关系转到个体与自身的关系,可以说意义深远。并且,它充分汲取了古代智慧,也适应了当代社会要求宽容、多元的状况。
但是,现代生存美学认为个人创造反主体化的“自我意识组织形式”就能摆脱资本主义道德的齐一化,从而求得自身的解放,过于抬高了个体的精神力量。首先,这种拔高存在着忽视超越性和终极意义的危险,很容易沦为堕落的甚至色情的虚无主义或犬儒主义。其次,现代生存美学强调绝对的个人创造,这是一种精英主义的道德,并不是社会中所有个体都有能力实现自由的选择和创造。最后,将现代道德解决归结为个体问题,否定了社会变革的价值,容易滑入保守主义的心态。社会不变革,仅仅依靠个体精神层面的努力,是不可能完全解决现代实践和道德的困境的。马克思主义认为,现代人被束缚的最根本原因在于私有制,只有通过阶级斗争推翻资产阶级的统治,人的解放才可能真正实现。

The Condition and Revolution of the Modern Man
——A Review of Foucault’s Hominology

Abstract: Foucault denies the existence of substantial, consistent and universal human nature, rather, he considers human nature to be a concept constructed historically. In regard of his spiritual temperament, the anti-humanism of Foucault is a sort of “humanism” above the traditional humanism. Foucault has a unique description of modern men, holding that modern men are the outcome of modern individuals totally enslaved by power, and he criticizes the nature of western civilization that clears up the diversities of individuals and lets commonality rule all. For Foucault, modern society reconstructs men in three means into modern men who conforms to the subjective standard. Aimed at the historical situation of modern men, Foucault proposes two methods for revolution, which are partial struggle and modern aesthetics of existence. Yet the two methods are not without flaws.
Key words: Foucault, hominology
