01法兰克福学派的缘起与三位核心人物
0:00
[Music] the economic convulsions that wracked western societies between the two world wars were seen at the time by most marxists as being the breakdown of the capitalist system which marxist theory had always predicted however whereas according to the theory this was supposed to lead to communism in not one single such western society did communist regimes emerge what did emerge in several of them was fascism some marxists were disillusioned by this to the point of abandoning marxism others refused to question marxist theory regardless of what actually happened but there were many in between people who remained or wanted to remain marxists but who felt that marxism would have to be seriously re-examined if it was to continue to remain credible one such group of people came together in frankfurt in the late 1920s and have come to be known since as the frankfurt school actually they didn't stay in frankfurt long but the name was stuck they left germany in the early 1930s in the period just before and after the
[音乐] 两次世界大战之间席卷西方社会的经济动荡,在当时大多数马克思主义者看来,正是马克思主义理论一直预言的资本主义制度的崩溃。然而,按照这套理论,崩溃本应导致共产主义,可西方社会中没有一个出现了共产主义政权。真正出现的,在其中几个国家里,是法西斯主义。有些马克思主义者因此幻灭,甚至干脆放弃了马克思主义;另一些人则无论现实如何都拒绝质疑马克思主义理论。但也有很多处在两者之间的人,他们仍然是、或者仍想做马克思主义者,但觉得马克思主义必须经过认真的重新检视,才能继续保有可信度。其中一群人在20年代末聚集到法兰克福,后来被称为法兰克福学派。其实他们在法兰克福待的时间并不长,但这个名字沿用了下来。他们在30年代初离开德国,就在纳粹上台前后那段时期;到了30年代中期,

几位核心人物都已在美国定居。举三个人为例:阿多诺,一个在哲学、社会学和音乐领域似乎同样游刃有余的人;霍克海默,一位哲学家兼社会学家,才华不如阿多诺耀眼,但也许更为扎实;还有最终被证明是他们当中最著名、最有影响力的一位——政治理论家赫伯特·马尔库塞。他们的影响力增长得很慢,但在很长一段时间里持续增长,并在60年代达到了惊人的顶峰。促成这一点的因素有很多。其一是整个东欧共产主义国家中马克思主义者内部强有力的修正主义运动,最终在1968年的布拉格之春达到高潮。这使得法兰克福学派第一次与现实中的共产主义世界内部的种种变化,另一个显然相关的现象是马克思主义在西方重新引起了极大的兴趣尤其是在受过教育的年轻人当中,这股潮流同样在1968年达到顶点,那一年整个欧洲和美国的学生暴力活动达到最高峰

violence all over europe and the united states and looked for a moment in paris as if it might even come close to genuine revolution the would-be revolutionaries of that day proclaimed one man more than others as their political mentor and that was marcusa they painted the walls with phrases from his books in order to make it known to the world that they were going to turn his ideas into reality and although the revolution didn't materialize during the decades since then the ideas of marcusa and the frankfurt school have come to dominate some of the social science departments in various countries in europe and through them to have a continued and very important influence on the young professor marcus why should it have been to your writings that the revolutionary student movements of the 1960s and early 70s turned well i was not the mentor of the student activists of the 60s and early 70s what i did is formulate and articulate some ideas and some goals that were in the air at that time that is about it
在巴黎,一度看上去甚至可能接近一场真正的革命。当时那些立志要闹革命的人把一个人奉为他们的政治导师,超过其他任何人,那就是马尔库塞。他们把他书里的句子刷在墙上,为的是让全世界都知道他们要把他的思想变成现实。尽管革命并没有真的发生,但在此后的几十年里马尔库塞和法兰克福学派的思想已经主导了一些社会科学系科遍及欧洲各国,并通过这些院系对年轻人持续产生非常重要的影响。马尔库塞教授,为什么偏偏是您的著作,成了1960年代和70年代初革命学生运动求助的对象呢?嗯,我并不是那场学生运动的导师六十年代和七十年代初的活动家们,我所做的只是把当时弥漫在空气中的一些想法和目标加以整理和表达出来,仅此而已在那些年变得活跃起来的那一代学生,并不需要一个父亲式或祖父式的人物

the student generation that became active in these years did not need a father figure or a grandfather figure in order to lead them to protest against a society which revealed daily its inequality equality and its general destructiveness they could experience that they saw it before their own eyes as features of the society i only mention the heritage of fascism fascism was militarily defeated the potential for a repetition was still there i would like to mention racism sexism the general insecurity the uh pollution of the environment the degradation of education the degradation of work and so on and so on in other words what exploded in the 60s and early 70s was a blatant contrast between the tremendous available social wealths and its miserable destructive and wasteful use and i think one might add i mean whether one agrees with your view on any or all of these matters or not that the prevailing orthodoxies in philosophy and the colleges and universities throughout the west at this time simply didn't deal
来带领他们去抗议一个每天都在暴露其不平等、以及普遍破坏性的社会他们能亲身体会到,他们亲眼看到这些东西,就是这个社会的特征。我只提一下法西斯主义的遗产法西斯主义在军事上被打败了,但重演的可能性依然存在。我还想提到种族主义、性别歧视、普遍的不安全感、环境污染、教育的退化、劳动的退化,等等等等换句话说,在六十年代和七十年代初爆发出来的,是一种赤裸裸的反差:一方面是社会所拥有的巨大财富,以及对财富那种可悲的、破坏性的、浪费性的使用。我想还可以补充一点——无论人们是否同意您在这些问题上的看法——当时整个西方哲学界、各大院校中占主导地位的正统学说根本就不处理这些问题,不是吗?分析哲学肯定不处理,

03反智主义与新左派的自我批评

with these questions at all did they certainly analytic philosophy didn't uh positivism didn't and so they did not and we in frankfurt and later in the united states could not cost could not conceive of any authentic philosophy which did not in one way or the other reflect the human condition in its concrete situation the social and political situation and so on and so on and for us philosophy has always been to a great extent social and political philosophy ever since plato of course philosophy has been of enormous importance to you throughout your life in fact you've spent your life as a university teacher lecturer academic writer of books and so on but one of the conspicuous features of the new left movement that you have helped to father is its anti-intellectualism now from the way you've lived your life one wouldn't expect you actually to approve of that on the contrary i combated this anti-intellectualism from the beginning the reason for this anti-intellectualism are in my view the isolation
实证主义也不处理。是的,它们都不处理。而我们在法兰克福、后来在美国,无法设想有哪一种真正的哲学可以不以这样或那样的方式反映人的处境、反映其具体的境况,也就是社会的、政治的境况等等。所以对我们来说,哲学在很大程度上一直都是社会哲学和政治哲学——自柏拉图以来就是如此。当然,哲学对您一生都极其重要,事实上您一生都在做大学教师、讲师、学者、著书立说等等。但您参与催生的新左派运动,一个显著特征就是它的反智主义。从您自己的生活方式来看,人们很难想象您会赞同这一点。恰恰相反,我从一开始就反对这种反智主义。在我看来,这种反智主义的根源在于学生运动与工人阶级的隔绝,以及看上去根本不可能有任何轰动性的政治行动。这逐渐

of the student movement from the working class and the apparent impossibility of any spectacular political action this led gradually to some kind of well let me say inferiority complex some kind of self-inflicted mesochism which found expression among other things in this contempt for intellectuals because they are only intellectuals and don't achieve anything in reality i must say it's a unique interest to hear uh criticisms of the new left from you of all people while we're on this subject what other important defects do you think that the new left movement has developed as it has gone along well i would mention perhaps as a main defect the unrealistic language and in many cases the totally unrealistic strategy among the new left by no means general but very definitely among the new left the refusal to recognize that we are not in a revolutionary situation in the advanced industrial countries that we are not even in a pre-revolutionary situation and that the strategy has to be adapted to this situation secondly
导致了某种——让我这么说吧——自卑情结,某种自我施加的受虐心理,它的表现之一就是对知识分子的蔑视:说他们不过是知识分子,在现实中什么也做不成。我得说,偏偏从您口中听到对新左派的批评,实在别有一番意味。既然谈到这个话题,您认为新左派运动在发展过程中还产生了哪些重要的缺陷?嗯,我大概会把不切实际的语言、以及在很多情况下完全不切实际的策略列为主要缺陷。这绝不是新左派的普遍情况,但在新左派中确实非常明显——他们拒绝承认,在发达工业国家我们并不处在革命形势之中,我们甚至连前革命形势都算不上,而策略必须适应这一现实。其次,

同样是在新左派当中——这也绝不是指新左派的所有派别——他们拒绝重新审视和发展马克思的范畴,把马克思主义理论变成一种拜物教,把马克思的概念当成已经物化、对象化的范畴,而不是最终意识到:这些是历史的、辩证的概念,不能简单地照搬传递,而必须随着社会本身的变化被重新审视。我得说,从您口中听到这番话实在令人耳目一新。这说明您仍在重新思考,而那些自认为是您的追随者、年纪足以做您孙辈的人,有些反倒已经不再思考了。不过您刚才谈到重新审视马克思的概念,这就把我们带到了法兰克福学派起步时真正的核心。正如我在本节目的开场白中所说,正是那种认为马克思主义必须被重新审视和重建的感受,催生了你们这一运动,

04社会主义为何变得像它的敌人

feeling that marxism had to be re-examined and reconstructed that gave rise to your movement particularly as a result of fascism but fascism wasn't the only thing that precipitated it was it i mean there were other political factors too can you comment on what some of them were i mean you mean some of the factors which demanded a revaluation of marxian cutting yes to me one of the most important ones concerns the concept of socialism itself in the development of marxian theory not in marx himself but in the development of his theory socialism has become the concept has entirely almost entirely been focused on a more rational larger development of the productive forces on another higher productivity of labor on a more rational distribution of the portrait instead of stressing that a socialist society as marx envisaged it at least the younger marx and visitors was a society qualitatively different from all preceding societies now in what way qualitatively different the main point i would say
这尤其是法西斯主义带来的结果。但促成它的并不只有法西斯主义,对吧?还有其他政治因素。您能谈谈其中一些吗?您是说,那些要求重估马克思主义范畴的因素?是的。对我来说,最重要的因素之一涉及社会主义这个概念本身。在马克思主义理论的发展中——不是在马克思本人那里,而是在他的理论的发展中——社会主义这个概念几乎完全被聚焦到生产力更合理、更大规模的发展上,聚焦到更高的劳动生产率上,聚焦到产品更合理的分配上,而不再强调:按照马克思所设想的——至少是青年马克思所设想的——社会主义社会是一个在质上不同于此前一切社会的社会。那么,在什么意义上是质的不同呢?我想主要一点是,在马克思看来,真正的社会主义社会是这样一个社会:

is from marx a genuine socialist society was a society in which the quality of life was decidedly different from the existing societies meaning in a genuine socialist society labor full-time alienated labor would no longer be the measure of wealth and value in a authentic socialist society men and women could live their life without fear without being compelled to spend their entirely adult existence in alienated performances this image has been obscured and the result was some kind of frightening continuity between the developed and advanced capitalist societies and the image of a socialist society yes socialism began to become like its enemies so to speak exactly i know from your writings that you had other very central criticisms of marxist theory two that i would like to mention partly because they're probably connected in your mind is that you regarded marxism as anti-libertarian or at least insufficiently libertarian as the marxist tradition developed and you also thought that it didn't take
其中的生活质量与现存社会有着决定性的差别。也就是说,在真正的社会主义社会里,劳动,即全职的异化劳动,不再是财富和价值的尺度。在真正的社会主义社会里,男男女女能够生活得没有恐惧,不被迫把整个成年生涯都耗费在异化的活动之中。这一图景被遮蔽了,其结果是,发达的先进资本主义社会与社会主义社会的图景之间出现了某种令人不安的连续性。是的,可以说社会主义开始变得像它的敌人了。正是如此。我从您的著作中知道,您对马克思主义理论还有其他非常核心的批评。我想提其中两点,部分是因为在您心里它们大概是相互关联的:您认为马克思主义是反自由的,或者至少在马克思主义传统的发展中自由的成分很不够;您还认为它没有充分顾及个体。

05被整合的工人阶级与心理学的引入
11:59
sufficient account of the individual now it would be very interesting to hear you comment on those two points marx did not concern himself very much with the individual and he didn't have to because at his time the very existence of the proletariat made this class a potentially revolutionary class now things have changed considerably since you know the question is to what extent can the present working class in the advanced industrial countries still be called a proletariat the western european countries have abandoned this concept all together now what has taken place is a large-scale integration of perhaps the majority of the population into the existing capitalist system the organized working class at least no longer has nothing to lose but its chains but a lot more and this in turn took place not only on a material but also on the psychological basis the consciousness of the dependent population changed it was one of the most striking phenomena to see to what extent the ruling power structure structure
很想听听您对这两点的看法。马克思并没有太多关注个体,他也不需要关注,因为在他那个时代,无产阶级的存在本身就使这个阶级成为一个潜在的革命阶级。而从那时起,情况已经有了很大变化。问题在于,发达工业国家中今天的工人阶级在多大程度上还能被称为无产阶级?西欧国家已经完全放弃了这个概念。如今发生的是,也许是大多数人口被大规模地整合进了现存的资本主义体系。至少有组织的工人阶级失去的已不再只是锁链,而是要多得多的东西。而这反过来不仅发生在物质层面,也发生在心理层面:依附性人口的意识发生了变化。最惊人的现象之一,就是看到统治性的权力结构在多大程度上能够操纵、管理和控制

06马克思与弗洛伊德能否结合

could manipulate manage and control not only the consciousness but also the subconscious and unconscious of the individuals therefore at my friend said the frankfurt school considered psychology one of the main branches of knowledge that had to be integrated with marxian theory by no means replacing marxian theory but taking it into marxist you yourself have done a lot in your writings to try to marry freudianism and marxism and i think that uh some people would say that this simply can't be done because the two patterns of explanation are incompatible with each other i mean to put it extremely briefly marxist theory locates the ultimate level of explanation of human affairs in technique the theory put very simply is that the level of development of the means of production in a society at any given time determine the formation of classes in that society and that in turn determines the relationships of individuals to each other and on that basis grow up what marxists call the superstructure of ideologies religions
个体的意识,乃至他们的潜意识和无意识。因此,正如我刚才所说,法兰克福学派把心理学视为必须与马克思主义理论相结合的主要知识分支之一——这绝不是要用它取代马克思主义理论,而是把它纳入其中。您本人在著作中花了很大力气,试图把弗洛伊德主义与马克思主义结合起来。我想有些人会说,这根本做不到,因为这两种解释模式彼此并不相容。极其简要地说,马克思主义理论把人类事务最终的解释层次定位在技术上。简单地讲,这个理论认为:一个社会在任何特定时期生产资料的发展水平决定了该社会中阶级的形成,而阶级的形成又决定了个体彼此之间的关系,在此基础上生长出马克思主义者所说的上层建筑——意识形态、宗教、哲学、艺术等等。而按照

弗洛伊德的看法,人类行为的最终解释完全是另一回事:在他看来,最终的解释在于被压抑的无意识内容——我们无意识的愿望、幻想、恐惧、情感等等——它们之所以被压抑,是由于我们最早期的关系、尤其是与父母关系中的扭曲。而且他不仅用心理中被压抑内容的外化来解释社会行为,也用它来解释意识形态、艺术、宗教等等。那么,这就是对同一组现象的两种完全不同的解释。您怎么可能把两者结合成一个理论呢?我认为它们很容易结合,而且很可能是一桩非常美满的婚姻。我认为这是对同一个整体、同一个总体的两个不同层次的两种极为不同的解释。那些原初驱力,即弗洛伊德所设定的无意识的原初驱力,也就是爱欲能量和破坏性能量——爱欲与死欲——是在一个特定的、既定的社会框架中发展起来的,而这个框架以这样或那样的方式调节着

errors and predators develop within a specific given social framework which in one way or the other regulates the manifestation of these primary drives now the social impact goes even further than that according to freud the more intense the repression in a society the more what happened is a mobilization of surplus aggressiveness against this repression now since again according to freud repression is bound to increase with the progress of civilization at the same time and parallel to it aggressive energy surplus aggressiveness is going to be mobilized and is going to be released in other words with the progress of civilization we will have a progress in destructiveness and it seems to me no hypothesis can better explain what happens today than that i think it will the thought will occur the following thought will occur to some people listening to our discussion up to this point you have catalogued a very formidable uh list of defects in marx's theory and prediction the failure to predict the
这些原初驱力的表现。而社会的影响还不止于此:按照弗洛伊德的说法,一个社会中的压抑越强烈,被动员起来反抗这种压抑的过剩攻击性就越多。而同样按照弗洛伊德的说法,压抑必然随着文明的进步而增加,与此同时并与之平行,攻击性能量、过剩的攻击性也会被动员起来并被释放出去。换句话说,随着文明的进步,我们会看到破坏性的同步增长。在我看来,没有哪个假说比这个更能解释今天所发生的事情。我想,听我们讨论到这里的一些人,心里会冒出这样一个念头:您已经列举了一份相当可观的清单,说明马克思理论和预言中的种种缺陷——没能预见到

future success of capitalism uh the anti-libertarian element in marxism uh the absence of any theory or attitude to the individual you've also talked about other entirely new theories like freudianism which came on the scene after marx and therefore couldn't have been accommodated by marx in his outlook a lot of people will say well since you were so conscious of this enormous range of defects in marxism why did you want to remain marxists i mean why why try to hang on to a discredited or or falsified theory why not try to liberate your thought categories from that altogether and actually look at reality afresh easy answer because i do not believe that the theory as such has been falsified what has happened is that some of the concepts of marxian theory as i said before will have to be re-examined but this is not something from outside board into marxist theory that the something marks the as a historical theory demands now it is relatively easy for me to enumerate to give you a catalog
资本主义后来的成功、马克思主义中反自由的成分、缺乏关于个体的任何理论或态度。您还谈到了像弗洛伊德主义这样在马克思之后才出现、因而不可能被马克思的世界观所容纳的全新理论。很多人会说:既然您如此清楚马克思主义存在这么多缺陷,为什么还想继续做马克思主义者?为什么要死抱着一个已被推翻或证伪的理论不放?为什么不干脆把自己的思想范畴从中彻底解放出来,重新去看现实?答案很简单:因为我并不认为这个理论本身已被证伪。实际发生的是,正如我前面所说,马克思主义理论的某些概念必须被重新审视,但这并不是从外部强加给马克思主义理论的东西,而是马克思主义作为一种历史理论本身所要求的。现在,我可以相当容易地列举出一份清单,说明马克思那些

决定性的概念在资本主义发展中如何得到了印证:经济权力的集中、经济权力与政治权力的融合、国家对经济干预的加强、阻止利润率趋向下降变得越来越困难、必须卷入新帝国主义以开辟市场、创造扩大资本积累的可能性,等等。我认为这是一份相当可观的清单,它很能说明马克思主义理论的分量。我不想陷入政治争论,虽然我很乐意这么做,但本节目的目的是就更广泛的一系列话题听取您的看法。不过我不能就这样让您刚才的话过去。就拿您清单上的头两项来说,呃,您说经济权力日益集中,但通过股份公司的发明,资本的所有权难道不是比以往任何时候都更加分散了吗?您还谈到

convergence of economic and political power i would say yes but what has happened in the west at least is that the decisive control over the economy has passed into the hands of elected politicians who in the democracies are directly elected by the mass of the people and they take the basic economic decisions in the society well you know that with your first statement about the joint stock of police you express one of the main concepts of marxist revisionism introduced first by english himself they considered the joint stock companies with a dispersed ownership already as pre-forms of a socialist society now we know today that this is obviously wrong and you will not maintain that for example in the great multinational corporations the stockholders control the policy national and global of these corporations it is not the ownership alone that matters but the control of the productive forces which is decisive as far as the state is concerned and the role of the politicians do you believe
经济权力与政治权力的合流,我承认有这种情况,但至少在西方,实际发生的是对经济的决定性控制权已经转到民选政治家手中,在民主国家里他们是由广大民众直接选举出来的,由他们来做出社会中基本的经济决策。嗯,您关于股份公司的第一点说法,恰恰表达了马克思主义修正主义的一个主要观念,最早是由恩格斯本人提出的。他们把所有权分散的股份公司就已经看作社会主义社会的雏形。而我们今天知道,这显然是错的。您总不会坚持认为,比如在那些巨型跨国公司里,股东们控制着这些公司在国内和全球的政策吧。起决定作用的不只是所有权,而是对生产力的控制。至于国家以及政治家的作用,您真的相信

政治家们完全是作为自由的个人自行做出决定的吗?难道政策制定者与社会中巨大的经济力量之间不存在某种联系吗?嗯,政治家们当然不是被巨大的经济力量所支配的。不过无论如何,我想我只好不情愿地就此打住,回到法兰克福学派上来。我们一直在泛泛地谈论法兰克福学派,我在开场白中提到了其中两三个人。但我想,特别有意思的是听您谈一谈主要人物都有谁、他们是什么样的人,毕竟他们是您的密友和同事。嗯,霍克海默是研究所的所长。他不仅是一位训练有素、学识渊博的哲学家和社会学家,而且在某种奇特的意义上还是个理财高手,能够很好地照料研究所的物质基础——不仅在德国,后来在美国也是如此。他是个才华横溢的人。凡是发表在研究所刊物上

and uh pollock who after all wrote i think the first article in which he tried to argue that there are no compelling internal reasons why capitalism should collapse now one of the uh things that you all as a group pioneered in the perhaps late twenties and certainly early thirties was the shift of interest in marx's studies back from the works of the mature marx to the works of the earlier marx the things he wrote when he was more directly under the influence of hegel and one of the things one of the many things i think that came out of that which has been of continuing influence ever since is the an interest in the notion of alienation i think alienation in its modern sense was coined by hegel taken up and given a new significance by marx and then almost you can say fell out of western thought for nearly 100 years and you plural were instrumental in bringing it back weren't you it would be very interesting to hear your comments on the importance of this idea well that's a very complicated story
论证资本主义并不存在非崩溃不可的内在必然原因的文章。你们作为一个群体所开创的事情之一,大约是在二十年代末、当然也包括三十年代初,就是把马克思研究的兴趣从成熟时期马克思的著作转回到早期马克思的著作,也就是他还更直接处在黑格尔影响之下时写下的东西。我想,由此产生的许多东西之一——而且此后一直有着持续的影响——就是对异化这一概念的关注。我想,现代意义上的异化这个概念是黑格尔提出的,马克思接过来并赋予了它新的意义,然后可以说它几乎从西方思想中消失了消失了将近一百年,而你们(你们这些人)在把它重新带回来这件事上起了关键作用,对吧,我很想听听你对这个概念之重要性的看法。嗯,这说来非常复杂。在马克思看来,异化是一个社会经济学的

according to marx alienation was a socio-economic concept and it meant basically this is a very brutal brutal abbreviation that under capitalism men and women could not in their work fulfill their own individual humane faculties and needs that this was due to the capitalist mode of production itself and could only be remedied by radically changing this mode of production now today the concept of alienation has been expanded and extended to such an extent that this original content is almost entirely lost an extension all too easy which i consider not only premature but also wrong because for example and not every kind of trouble or problem someone has with his girlfriend or a boyfriend is necessarily due to the capitalist mode of production in other words you think that the idea has been trivialized trivialized and it uh very needs to be restored yes and that it's in its original significance it is a fundamental importance fundamental yes yes we've talked up to this point in our discussion in rather
概念,它的意思基本上是——这是个极其粗暴的概括——在资本主义下,男男女女无法在自己的劳动中实现他们个人的、属于人的能力和需要,而这是由资本主义生产方式本身造成的,因此只有从根本上改变这种生产方式才能加以纠正。而如今,异化这个概念被扩展、延伸到了这样一种地步,以至于它原本的内涵几乎完全丢失了。这种扩展来得太容易了,我认为它不仅为时过早,而且是错误的。因为,比方说,并不是一个人跟女朋友或男朋友之间的每一种麻烦或问题都必然是资本主义生产方式造成的。换句话说,你认为这个概念被庸俗化了。被庸俗化了,而且它呃,非常需要被恢复。是的,恢复它原本的意义,它具有根本性的重要性。根本性的,是的,是的。到目前为止我们这场讨论谈的多半是否定性的方面,我们谈了法兰克福学派反对什么,我们

the critical theory today for the writings of the frankfurt school one thing that the members of the frankfurt school uh exhibited very considerable concern with from the beginning was aesthetics and this i think differentiates it from most other philosophies certainly from most other political philosophies and you yourself have written a lot in recent years about aesthetic matters why did you and your colleagues always regard aesthetics as so important well i believe and it was a daughter who is to whom i'm closest in this respect i believe that in art literature and music insights and truth are expressed which cannot be communicated in ordinary language let's say impose for brevity's sake and that with these tools images the image of an entirely new dimension is opened which is either repressed or tabooed in a reality namely the image of a human existence and of nature no longer confined within the norms of a repressive reality principle but really striving for their fulfillment and gratification even at the price of death

视频总结 · 一句话概括与核心要点

一句话概括

1977年马尔库塞在与马吉的对谈中,系统阐述了法兰克福学派为何在法西斯主义兴起、工人阶级被体制整合、弗洛伊德理论出现之后仍坚持"重估而非抛弃"马克思主义,并罕见地公开批评了以他为精神导师的新左派运动。

核心要点

  • 法兰克福学派诞生于马克思主义预言的落空:两次大战之间西方资本主义的经济动荡被多数马克思主义者视为体系崩溃,但没有一个西方社会走向共产主义,反而多个国家出现了法西斯主义。1920年代末在法兰克福集结的这群人(霍克海默、阿多诺、马尔库塞等)选择第三条路——既不放弃马克思主义,也不无视现实,而是对其进行严肃再检验;他们在1930年代初离开德国,30年代中期核心成员均定居美国。
  • 马尔库塞否认自己是1968学生运动的"导师":他称自己只是"表述了当时空气中已存在的思想",那代学生不需要父亲或祖父式的领袖,因为他们每天亲眼目睹社会的不平等与破坏性——法西斯遗产、种族主义、性别歧视、环境污染、教育与劳动的退化。六七十年代爆发的本质是"巨大可用社会财富"与"其悲惨、破坏性、浪费性使用"之间的赤裸对比;而当时西方主流的分析哲学与实证主义对这些问题完全不予处理。
  • 他对新左派提出三项尖锐批评:(1) 反智主义——源于学生运动与工人阶级隔绝、无法采取有效政治行动而产生的"自我施加的受虐倾向",他自始就反对;(2) 不切实际的语言与策略——拒绝承认发达工业国家既非革命形势、甚至不是前革命形势;(3) 把马克思主义教条化为"拜物教",将历史的、辩证的概念当作物化范畴照搬,而不随社会变化加以重估。
  • 社会主义概念本身被"扭曲成了它的敌人":在马克思之后的理论发展中,社会主义几乎完全聚焦于更高的生产力与更合理的分配,而青年马克思设想的是一个"质上不同"的社会——全时异化劳动不再是财富与价值的尺度,人可以免于恐惧地生活。这一图景被遮蔽后,导致发达资本主义与社会主义形象之间出现"令人恐惧的连续性"。
  • 工人阶级已被体制整合,因此心理学必须纳入马克思主义:马克思无需关注个体,因为当时无产阶级的存在本身就构成潜在革命阶级;如今西欧国家已放弃"无产阶级"概念,有组织的工人阶级"失去的不再只是锁链,而是多得多"。更关键的是,统治权力结构能操纵的不仅是意识,还包括潜意识与无意识——这就是法兰克福学派把心理学视为必须整合进马克思主义的主要知识分支的原因。
  • 马克思与弗洛伊德可以"幸福联姻":马吉质疑两者解释层次不兼容(马克思归于生产技术水平,弗洛伊德归于被压抑的无意识)。马尔库塞回应:它们是同一整体的两个不同层次——爱欲与破坏欲这两种原初驱力,总是在特定社会框架内发展。进一步推论:按弗洛伊德,压抑随文明进步而增强,同时动员出"剩余攻击性",因此文明进步伴随破坏性的进步——他认为没有比这更能解释当今世界的假说。
  • 马克思主义并未被"证伪",多项核心预言已被证实:经济权力集中、经济与政治权力融合、国家对经济干预日增、利润率下降趋势难以遏制、需要新帝国主义开拓市场以扩大资本积累。面对马吉"股份公司使资本所有权空前分散"的反驳,他指出这恰是恩格斯首创的修正主义观点,如今已被证明错误——跨国公司的股东并不控制其政策,决定性的是对生产力的控制而非所有权。
  • 学派的正面贡献是三点:(1) 早在法西斯主义实际出现之前就预言了它;(2) 霍克海默倡导的跨学科方法,打破学术分工,综合社会学、心理学、哲学;(3) 最有意思的——追问"西方文明究竟哪里出了错":技术进步达到顶峰之时,人道却在退步(非人化、酷刑重新成为常规审讯手段、核能的浪费性发展)。他们回溯思想史,尤其揭示启蒙运动的解放倾向如何同时与退步、压迫倾向纠缠在一起。
  • 艺术是"无法用日常语言传达的真理"的载体:马尔库塞自认在美学上最接近阿多诺。艺术、文学、音乐开启了一个在现实中被压抑或禁忌的维度——不再受压抑性现实原则约束的人与自然的图景。真正的文学既是对现存社会的控诉,又内在地包含解放的图景;他明确反对仅用阶级斗争解释文学作品。
  • 女性解放运动蕴含最强的激进潜能:有史以来一切统治都是父权统治;若"特定女性品质"(非暴力、接纳、温柔)能在全社会展开,可能成为质上不同社会的开端。他坦承这些品质是社会建构的,并预见会被批评为性别歧视,但回应"我不在乎——它们既然存在,为什么不用"。

结论与值得注意的细节

  • 对"精英主义"指控的回应:他完全拒绝这一标签,称新左派小团体应叫"催化剂群体"——因教育特权而发展理论,但其任务是政治教育与发展意识,对抗权力结构对意识的管控;他"从未主张这些群体可以取代工人阶级作为革命的主体与能动者"。
  • 对晦涩文风的坦承:马吉批评学派著作"生硬、有时不可读",并对比罗素、萨特均获诺贝尔文学奖。马尔库塞承认阿多诺的东西自己也有很多看不懂,但转述其辩护——日常语言已被体制渗透到如此程度,必须在句法、语法、词汇层面就标示出与从众的断裂;同时他警告"过早通俗化极其复杂的问题"同样危险。
  • 对"失望政治"的辨析:他坚决否认对工人阶级失望("没有人有权指责工人阶级做了或没做什么"),但承认另一种"客观的失望":资本主义积累的空前社会财富被越来越多地用于破坏而非建设更人道的社会——追究其原因正是学派的核心任务,即"批判理论"。
  • 人物速写:霍克海默是研究所所长,兼具学术与"金融奇才"能力,保障了研究所在德美两地的物质基础;阿多诺被称为"天才",口述即可付印;还有被遗忘的洛文塔尔、诺伊曼、基希海默、波洛克,以及最正统的马克思主义经济学家格罗斯曼——他曾精确预言资本主义崩溃的具体年份,如同中世纪预言末日审判,结果落空;而波洛克则写出了第一篇论证"资本主义没有内在崩溃必然性"的文章。
  • 对"异化"概念的警告:该概念由黑格尔创造、马克思赋予社会经济含义(人在资本主义生产方式下无法在劳动中实现自身能力与需要),沉寂近百年后由学派复兴;但如今已被过度扩展到琐碎化——"不是每个人与男女朋友的问题都源于资本主义生产方式"。
  • 晚年成名的自嘲:近70岁时一夜之间成为世界人物,他"一方面极为享受,另一方面觉得不配",并以一句自嘲作结:自己之所以显得突出,"只是因为其他人比我更蠢"。
核心句型 · 9
1. whereas according to the theory X was supposed to …, in not one single … did Y emerge
“Whereas according to the theory this was supposed to lead to communism in not one single such western society did communist regimes emerge”
用 whereas 引出预期与现实的反差,再用「in not one single … did …」否定前置倒装加强语气。适合写「理论预言 vs 事实」的论证开头。
2. What I did is/was + 动词原形 …; that is about it
“What i did is formulate and articulate some ideas and some goals that were in the air at that time that is about it”
用 what-分裂句把自己的作用限定在一个动作上,再以 that is about it 收束,表达「仅此而已」的克制与谦抑。
3. not only …, but also …, ever since …
“Philosophy has always been to a great extent social and political philosophy ever since plato”
用 ever since + 历史起点为观点提供传统背书,暗示对方的立场才是偏离常态的那一方。辩论中好用。
4. I must say it's … to hear X from you of all people
“I must say it's a unique interest to hear criticisms of the new left from you of all people”
of all people 表示「偏偏是你」,配合 I must say 引出出乎意料的评价,是访谈中礼貌而有锋芒的过渡句。
5. We are not in X, we are not even in pre-X, and … has to be adapted to this
“We are not in a revolutionary situation … we are not even in a pre-revolutionary situation and that the strategy has to be adapted to this situation”
层层递减的否定(not … not even …)先清除幻想,再引出「必须适应现实」的结论,用于泼冷水式的清醒判断。
6. It is not X alone that matters but Y which is decisive
“It is not the ownership alone that matters but the control of the productive forces which is decisive”
「不是 X 而是 Y 才关键」的强调结构,用于纠正对方论据的重心。仿写:It is not the data alone that matters but how it is interpreted.
7. to such an extent that … is almost entirely lost
“The concept of alienation has been expanded and extended to such an extent that this original content is almost entirely lost”
to such an extent that 引出程度导致的后果,常用于批评某概念被滥用、稀释。
8. If you call that X, yes, but I think it's a very justified …
“If you call that disappointment yes but i think it's a very justified and objective”
先有条件地接受对方的措辞,再重新定义其性质,是辩论中「接招再转向」的高级回应句式。
9. there is an equally great danger in …
“There's an equally great danger in the premature popularization of the a terribly complex problems we face today”
承认批评后用 equally great danger 指出反向风险,避免把问题简化为单向对错。适合平衡性论述。

理解自测 · 11 题 · 是真懂了,还是以为自己懂
1. 主持人在开场中说,法兰克福学派诞生于马克思主义的什么「预言落空」?

两战之间的经济动荡(1929 年大萧条)被马克思主义者视为理论一直预言的资本主义崩溃,但按理论崩溃应导向共产主义,事实上没有一个西方社会出现共产主义政权,出现的反而是法西斯。开场白指出,一部分人因此放弃马克思主义,另一部分人拒绝质疑理论,而法兰克福学派处于两者之间:仍想做马克思主义者,但认为理论必须经过认真重审才能保有可信度。这一「预言落空」构成整期访谈的问题起点。

2. 马尔库塞如何回应「你是 1960 年代学生运动的导师」这一说法?

他明确否认自己是导师,说自己只是「把当时弥漫在空气中的一些想法和目标加以整理和表达出来,仅此而已」。他认为那一代学生不需要父亲或祖父式的人物来带领他们抗议,因为他们亲眼看到了社会的不平等与破坏性:法西斯遗产、种族主义、性别歧视、环境污染、教育与劳动的退化。他把 60 年代的爆发概括为「巨大的社会财富」与「可悲的、破坏性的、浪费性的使用」之间的赤裸反差(第 2–3 段)。

3. 马尔库塞列举了法兰克福学派哪三项正面贡献?

第一,在法西斯主义真正到来之前很久就预见到了它;第二,霍克海默视为学派鲜明特征的跨学科方法,打破学院式学科分工,把社会学、心理学、哲学一起用于理解当时的问题;第三,也是他认为最有意思的,是试图回答「西方文明究竟出了什么问题」——为什么技术进步达到顶峰时,同时出现非人化、野蛮化、酷刑重新成为审讯手段、核能被浪费性开发。为此他们追溯思想史,尤其揭示启蒙运动的解放倾向如何与压抑倾向纠缠在一起(第 20–21 段)。

4. 马尔库塞提到研究所里哪些「被不公正遗忘」的成员?他们各自的领域是什么?

他列举了文学批评家列奥·洛文塔尔、法哲学家弗朗茨·诺伊曼与奥托·基希海默、经济学家弗里德里希·波洛克,以及「我见过的最正统的马克思主义经济学家」亨里克·格罗斯曼。格罗斯曼曾预言资本主义会在某个具体年份崩溃,结果落空,主持人把这比作中世纪预言世界末日的人。与之相对,波洛克写了第一篇论证资本主义并不存在非崩溃不可的内在必然原因的文章(第 17–18 段)。这一对照本身就展示了学派内部从教条到修正的张力。

5. 马尔库塞为什么说「社会主义开始变得像它的敌人」?他的论证是什么?

他指出,在马克思理论的后续发展中(不是马克思本人),社会主义概念几乎完全被聚焦到生产力发展、更高劳动生产率和更合理分配上,丢失了青年马克思所设想的「质上不同的社会」这一规定。真正的社会主义应是:全职的异化劳动不再是财富和价值的尺度,人可以不在恐惧中、不被迫把整个成年生涯耗费在异化活动中。当这一图景被遮蔽,发达资本主义与社会主义图景之间就出现了「令人不安的连续性」——两者都以生产率和积累为目标,因此主持人总结为「社会主义变得像它的敌人」,马尔库塞表示「正是如此」(第 7–8 段)。

6. 面对「马克思与弗洛伊德的解释模式不相容」的质疑,马尔库塞是如何论证两者可以结合的?

主持人指出马克思把终极解释放在生产技术上,弗洛伊德放在被压抑的无意识上,两者解释同一组现象却路径完全不同。马尔库塞的回答是「层次说」:它们是对同一总体的两个不同层次的解释。弗洛伊德设定的原初驱力(爱欲与死欲)总是在特定社会框架内发展,并由该框架调节其表现方式,因此社会结构与心理结构并不互斥而是嵌套。他进一步推论:按弗洛伊德,文明进步必然增加压抑,压抑越强则被动员的「过剩攻击性」越多,所以文明进步伴随破坏性增长——他认为这最能解释 20 世纪的现实(第 11–12 段)。

7. 主持人问「既然承认这么多缺陷,为何仍是马克思主义者」,马尔库塞的回答包含哪两个层次?

第一层是概念区分:他不认为理论「本身」已被证伪,需要的是重审某些概念,而重审不是外部强加,而是马克思主义作为历史理论自身的要求——这与他前面批评新左派把马克思概念「拜物教化」相呼应。第二层是正面证据:他列出一份在资本主义发展中得到印证的马克思命题清单,包括经济权力集中、经济与政治权力融合、国家干预加强、利润率趋向下降难以遏制、新帝国主义开辟市场以扩大资本积累。他认为这份清单「很能说明马克思主义理论的分量」(第 13–14 段)。

8. 关于股份公司与民选政治家,主持人与马尔库塞的交锋各自依据什么?谁的论证更完整?

主持人认为股份公司使资本所有权空前分散,且西方经济决策权已转到由民众直选的政治家手中,因此「权力集中」和「经济与政治合流」不成立。马尔库塞反驳:第一,把股份公司视为社会主义雏形正是恩格斯本人提出、后被修正主义采纳的观点,如今已被证明错误——跨国公司的股东并不控制其政策,关键不在所有权而在对生产力的控制;第二,他反问政治家是否真的作为自由个人独立决策,与经济巨头之间是否毫无联系。主持人只以「政治家当然不被支配」一句断言后主动放弃争论,因此就这一回合而言马尔库塞的论证更完整,但节目定位是「引出观点」而非辩论(第 14–16 段)。

9. 为什么马尔库塞作为「异化」概念的复兴者,反而要批评它被滥用?这说明他怎样的理论态度?

他强调异化在马克思那里是社会经济学概念:在资本主义生产方式下,人无法在劳动中实现自身的能力与需要,且只有根本改变生产方式才能纠正。如今该概念被扩展到「跟男女朋友的每一种麻烦都归咎于资本主义」的地步,原本内涵几乎丢失,他称这种扩展「为时过早而且错误」。这与他批评新左派把马克思范畴拜物教化、以及批评过早通俗化复杂问题的态度一致:概念既要随历史重审,又不能失去其精确规定。可见他的理论态度是既反教条又反庸俗化的双向警惕(第 19 段,与第 6、31 段呼应)。

10. 主持人认为法兰克福学派的著作「晦涩堆砌」并以罗素、萨特为对照。如果有人反驳说「复杂问题本来就需要复杂语言」,马尔库塞会如何回应?

从第 30–31 段可以推知,马尔库塞的回应会是双面的。一方面他会转述阿多诺的辩护:日常语言已被体制渗透,充分表达着权力结构对个人的操控,因此与顺从的决裂必须体现在句法、语法和词汇本身——这为「复杂问题需要复杂语言」提供了比「问题复杂」更强的理由,即语言形式本身就是政治。另一方面他并不完全接受这一辩护,坦承自己也读不懂阿多诺的许多东西,「是否可以接受,我不知道」。他最终的平衡是:过早通俗化极其复杂的问题同样是巨大危险。所以他既不会为晦涩背书,也不会站到「清晰即正确」一边,而是把两种危险并置。

11. 马尔库塞说催化剂团体「绝非工人阶级的替代品」,同时又承认工人阶级已被整合进资本主义。把这一立场放到今天的社会运动(如气候运动)中,还成立吗?

他的立场包含一种张力:革命主体仍是工人阶级,但该阶级在物质与心理上已不再有「只失去锁链」的动力;知识分子团体只能做意识教育的催化剂,对抗权力结构对意识的操控,而不能取代主体(第 9、27–28 段)。放到今天的气候运动,这一框架部分成立:学生与专业群体确实充当了议题设置与意识唤醒的催化剂,且马尔库塞早已把环境污染列入批判清单(第 3 段)。但困难在于「谁是主体」——气候议题的受害者是跨阶级、跨代际甚至未出生的人,不再对应单一阶级。他自己在第 25–26 段已把妇女解放视为新的激进潜能,说明他愿意在「质上不同的社会」这一目标下扩展主体的范围;因此他可能会承认,坚持「工人阶级唯一主体」需要再次被「历史地、辩证地」重审,这正是他对新左派提出的要求。
