Abstract

ABSTRACT Bernard Yack’s The Longing for Total Revolution is not just an important study of an extremely influential strain of post-Kantian philosophy, which according to Yack culminated in both Marx and Nietzsche. It also exemplifies an unusual approach to the history of thought: a form of critical genealogy that, unlike the Nietzschean and Foucauldian variants, seeks intellectual charity by ascribing mistaken ideas not to non-ideational psychological or social sources, but to a web of beliefs that would have obscured from fully rational historical actors the mistakenness of the idea being genealogized. This approach to intellectual history can justify the history of thought on logical grounds that are unavailable to those who attempt to justify it on the basis of the inherent interest of the past or the usefulness of intellectual history in providing resources for present-day use.

对全面革命的渴望是一种批判而又观念的谱系

摘要雅克的《渴望全面革命》不仅是对后康德哲学中一个影响极大的流派的重要研究，雅克认为后康德哲学在马克思和尼采的思想中都达到了顶峰。它还体现了一种不同寻常的思想史方法：一种批判谱系学形式，与尼采和傅的变体不同，它通过将错误的想法归因于非概念性的心理或社会来源，而不是归因于一个信仰网络来寻求智识慈善，这种信仰网络会让完全理性的历史行动者掩盖被谱系化的想法的错误性。这种对待知识史的方法可以基于逻辑基础来证明思想史的合理性，而那些试图基于过去的固有利益或知识史在为当今使用提供资源方面的有用性来证明思想历史的人是无法获得的。

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.
