实践哲学理论思维与科学理论思维的一个重要区别是,前者必然以一定的形而上学预设为前提,否则就不可避免地在实践哲学研究中出现经验主义倾向。当代政治哲学关于正义问题的研究明显出现经验化特征。伍德命题否认马克思论证了资本主义的不正义,遭到学界的普遍反驳,但多数反驳者否认马克思主义政治哲学中存在普遍的、具有终极意义的价值原则,依然试图从经验世界中寻找论据,因而对伍德命题的反驳是不成功的,没有触及伍德命题的真正疑点。实际上,马克思的政治哲学理论是以人的自由本质及其现实化为前提预设的,否认这一点,就会消解马克思政治哲学理论的批判性。同样,只有坚持这个前提预设,才能使当代马克思主义政治哲学构建走出市民社会视域,进入人类社会视域。
On Premise Presupposition in Theoretical Thinking of Political Philosophy
Yan Mengwei(Nankai University)
Abstract An important difference between practical philosophical theoretical thinking and scientific theoretical thinking is that the former must be based on a certain metaphysical presupposition, otherwise it will inevitably appear to be empirical in the study of practical philosophy. The study of contemporary political philosophy on justice issues obviously has taken on empirical characteristics. Wood's proposition denied Marx's argument on the injustice of capitalism, which as been generally refuted by the academia, but most refutations failed by denying the existence of universal and ultimate value principle in Marxist political philosophy while still trying to find evidence from the empirical world, so the confuting to wood's thesis is not successful, missing the weak link in Wood's proposition. In fact, the essence of human freedom and its reality is the premise presupposition of Marx's political philosophy theory. Denying this premise will dispel the criticism of Marx's political philosophy theory. Only by adhering to this premise can the construction of contemporary Marxist political philosophy shift from the vision of ''civil society'' and into that of ''human society''.
Key words political philosophy; theoretical thinking; premise presupposes; the essence of human freedom
