Abstract

ABSTRACT The longing for total revolution described in Bernard Yack’s seminal book, which he analyzes as an effort to find a place for human freedom and morality in a world governed by natural necessity, can be traced to Reformation debates between predestinarian Calvinists and free-will theologians. These debates were reflected in Kant’s efforts to establish the very possibility of freedom and in those of Hegel, Marx, and Nietzsche. Considered in this light, the longing for total revolution is a yearning not merely to overcome dehumanization but to become something more than human, which must always come up short in the face of human finitude and mortality.

渴望全面革命的神学渊源与基础

伯纳德·亚克（Bernard Yack）的开创性著作描述了对全面革命的渴望，他将其分析为在一个由自然必然性统治的世界中为人类自由和道德寻找一席之地的努力，这可以追溯到前定加尔文主义者和自由意志神学家之间的宗教改革辩论。这些争论反映在康德建立自由可能性的努力中，也反映在黑格尔、马克思和尼采的努力中。从这个角度来看，对全面革命的渴望不仅是为了克服非人化，而且是为了成为超越人类的东西，而面对人类的有限性和死亡，这种渴望总是不够的。

期刊介绍： Critical Review: A Journal of Politics and Society is a political-science journal dedicated to advancing political theory with an epistemological bent. Recurrent questions discussed in our pages include: How can political actors know what they need to know to effect positive social change? What are the sources of political actors’ beliefs? Are these sources reliable? Critical Review is the only journal in which the ideational determinants of political behavior are investigated empirically as well as being assessed for their normative implications. Thus, while normative political theorists are the main contributors to Critical Review, we also publish scholarship on the realities of public opinion, the media, technocratic decision making, ideological reasoning, and other empirical phenomena.
