摘要: 物性的历史可分为附魅、祛魅和返魅三个阶段,形成了“正反合”式的历史图景。物性返魅是对当下物性的根本特征的概括,它以科学哲学作为坚实基础,起源于后现代科学哲学对祛魅范式的反思和批判。由于现代科学经典模式难以为继,物性返魅具备了两重内涵,一是物归根结底的退离性,二是物的活力和能动性。同时,它还生发出相应的伦理诉求,启迪人类重新理解物的不可穿透性,理解人与世界的不可分离性,并规划自身行动。在此意义上,它对从事实到价值的跨越以及重建一种统一性具有一定推进意义。
Abstract: The history of thingness can be divided into three stages-enchantment, disenchantment, and reenchantment-forming a “thesis-antithesis-synthesis” historical panorama. Reenchantment constitutes a fundamental characterization of contemporary thingness, firmly grounded in the philosophy of science and originating from postmodern scientific-philosophical reflections on and critiques of the disenchantment paradigm. Given the growing unsustainability of the classical model of modern science, reenchantment entails two core connotations: First, the ultimate withdrawal of things, and second, the vitality and agency inherent in matter. Simultaneously, it gives rise to corresponding ethical demands, inspiring humanity to re-understand the impenetrability of things, grasp the inseparability of humans and the world, and regulate their own actions accordingly. In this sense, reenchantment advances the transition from facts to values, and contributes to the reconstruction of a unified framework.
