摘要

与社会和政治理论中的悲观倾向相反，本文认为，在构思未来时，希望是不可或缺的。然而，这种希望并不需要像传统的形而上学或启蒙运动的进步观念那样受制于单一的未来愿景，而是应该容纳多种可能的更美好的世界。未来的多元化将其与过去和现在的各种非同步时间性联系在一起，并强调了在具体愿望中偶然性、行动和实验的作用。伊曼纽尔-康德和恩斯特-布洛赫在此为这一观点提供了哲学基础。

Experimentation and the future(s) of political hope

Against pessimistic trends in social and political theory, this article argues for the indispensability of hope in conceptualizing the future. Such hope, however, does not need to be beholden to a unitary vision of the future, as with traditional metaphysical or Enlightenment notions of progress, but should instead accommodate a multiplicity of possible better worlds. Pluralizing the future links it to diverse nonsynchronous temporalities of past and present and emphasizes the roles of contingency, action and experimentation in concrete aspiration. Immanuel Kant and Ernst Bloch here offer philosophical foundations for this perspective.

期刊介绍： An internationally respected journal with a wide-reaching conception of social theory, the European Journal of Social Theory brings together social theorists and theoretically-minded social scientists with the objective of making social theory relevant to the challenges facing the social sciences in the 21st century. The European Journal of Social Theory aims to be a worldwide forum of social thought. The Journal welcomes articles on all aspects of the social, covering the whole range of contemporary debates in social theory. Reflecting some of the commonalities in European intellectual life, contributors might discuss the theoretical contexts of issues such as the nation state, democracy, citizenship, risk; identity, social divisions, violence, gender and knowledge.
