现的形式。是的,正是这种自我实现的维度,在阶级社会中被彻底扼杀了。换句话说,你会看到马克思在他早期和晚期的著作中不断地说:在阶级社会里,比如资本主义,我们拥有的社会充其量只是为了让人活着而进行生产,它只是赤裸裸的生产手段,只是维持生存的手段,而人作为劳动的动物,本应能够在自己的劳动中把自己作为人表现出来。这几乎就是

his labor as a human being is almost the vision of man as a collective man social man is kind of artist expressing himself which is where what awaits human beings once they can overcome this alienation and I suppose the vision of the society to be achieved communism is a vision of a society without internal divisions without classes without master and man and without alienation exactly it's an overcoming of alienation and which means that all the capacity that human beings have to control their lives are put to the service of their expressive uh drive and aspirations that's I think in a nutshell what overcoming alienation means no uh it's very clear that this philosophy has had an enormous influence on the modern world and on all of this and it's also pretty clear to me anyway that it contains very important elements of Truth what would you say uh uh so to speak the the good things about the philosophy or the things that we all have learned from or at least ought to have learned from even if we haven't
把人看作集体的人、社会的人,看作一种表现自我的艺术家的图景,而这正是人类一旦能够克服这种异化之后所等待着他们的东西。我想,所要实现的那个社会即共产主义的图景,就是一个没有内部分裂、没有阶级、没有主人和仆从、没有异化的社会的图景。正是如此,那是对异化的克服,这意味着人类所拥有的一切控制自己生活的能力,都被用来服务于他们的表现性的冲动和抱负。我想,简而言之这就是克服异化的含义。很清楚,这套哲学对现代世界产生了巨大的影响,而且至少在我看来也很清楚,它包含着非常重要的真理成分。你会怎么说——可以说这套哲学的可取之处,或者我们所有人都从中学到的、至少应该从中学到的东西,即便我们并没有学到?我会说,在我们讨论过的两个方面中,即扩展理论(解释理论)和

well I would say of the two sides that we've looked at the expansion Theory and then the Richer Liberation Theory the expanded theory in a way we're all in some degree Marxist now in the sense that it gave us a reading of history in terms of of the precisely the way in which human beings make the means to life and it gave us insights into history which no one can go back on however much there may be arguments about how far to take it when you get to the Liberation Theory it's a much more checkered and controversial question it is it's undoubtedly given as I think one of the one of the Richer and more interesting insights into the development of modern man the the immense importance that freedom has for people in modern civilization the way that uh people Pine after it and struggle for it and so on at the same time it's been the source of one of the biggest problems within Marxism itself because these two sides of the theory explanatory Theory and The Liberation Theory don't always fit too
更为丰富的解放理论中,就前者而言,我们现在在某种程度上都是马克思主义者了,因为它给了我们一种解读历史的方式,恰恰是从人类如何生产生活资料的角度出发的,它给了我们对历史的洞见,这是任何人都无法退回去否认的,不管在把它推进到多远的问题上有多少争论。而当你谈到解放理论时,那就是一个复杂得多、也更有争议的问题了。确实如此。毫无疑问,我认为它提供了对现代人发展最丰富、最有趣的洞见之一:自由对现代文明中的人们所具有的巨大重要性,人们如何渴慕它、为它奋斗等等。但与此同时,它也成了马克思主义内部最大问题之一的根源,因为这个理论的这两个方面——解释理论和解放理论——并不总能很好地契合。你能举例说明

well together I mean can can you show how they I think we can see that together by example I mean if you want to look at Marxism simply as you know almost newtonians and scientific theory explaining human history doing for development history what Newton did for the planets then you get a view of inexorable law which governs human beings at any period of time isn't this Newton's Laws of the planets govern the planet's motions in a period of time then what disappears is something in The Liberation theory of Marxism which is something of this kind that as we make the revolution from capitalism to Communism we recover control over certain facets of Our Lives which previously under capitalism or as it were under the control of inexorable law the idea that some at one point in history some things are controlled by laws which then are recuperated if you like for for freedom this is an idea that doesn't fit neatly into a model of Newtonian science in other words I mean what Mark what Marx is suggesting is is
它们如何……?我想我们可以通过例子来看清这一点。我是说,如果你只把马克思主义看作一种几乎是牛顿式的科学理论,用来解释人类历史,为历史发展做牛顿为行星所做的事,那么你得到的就是一种不可抗拒的规律观,它在任何时期都支配着人类,是不是?就像牛顿的定律支配行星在一段时间内的运动一样。那么消失掉的就是马克思主义解放理论中的某种东西,大致是这样的:当我们进行从资本主义到共产主义的革命时,我们重新夺回了对生活某些方面的控制,而这些方面此前在资本主义下是处在不可抗拒的规律控制之下的。也就是说,在历史的某一时刻,某些事物受规律支配,而后又被重新收回、如果你愿意说,收归自由。这个观念并不能整齐地纳入牛顿式科学的模型。换句话说,我是说马克思所暗示的是:在历史上直到某一点为止,

that up to a certain point in history namely the Communist Revolution all historical events are covered by laws which have the character of scientific laws and suddenly there's going to be some kind of break so that man will after that become free and therefore not government except the Liberation Theory it wouldn't be that that uh crude I mean it would be of this kind really that as the different societies succeed each other in history I mean feudalism capitalism and so on you get very different kinds of laws governing people and things that are under control and control at one period cease to be at other periods and vice versa and it's only with the arrival of Communism that we get um another such change but at this point of change which has an unprecedented degree incorporates an impressive unprecedented degree of control but the idea would be that there would be quite a great qualitative differences between the kind of laws applying under ancient Society feudal society and communist Society against this however
也就是共产主义革命之前,一切历史事件都受具有科学规律性质的规律支配,然后突然会发生某种断裂,使人从此变得自由,因而不再受支配。只不过解放理论不会那么粗糙。我是说,它其实是这样的:随着不同社会在历史中相继更替——比如封建主义、资本主义等等——你会得到支配人的、非常不同种类的规律,而在某一时期处于控制之下的事物,到另一时期就不再受控,反之亦然。而只有随着共产主义的到来,我们才迎来另一次这样的变化,只不过这一变化的时刻具有前所未有的程度,包含了一种令人瞩目的、前所未有的控制程度。但这里的观念是:古代社会、封建社会和共产主义社会下适用的规律之间,会有相当大的质的差别。然而与此相对的,

是马克思主义后来被理解的那种方式——在维多利亚后期,在达尔文的时代,在可以说是科学主义作为一种意识形态的时代,这种理解是相当可以理解的——即把它看作一套不可抗拒的规律。而在马克思主义内部,这两个方面一直在相互角力。你知道,作为一场政治运动,它哪一个都不能放弃,因为我认为它的政治力量恰恰取决于同时抓住这两者。它必须抓住解放理论,因为那是——如果你愿意说——它能向人类敞开的整个弥赛亚式的未来;它也必须抓住自己是一门科学的主张,因为那给它盖上了本质上现代的印记,标明它已经克服了迷信,并且能够有一个真正坚实的基础。但在政治层面之外,任何马克思主义理论家都在某种程度上为此深感尴尬,他们走了不同的路子。今天有一个很流行的学派,决定几乎完全抛弃解放理论。我想,许多听我们这番讨论的人会对你强调

all together I think many people listening to this discussion between us will be surprised at your emphasis on half of Marxism being a theory of Liberation because in many people's minds I think Marxism is bound to be associated with a form of totalitarianism there are very very few people left anywhere in the world now I think who actually regards say the Soviet Union as in any serious sense a free country the communist countries are dictatorships of one sort or another and how them people will be asking themselves how can a theory of Liberation be the ideology of this kind of society yes I think it's a very cruel Paradox but I think it's one that explains a great deal of it explains just why the Soviet Union is such a totalitarian country it is if it were content merely to be an autocracy as its predecessor regime its Artisan was it wouldn't need to interfere with control shape people's lives as much as it is it tries to do but it's because it's a regime which is based on ideology of Liberation it has
马克思主义有一半是解放理论感到意外,因为在很多人心目中,我想马克思主义必然会与某种形式的极权主义联系在一起。现在全世界恐怕已经极少有人还会真的认为,比如说苏联在任何严肃意义上是一个自由国家;共产主义国家都是这样那样的独裁政权。人们会问自己:一种解放理论怎么会成为这类社会的意识形态?是的,我认为这是一个非常残酷的悖论,但我认为它解释了很多东西,它恰恰解释了为什么苏联是这样一个极权国家。如果它满足于仅仅做一个专制政体——就像它的前身沙皇政权那样——它就不需要像现在这样去干预、控制、塑造人们的生活。但正因为它是一个建立在解放意识形态之上的政权,它就必须

would be very fascinating I wanted to try and keep to talking about Marxist philosophy but it does seem to me that one of the mistakes in the theory is that the theory posits with the achievement of communism a society within which there are no conflicts now it seems to me that this is even theoretically unattainable um for example wherever you get two people together you are bound to have conflicting interests and conflicting opinions and so on and almost the central problem of politics could be described as being how do you solve such conflicts if not by Brute Force if not by the law of the Jungle I mean in one sense this is what politics is primarily about and I think we now realize more than people did in the 19th century that the the physical resources of the world the material resources of the world are cruelly finite and they're always going to be disputes about how they should be used in any kind of society so in any kind of society you're going to get conflicts and Marxism doesn't
非常引人入胜,但我想尽量围绕马克思主义哲学来谈。不过在我看来,这个理论的错误之一是,它假定随着共产主义的实现,会有一个不存在冲突的社会。而在我看来,这甚至在理论上都是无法达成的。比如说,只要有两个人在一起,就必然会有……利益冲突、意见分歧等等,几乎可以说政治的核心问题就是:你如何解决这样的冲突——如果不靠暴力,不靠丛林法则的话。我是说,从某种意义上讲,这正是政治主要关心的事情。而且我认为,我们现在比19世纪的人更清楚地认识到,这个世界的物质资源——世界的物质资源是残酷地有限的,人们总会就它们应该如何被使用而产生争执。在任何一种社会里都是如此,所以任何一种社会都会产生冲突,而马克思主义并没有给我们提供任何解决这些冲突的办法,

give us any way of resolving these because it denies that in its form of society there are going to be any conflicts at all yes and I think can I just add a point here Chuck I don't want to go on talking too long at this point but I want just to add the point that I think that this is connected with the reason why Marxism is so to speak bad about freedom because it doesn't acknowledge the possibility of conflict in its kind of society it has no way of coping with a situation when the individual is at odds with Society or when minorities are at odds with majorities because it says that can't happen would you agree that there is yes I think that you're being a bit unfair in the sense that a Marxist would reply here that there is do foresee certain kinds of conflict but basically the basic point that they foresee that the really deep conflicts that which make people take up cudgels against each other are grounded in economic exploitation and will disappear and I agree with you but I do agree with your basic point that emerges
因为它否认在它那种形式的社会里还会存在任何冲突。是的。我想我能不能在这里补充一点,查克,我不想在这个问题上讲得太久,但我只想补充一点,我认为这与马克思主义在自由问题上(可以说)表现糟糕的原因有关,因为它不承认它那种社会里存在冲突的可能性,所以当个人与社会发生对立,或者少数派与多数派发生对立时,它就无从应对,因为它说这种情况不可能发生。你是否同意确实存在……是的,我觉得你这么说有点不公平,因为一个马克思主义者会回应说,他们确实预见到某些种类的冲突,但基本的一点是,他们预见到那些真正深层的、使人们相互抄起棍棒的冲突,根源在于经济剥削,并且将会消失。不过我同意你的看法,我确实同意你提出的基本要点,也就是说他们无力应对,他们

in that that their powerless to cope with they have no resources that were intellectually otherwise to cope with with conflict and no model of how to operate a society in which conflict could arise and there's a very deep feeling that if you begin to allow for that you're going beyond the bounds of Marxism I think that's certainly true what do you think are other important shortcomings of the theory as a theory well in a way something we should have raised in connection with the Soviet Union is the opposite of of the Crimson the Soviet Union it's that it all happened in a country like the Soviet Union and not in a western Advanced country because the theory of Marx was definitely to the effect that communism would come about in the most advanced industrial societies I mean in a way just as you can say what's happening in the Soviet Union there's no test of Marxism so on the other hand you have to say that the biggest intellectual question put to Marxism is why hasn't it happened in Britain in Germany
在智识上或其他方面都没有资源去应对冲突,也没有任何模型来说明如何运作一个可能出现冲突的社会。而且有一种很深的感觉:一旦你开始为此留出余地,你就超出了马克思主义的边界。我想这肯定是对的。你认为这一理论作为一种理论还有哪些重要的缺陷?嗯,某种意义上,有件事我们本该在谈苏联时提出来,那正好和苏联的情况相反——就是说,这一切竟然发生在苏联那样的国家,而不是发生在西方发达国家。因为马克思的理论明确主张,共产主义将会在最发达的工业社会中出现。我是说,某种程度上,正如你可以说苏联发生的事情并不构成对马克思主义的检验,那么另一方面你也必须承认,摆在马克思主义面前最大的思想难题就是:为什么它没有在英国、在德国发生。我认为这既是一个重大的

理论缺陷,也是马克思主义者持续讨论的主要源头之一、主要领域之一。你是否也同意我的看法:马克思主义在下面这个意义上非常有限——可以说,世界上那些伟大的哲学,或者主要的意识形态、主要的宗教,它们都对世界提供了解释。可以很粗略地这样讲:它们在三个不同的层面上提供解释。第一是个体层面,人作为个体,有他独特的生与死、意识、知识、灵魂(如果他有的话)、道德感等等,还有一大堆重要的哲学问题:身心问题、自我的问题等等与个体相关的问题。然后是社会层面,政治的、社会的问题,历史问题等等。再然后是关于自然世界的问题层面:宇宙、物质世界,涉及时间和空间的本质,以及人类生活置身其中的整个

fundamental questions arising about the nature of time and space and the whole material structure within which human life finds itself now it seems to me that that uh the great theories the great philosophies are richly explanatory on all three of these levels whereas Marxism isn't Marxism almost totally ignores two of them it ignores the level of the natural world and has nothing to say about the cosmos and really has almost nothing to say about the individual it's a it's a theory that functions entirely on that intermediate level of social existence I much I agree with you on that having nothing to say about the cosmos I'm afraid that in some cases they have too much to say about the cosmos they're a development out of angles which you now have in the Soviet Union of the dialectics of nature which I think is in a lot of nonsense philosophically really it would be better if Marxism had nothing to say about the natural Cosmos what modern ideology or or religion does I think that a much more powerful
物质结构等根本问题。在我看来,那些伟大的理论、伟大的哲学在这三个层面上都有丰富的解释力,而马克思主义却不是这样。马克思主义几乎完全忽略了其中两个层面:它忽略了自然世界这个层面,对宇宙无话可说;而且实际上对个体也几乎无话可说。它是一种完全运作在社会存在这个中间层面上的理论。这一点我很同意你——关于对宇宙无话可说这一点,我倒担心在某些情况下他们对宇宙说得太多了。从恩格斯那里发展出来的那一套,就是你现在在苏联能看到的所谓“自然辩证法”,我认为从哲学上讲那大多是胡说。说真的,如果马克思主义对自然宇宙什么都不说,反而更好——哪个现代意识形态或宗教又对此有什么说法呢?我认为你提出的一个更有力的批评应该是:它对

criticism of yours would be that it had nothing to say about the personal level and I wonder how if that's entirely true it's it's true up to now the historical record that not much has been said by marxists I don't know how much that is some kind of historical accident that Marxism has been taken out very powerfully by important political movements which have had other things to think about then indeed I wanted to suppress certain questions about the individual when you see the rich resources of Marxism as a theory of Liberation you see the kind of theory of art that could emerge from that it's possible to conceive of a another development of our culture you can imagine it happening in which that side of Marxism could really be explored could be given the kind of exploration and development that Marxist economics has been given our Marx's theory of development has been given we have just a few signs of it really in Marxist aestheticians Marx's theorist of of Art and I there could be an ultimate
个人层面无话可说。不过我怀疑这是否完全属实。就目前的历史记录而言,这是真的:马克思主义者在这方面说得不多。但我不知道这在多大程度上是某种历史的偶然——马克思主义被一些重要的政治运动极其有力地接管了,而这些运动有别的事情要操心,而且确实想要压制某些关于个体的问题。当你看到马克思主义作为一种解放理论所具有的丰富资源,当你看到从中可能生长出来的那种艺术理论,就完全可以设想我们的文化会有另一种发展路径。你可以想象这样一种情形:马克思主义的那一面被真正探索,得到像马克思主义经济学、马克思的发展理论所得到的那种探索和发展。我们现在其实只在马克思主义美学家、马克思主义艺术理论家那里看到一些苗头。这里可能会引出一个终极问题:

question arising there whether the individual as we've understood it in the past the lonely individual who very often faces the most dramatic and important aspects of his life alone whether Marxism could ever properly capture this may indeed be a question but it's a question we don't know the answer to a priori because this is a very underdeveloped side of Marxism it would be would be interesting and very exciting if there were such a turn in our cultural life that our Marxist thinkers instead of being very exclusively focused on theories of why the revolution didn't take place or why it will take place tomorrow or theories of the state and so on in which sometimes diminishing returns seem to be coming in and there could be a focus on greater development of Marx's theory of Art theory of human aesthetic experience moral experience it could be something there have been certain Beginnings which have never been really taken up which could be something quite interesting do you regard the acceptance or indeed advocacy of
我们过去所理解的那种个体——那个孤独的个体,常常独自面对他生命中最富戏剧性、最重要的那些方面——马克思主义能否恰当地把握这一点,这确实可能是个问题,但这个问题的答案我们并不能先验地知道,因为这是马克思主义中一个非常不发达的方面。如果我们的文化生活出现这样一种转向,那会很有意思、很令人兴奋:我们的马克思主义思想家不再几乎只专注于关于革命为什么没有发生、或者为什么明天就会发生的理论,或者国家理论等等——在这些方面有时似乎已出现边际收益递减——而是可以转而更多地发展马克思关于艺术的理论、关于人类审美经验、道德经验的理论。已经有过某些开端,只是从来没有真正被接续下去,这可能会相当有意思。你是否认为对暴力的接受、乃至鼓吹,是这套

哲学或理论的一个污点?嗯,你不能仅凭鼓吹暴力就这么说,因为除了彻底的和平主义理论之外,很少有理论不是如此。我是说,像洛克那样伟大的自由主义理论家,也在某些情况下主张革命。但我确实认为你说的有一点道理:正是那种相信在革命之后可以实现某种无冲突社会的信念,给了你一种许可,去摧毁、去瓦解现存的一切,甚至以暴力的方式去做——只要你认为由此产生的将是一个无冲突的和谐王国。而且不仅如此,马克思主义者、政治人物和民众相信这一点时那种确定性,以及他们常常如此轻易地接受“应当用暴力摧毁现有制度、或用暴力颠覆它”这种想法,我认为这可以说是他们那种弥赛亚式希望的一个特征。而且在个人和群体那里,这也太容易变成一种理所当然的假定:

人们会被其中大量的预言所触动。这不是一种预言理论吗——所有那些关于未来的断言和讨论,如果你仔细审视,其实看起来并不怎么科学。嗯,其实马克思在对未来做具体断言时相当谨慎,他在这方面留了很多余地,比如关于未来共产主义社会的性质、会发生什么。我是说,那个重大的断言是资本主义的崩溃,那是关于未来的重大断言,而它至今仍有待事实来兑现。是的。不过,你知道,德语里表示“科学”的那个词——Wissenschaft——含义要宽泛得多,德国人可以很自然地谈论“历史科学”,也谈论物理学这样的科学。但我认为毫无疑问,随着马克思思想的发展,他确实开始认为自己关于资本的科学,其确定性和严格性完全可以和物理学相提并论。而你认为这是站不住脚的?我认为原则上就站不住脚:任何一种声称要处理人类、他们的动机、他们的历史、他们的

社会以及他们如何发展的理论,都不可能具有那种严格性、那种精确性、那种可验证性。当然,为公平起见,我想补充一点:在马克思写作之后的这一百年里,人们对“什么算是科学”的观念已经发生了根本变化。在19世纪中叶,所有见多识广的人都认为科学知识是特别可靠、确定、不会出错的,是一种无可指摘的知识;而如今这种观点已经几乎被普遍抛弃,我们已经认识到科学是可错的、是暂时性的。因此我是说,如果马克思今天写作,他自己也会持不同的看法,因为他会有不同的模型。是的,是的,是的,是的。而那样一来,也就像你说的,跟那种弥赛亚式的一面就不太合得来了。那确实是一种19世纪的信念:你知道,达尔文主义把这块地方搞清楚了,一切都明明白白;物理学把那块地方搞清楚了;而现在

关于这一点,一个有意思的事实是,从一开始就有不少革命的左翼人士持这种看法,比如说,早期的一些无政府主义者一直预言,如果马克思的理论被付诸实践,就会导致专制、导致一种独裁。后来还有罗莎·卢森堡,第一次世界大战时期德国社会主义者的革命领袖,她说如果列宁的观点被付诸实践,就必定会产生一个……(这样的)国家。那么大致说来,这两种看法你比较认同哪一种?嗯,罗莎·卢森堡——我是说,她讲的是列宁的观点,不是马克思的观点,我认为这才是对的看法。当然啦,如果你回头去看任何一位生前从未见过自己理论被付诸实践的理论家,那纯粹是理论推演,你可以找到很多东西,说这种态度、那种态度几乎可以导致任何结果——想想学界里人们玩的那种游戏:他到底是极权主义的,还是自由主义的,如此等等。不过毫无疑问,在马克思看来,革命之后应当出现的,

确实是他在讨论1871年巴黎公社时所描述的那种东西,是一种比今天任何西方社会都更为激进的基层民主,包括代表的罢免权等等。而我们看到在苏联发展起来的那种指令型社会,在很大程度上——不管怎么说——是从列宁把党看作一种指令结构的观点中产生的,也是从列宁当时所处的处境中产生的。所以我认为,把这一切回溯到马克思主义头上,多少有点事后诸葛亮的味道。你唯一能说的是,那种观念本身、那种相信自己将要带来一个无冲突社会的信念,正如你前面说的,使人无从发展出一套在冲突中如何运作的模式。如果他的理论真的在他生前得以实现,马克思会遇到大麻烦。但要从这一点跳到说他的思维方式里就有某种极权体系的萌芽——我认为列宁那里毫无疑问是有的——我觉得这是

一个非常非常大的跳跃,完全站不住脚。是的。鉴于所有已知的、真正取得政权的马克思主义运动,事实上都建立起了官僚独裁,你认为它们要怎样才能摆脱这一点?你认为这些社会如果要演变成非独裁的社会,就必须放弃马克思主义理论吗,还是说你认为它们可以在某种重构的基础上做到这一点?是的,马克思主义——我是说,苏联极不可能在重构过的马克思主义基础上做到这一点,但这是有可能的。自从出现了马克思主义上台却造就出如此可怕政权这一冲击以来,一直有人在尝试——那些被称为修正主义者的其他马克思主义者,很多在西方,但别的地方也有,甚至南斯拉夫也有一些——去重新发现他们的马克思主义,沿着这些路子发展出了极其有趣、极富成果的思想。我想你在1968年的捷克斯洛伐克就开始看到

along these these lines I think you began to see in 68 in Czechoslovakia the beginnings of a society summer food sources some of whose intellectual sources would have been revised Marxism of a free society which was nipped in the bud and a substantial amount of thought has gone on as I mentioned in Yugoslavia where again it's not really very possible to put it into practice indeed those who think these thoughts have some of them have lost their their jobs but nevertheless there is there is a possible living development of Marxism which could be the basis for this kind of society whether you have the political conditions in which this kind of thing could happen in Eastern Europe is another question I think it's very very different so far in this discussion we've confined ourselves and I think we've been right to do this to the Marxism of Marx but now that we've said to speak brought the discussion up to date and you've been talking about the ferment of ideas going on among contemporary some contemporary Marxist
一个社会的雏形,一个自由社会的雏形,它的部分思想来源正是修正后的马克思主义,只可惜被扼杀在萌芽之中。另外,正如我提到的,南斯拉夫也进行了大量的思考,虽然在那里同样很难付诸实践,实际上那些提出这些思想的人当中,有些人还因此丢了工作,但尽管如此,马克思主义确实存在一种可能的、活生生的发展方向,可以成为这类社会的基础。至于东欧是否具备让这种事情发生的政治条件,那是另一个问题,我想那非常非常不一样。到目前为止,在这场讨论中我们把自己限定在——我认为这样做是对的——马克思本人的马克思主义上。但既然我们已经把讨论带到了当下,而你刚才谈到了当代一些马克思主义思想家中间正在发酵的种种观念,如果可以的话,我想在结束

讨论时问你:能否挑出一两位较晚近的马克思主义思想家,给我们讲讲他们各自在马克思主义上做出的具体发展?好的,我想有两个真的很不一样的例子,分别在很不同的领域。一个是南斯拉夫的“实践派”(Praxis)——我前面提到过的那批马克思主义者,他们试图回到马克思主义人道主义的根基,并在马克思主义基础上发展出一种自由至上社会的理论。这是最有意思的发展之一,他们大概是这个圈子的中心,也有许多其他人对此做出了贡献,他们借鉴了若干别的思想家。在某些方面他们或许是最引人注目的,因为他们是这一群体中最勇敢的。另一个完全不同的领域是,马克思主义在发展世界经济的经济理论方面非常富有成果。我是说,马克思主义的长处就在于把一个经济体系当作一个整体来看,是整体决定了各个部分的角色。由此发展出一种

不发达理论,说明世界经济的结构如何在某种程度上强加了不发达状态,实际上如何造成某些社会的不发达,阻止它们发展,并把某些角色分派给它们,使这些社会被困在其中。我认为这是马克思主义经济学最富成果的发展之一。可以说,这就是两条路径:一是试图理解今天的资本主义——马克思写《资本论》一百年之后、已经大不相同的资本主义;二是试图重新发现马克思主义中的自由至上主义源头。我想这大概就是非官方马克思主义最有意思的两项发展。共产主义国家历史上一个突出的特点是,像列宁、斯大林、毛泽东这样的伟大政治领袖,都还自命为哲学家。你真的认为他们当中有谁具有出众的哲学才能吗?不,哲学上没有。我是说,列宁是一位伟大的

视频总结 · 一句话概括与核心要点

一句话概括

Charles Taylor 与 Bryan Magee 认为马克思主义由"解释理论"和"解放理论"两翼构成,二者的结合既是其席卷全球的魅力之源,也是其内在张力、无法处理冲突、并在实践中滑向极权的根源。

核心要点

  • 马克思主义有两翼,而非一翼:Magee 开场给出的是常见的"解释理论"(生产方式决定一切、阶级斗争、暴力革命);Taylor 补充了被忽视的"解放理论"——人类区别于蚁蜂之处在于能反思并改变自己与自然的互动方式,历史即人从"必然王国"(受自然奴役)逐步自我解放、征服自然的过程。
  • 异化是进步付出的必然代价:要产生剩余产品、推动进步,原始统一社会必须分工并分裂为统治者与被统治者;结果是人类集体的控制能力反被内部分裂所剥夺,社会受"非人格的、无人能支配的规律"驱动——资本主义是这一悖论的顶点,《资本论》描绘的正是资本积累规律不受任何人控制、碾压人类的图景。
  • 共产主义的核心是"表现性自我实现":马克思认为劳动不仅是谋生的工具,更是人作为"集体的艺术家"表达自身的方式;阶级社会(包括资本主义)只让人"活着",而消除脑体分工、克服异化后,人类全部控制力将服务于表达性的追求。
  • 解释理论与解放理论并不兼容:若把马克思主义当作牛顿式的科学(历史受铁律支配),就无法解释为何革命后人类能"收回"此前受规律支配的领域;政治运动不能放弃任一翼——科学性赋予其"现代性"与反迷信的权威,解放性提供弥赛亚式的未来——但每个马克思主义理论家都为此尴尬,一派干脆抛弃解放理论。
  • 解放理论恰恰解释了苏联式极权的严酷:Taylor 的"残酷悖论"——若苏联只是沙俄式专制,不必如此深入塑造人的生活;正因其以解放意识形态为基础,它要求人们不仅服从还必须"喜欢并相信",任何觉得体制"精神空虚"的证据(尤其是艺术家的表达)都被视为不可容忍,异见者甚至被送进精神病院。
  • 最大理论缺陷是否认冲突:Magee 指出两个人相处都会有利益与意见的冲突,资源又是"残酷有限"的,政治的核心问题正是如何不用暴力解决冲突;马克思主义断言共产社会无冲突,因此毫无处理个人与社会、少数与多数对立的资源,这也是它"在自由问题上表现糟糕"的原因。Taylor 同意,并补充这种"无冲突和谐王国"的确信为暴力破坏现存秩序发放了许可证,使其成为一种"应用于政治的永久正义战争论"。
  • 历史事实对理论构成两面挑战:革命发生在落后的俄国而非马克思预言的英、德等最先进工业国,"为何西方没有发生"是马克思主义者持续争论的最大问题;同时苏联经验也不能算是对该理论的"检验"。
  • 马克思主义只在三个层面中的一个运作:Magee 认为伟大哲学与宗教在个人(心身、自我、道德、死亡)、社会、宇宙三个层面均有解释力,而马克思主义几乎只在社会层面运作。Taylor 认为恩格斯的"自然辩证法"对宇宙"说得太多"(哲学上是胡说),个人层面确实欠发达但未必是先验不可能,只是被忙于革命的政治运动压抑,其美学与道德理论仍有待开发。
  • "科学"一词的时代局限:马克思自认其资本理论与物理学同等严格,但任何关于人类动机、历史的理论都无法达到这种精确与可验证性;且19世纪人们相信科学知识是确定无误的,今天这一观念已被普遍抛弃。
  • 宗教式传播与弥赛亚根源:一个在大英博物馆靠朋友接济的流亡知识分子,死后不到70年,三分之一人类生活在以其名字命名的政权下,历史上唯有伊斯兰教与基督教的传播可比。Taylor 追溯其根源至中世纪千禧年运动、宗教改革极端派、法国大革命新历法,经由黑格尔传入的"最后大斗争之后迎来和谐新时代"的叙事。

结论与值得注意的细节

  • 魅力的解释:马克思主义把人们渴望却难以兼得的两样东西合二为一——"科学的、现代的、扫除迷信的"确定性,与"新天新地"的解放渴望;这一组合覆盖了从西方半幻灭知识分子到传统迅速崩溃的第三世界人群,并催生了"非洲社会主义""阿拉伯社会主义"等与民族主义混合的杂交意识形态,未来可能被民族主义部分取代。
  • 极权是列宁而非马克思的产物:Taylor 反驳"极权始终隐含于理论"的说法——早期无政府主义者的预言与罗莎·卢森堡的警告针对的是列宁的政党指挥结构;马克思讨论1871年巴黎公社时设想的是比任何西方社会更彻底的基层民主(如代表随时可罢免)。他只承认:无冲突的信念使马克思若真掌权也会"麻烦很大",但由此推出极权萌芽是"毫无根据的巨大跳跃"。
  • 改革出路:苏联本身不太可能依据修正后的马克思主义转型,但1968年布拉格之春的部分思想源头正是修正马克思主义,南斯拉夫"实践派"(Praxis group)试图重建马克思主义人道主义与自由社会理论,一些人为此丢了工作。
  • 值得关注的当代发展:一是南斯拉夫实践派的自由主义转向;二是马克思主义经济学对世界经济体系与"不发达理论"的分析——世界经济结构本身把某些社会锁定在不发达角色中。
  • 政治领袖不是哲学家:Taylor 明确表示列宁是出色的政治战略家但非哲学家,斯大林"少说为妙",毛泽东也不是;马克思主义的新萌芽只能来自学者、作家与经济学家。
  • 节目背景细节:Taylor 曾是英国新左派的创始人之一,多次竞选加拿大联邦议员,著有关于黑格尔的重要著作,时任牛津万灵学院社会与政治理论教授。
核心句型 · 9
1. X must be far and away the most … to have + 过去分词
“Marxism must be Far and Away the most influential New Philosophy to have appeared in the last 150 years”
用 far and away 强化最高级,再以 to have done 限定范围。适合开场定调、给出强判断。仿写:This must be far and away the most cited paper to have come out of the lab.
2. what differentiates A from B is that …
“What differentiates them from ants or bees Marx holds is that human beings have this capacity to reflect on…”
主语从句 + is that 引出区别性特征,是学术表达中给定义、划界的常用骨架。中间可插入 X holds / argues 表明观点归属。
3. the tragedy / paradox of this is that …
“The tragedy of this if you like is that this great capacity … is something that we never can fully exercise”
先用抽象名词点明性质(tragedy、paradox、irony),再用 is that 展开,能让论证有张力。if you like 是口语中缓和措辞的插入语。
4. not simply / merely A but B
“There was an expressive Dimension not simply an instrumental Dimension to this”
并列对比两个维度,强调 B 才是关键。学术讨论中区分层次、纠正片面理解时常用,可与 dimension / aspect / function 搭配。
5. in a nutshell, that's what … means
“That's I think in a nutshell what overcoming alienation means”
用于长段解释后的收束,把复杂概念压缩为一句。适合口头汇报或写作段落结尾,前面可加 I think 保持谦逊。
6. it's not because … but because …(否定预期原因,给出真实原因)
“If it were content merely to be an autocracy … it wouldn't need to … but it's because it's a regime which is based on ideology of Liberation”
用虚拟条件句排除一种解释,再用 it's because 给出反直觉的真实原因,是提出「悖论性」洞见的有力结构。
7. In fairness to X, …
“In fairness to Marx that the notion of what constitutes science has changed radically”
在批评之后为对方说一句公道话,显示论证的平衡。适合讨论、评审、书评中转折时使用。
8. from that to say that … is a great jump
“From that to say that he had something like the germs of a totalitarian system … I think it's a great jump”
承认一个较弱结论、拒绝跳到更强结论,用 jump / leap 形容推理跨度过大。反驳滑坡式论证时非常好用。
9. the less said (about X) the better
“Stalin the less said the better”
委婉而有力的否定评价,暗示对象不值一提或过于糟糕。口语中带幽默色彩,正式写作慎用。

理解自测 · 11 题 · 是真懂了,还是以为自己懂
1. 主持人麦基在开场概述中,把马克思主义的基本主张归结为哪几点?

麦基的草图包含四个环节:第一,社会中真正重要的一切由它如何维持自身存在决定,即生产资料决定人与自然、人与人的关系;第二,生产资料变化则生活方式、人际关系与阶级组织随之变化;第三,只要生产资料掌握在部分人手中,阶级冲突不可避免,因而迄今历史都是阶级斗争史;第四,生产资料由全社会共同占有将开启共产主义新纪元,而由于统治阶级不会自愿放权,暴力推翻现存制度被视为正当。这一概述出现在第1—2段,泰勒随后评价它「都对,但内容远不止于此」。

2. 泰勒认为,除了「解释理论」之外,马克思主义还有哪个维度?他如何界定人与蚂蚁、蜜蜂的区别?

泰勒补充的是「解放理论」维度,他认为正是这一维度造就了马克思主义在过去一个世纪激发的巨大热情。他从同一起点出发:人作为群居动物生产生活资料,这一点上与蚂蚁、蜜蜂无异;但马克思认为人的劳动包含「反思」,人能够反思并改变自己作用于自然的方式,从而随时间获得越来越大的控制力。这种历史性的进步就是自由的增长。见第4—5段,这一区分成为整期节目的骨架。

3. 泰勒列举了当代非官方马克思主义的哪两项最有意思的发展?

第一是南斯拉夫的「实践派」,一批试图回到马克思主义人道主义根基、在马克思主义基础上发展自由至上社会理论的思想家,泰勒称他们是这一群体中「最勇敢的」;第二是马克思主义经济学中的「不发达理论」,即从世界经济整体结构出发,说明核心与外围的关系如何强加并维持某些社会的不发达状态。泰勒把两者概括为:一是正视《资本论》一百年后大不相同的资本主义,二是重新发现马克思主义中的自由源头。见第41—42段。

4. 泰勒所说的「悖论」是什么?为什么进步的条件恰恰导致了异化?

悖论在于:人类有控制自身劳动与生活方式的巨大能力,但这种能力只有作为整体的人类社会才能行使;而进步的最初必要条件——分工、剩余产品、严格纪律——必然导致一部分人支配另一部分人,即阶级分化。结果是控制权从人类手中滑落,社会遵循非人格的规律运行,其顶峰就是《资本论》描绘的资本主义:资本积累规律不受任何人控制地推进。马克思用「异化」指称这一状况:人自己发展出的潜能被自身内部分裂夺走。见第6—8段,这是解放理论的核心论证。

5. 为什么泰勒说解释理论与解放理论「并不总能很好契合」?请复述他用牛顿类比展开的推理。

若把马克思主义当作牛顿式科学,用不可抗拒的规律解释历史,就像牛顿定律解释行星运动,那么人在任何时期都受铁律支配。但解放理论主张,从资本主义到共产主义的革命使人「夺回」了此前受规律支配的生活领域,即某些事物先受规律控制、后被收归自由——这一观念无法整齐纳入牛顿式模型。泰勒补充:马克思的实际立场较温和,即不同社会形态有不同性质的规律,共产主义只是质变最大的一次。但作为政治运动它两者都不能放弃:解放理论提供弥赛亚式未来,科学主张提供现代性与坚实基础。见第13—16段。

6. 泰勒如何解释「一种解放理论何以成为极权社会的意识形态」这一悖论?

泰勒的论证是反直觉的:苏联极权不是「尽管」有解放理论,而是「因为」有解放理论。如果它只满足于做像沙皇政权那样的专制政体,就无需如此深度地干预、控制、塑造人们的生活;但一个以解放为根基的政权必须让人不仅服从,而且喜欢它、相信它,任何表明人们觉得它精神空洞的证据都必须被压制,甚至把异见者送进精神病院——因为按理论,只有疯子才会这样看。他进一步指出,由于马克思主义把人视为表现自我的艺术家,艺术家的言论在此体制下变得至高重要,不合拍者便绝对不可容忍。见第17—18段。

7. 麦基提出的「三个层面」框架是什么?泰勒对此接受了哪部分、修正了哪部分?

麦基认为伟大的哲学、意识形态或宗教在三个层面提供解释:个体层面(生死、意识、灵魂、道德感、身心问题)、社会层面(政治、历史)和宇宙层面(时空、物质世界),而马克思主义几乎只运作于中间层面。泰勒接受「对个体无话可说」这一批评更有力,但修正了「对宇宙无话可说」:他认为恩格斯发展、苏联奉行的「自然辩证法」从哲学上讲多是胡说,马克思主义对自然宇宙什么都不说反而更好,何况现代意识形态或宗教也没有什么可说。对个体沉默,他则怀疑是政治运动接管理论造成的历史偶然。见第22—24段。

8. 对于「苏联是理论的扭曲还是理论的必然」,泰勒站在哪一边?他的理由是什么?

泰勒基本认同「扭曲说」,但有保留。他指出罗莎·卢森堡批评的是列宁而非马克思;马克思讨论1871年巴黎公社时设想的是比任何西方社会都激进的基层民主,包括代表罢免制;苏联的指令型社会源自列宁把党视为指令结构的观点及其所处处境。把这一切回溯到马克思头上是「事后诸葛亮」。他唯一承认的是:相信将带来无冲突社会的信念,使人无从发展在冲突中运作的模式,若马克思的理论在他生前实现,他会遇到大麻烦;但从这一点跳到说马克思思想中已有极权萌芽,是「非常大的、完全站不住脚的跳跃」。见第36—39段。

9. 泰勒如何解释马克思主义对如此众多人群的「令人着迷的感召力」?

泰勒认为历史上最有感召力的理论,往往把人们想要结合却难以在生活中结合的两样东西结合起来。马克思主义一方面宣称自己是科学,是摆脱旧时代迷信、牢固确立的现代事物;另一方面又回应人们对新时代、新纪元、自由实现的深切渴望——「新天新地,但由科学确立」。这种结合贯穿极广的受众:西方半幻灭的知识分子把它当作研究的私人取向,第三世界民众在传统瓦解后需要一种既能提供未来又能自称现代的整体图景。他还预见马克思主义会与民族主义混合成非洲社会主义、阿拉伯社会主义等混合体。见第33—36段。

10. 麦基说马克思主义「在自由问题上表现糟糕」是因为它不承认冲突。如果一位马克思主义者回应说「我们只是认为经济剥削导致的深层冲突会消失,并不否认所有冲突」,按本期的讨论应如何评价这一辩护?

泰勒本人在第20段正是替马克思主义者做了这一回应,说麦基「有点不公平」。但他随即承认麦基的基本要点成立:即便只预见深层冲突消失,马克思主义在智识上仍没有资源去处理冲突,也没有一个允许冲突存在的社会如何运作的模型,而且一旦为此留出余地,就有越出马克思主义边界之感。所以这一辩护只能减轻指控的强度,不能消解它——问题不在于是否承认某些冲突,而在于是否有制度化解决个人与社会、少数与多数对立的方案,这正是政治的本义(第19段)。泰勒在第26段进一步指出,对无冲突未来的确信还会成为暴力摧毁现状的许可证,这使该辩护的代价更高。

11. 麦基提到「科学观念在一百年里已根本改变」,科学如今被视为可错的、暂时的。若把这一观点应用于马克思主义,它对「解放理论」和「科学主张」的张力有何影响?泰勒会如何回应?

麦基(受波普尔影响)的论点是:19世纪中叶的人以为科学知识确定无误,马克思据此把自己的资本科学与物理学相提并论;若他生活在今天,会采用可错的科学模型。泰勒表示同意,并补充这样一来「跟弥赛亚式的一面就不太合得来了」——推理链是:解放理论的政治力量依赖于对无冲突未来的确定性(第26段),而这种确定性借自19世纪「科学=确定」的观念(第29段:达尔文搞清了生物,物理学搞清了自然,马克思要搞清社会历史);一旦科学被理解为可错的、暂时的,科学主张就不再能为弥赛亚式许诺背书,两者的结合(第34段感召力之源)便会松动。因此这一观点不仅削弱马克思的科学自诩,也间接瓦解了解放理论的确定性基础,这正是泰勒所说修正主义者需要「重新发现」马克思主义的背景。
