Abstract

First delivered as a short laudatory speech on the occasion of Hans Blumenberg receiving the Sigmund Freud Prize for Academic Prose in 1980, this essay by the German philosopher Odo Marquard served as a eulogy at a memorial event for Blumenberg after his death in 1996. Marquard, who was a colleague of Blumenberg’s at the University of Giessen between 1965 and 1970, offers one of the first and still most influential attempts at condensing Blumenberg’s thought to a basic idea: willfully reductive, Marquard argues that all of Blumenberg’s books can be read as a variation on the theme of “unburdening from the absolute”—the task of human beings to keep an overwhelming reality at bay. Marquard thus interprets him mainly as a proponent of the German current of “philosophical anthropology.” The text also sheds light on Blumenberg’s relationship to finitude, his life and reclusiveness, and his writing technique.
摆脱绝对:纪念汉斯·布鲁门伯格
德国哲学家奥多·马夸德的这篇文章最初是在1980年汉斯·布鲁门伯格获得西格蒙德·弗洛伊德学术散文奖之际发表的一篇简短的赞美演讲,在1996年布鲁门伯格去世后的一次纪念活动上作为悼词。1965年至1970年间,马夸德是布鲁门伯格在吉森大学的同事,他提出了将布鲁门伯格的思想浓缩为一个基本思想的第一次也是迄今为止最具影响力的尝试之一:故意还原,马夸德认为,布鲁门伯格的所有书都可以作为“从绝对中解脱”主题的变体来阅读,“从绝对解脱”是人类阻止压倒性现实的任务。因此,马夸德主要将他解释为德国“哲学人类学”潮流的支持者。文本还揭示了布鲁门伯格与有限性的关系、他的生活和隐居以及他的写作技巧。
