Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper reconsiders the arguments of my book, The Longing for Total Revolution, in response to the thoughtful analyses collected in this symposium. It restates the book’s main genealogical and critical arguments about the philosophical sources of uniquely modern forms of social discontent, while distinguishing those arguments from recent attempts to uncover the deeper, theological sources of discontent. It focuses, in particular, on the role played in modern social discontent by the group of thinkers I describe as the “Kantian left”: a long line of social critics who sought to “realize” Kant’s understanding of human autonomy in society, thereby gaining what Marx called “control and conscious mastery” over our social world, not just over our wills.

重温对全面革命的渴望

摘要本文对我的《渴望全面革命》一书的论点进行了重新思考，以回应本次研讨会上收集的深思熟虑的分析。它重申了这本书关于独特的现代形式的社会不满的哲学来源的主要系谱和批判论点，同时将这些论点与最近试图揭示不满的更深层次的神学来源的尝试区分开来。它特别关注我所描述的“康德左派”思想家群体在现代社会不满中所扮演的角色：一长串社会评论家试图“实现”康德对人类社会自主性的理解，从而获得马克思所说的对我们的社会世界的“控制和有意识的掌握”，而不仅仅是对我们的意志。

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.
