为了解决倾听被排斥他人声音的现代政治任务,本文将在美国哲学家斯坦利·卡维尔思想的基础上提出“声音政治”。它开始与凯尔兹的比较,在政治方面,卡维尔和朱迪思巴特勒的批评。巴特勒的政治不断挑战规范,面对它的有限性,并开放它的无限可能性,使目前看不见的意见可以得到承认。然而,无论现有知识因此更新了多少,用这种新知识对他人的实际理解将仍然是自恋的,除非一个人摆脱“他者”的客观化建构,在这种建构中,“我认识你”。相反,卡维尔教导我们政治的另一个领域,在那里,承认他人与自我承认是不可分割的,因为我们的“声音”--由一般知识构成的居住在我们日常生活中的特定方式--同时被发现,通过接受人类认识的有限性,它们是绝对不同的。在通过奴隶制的例子展示了卡维尔和巴特勒的政治的互补性之后,我将从他们各自的语言参与方式来探索政治教育的前景。
To address the modern political task of listening to the voices of excluded others, this paper will propose “the politics of voice” based on the thought of the American philosopher Stanley Cavell. It begins with a critique of Kelz’s comparison, in political terms, between Cavell and Judith Butler. Butler’s politics constantly challenges the norm by confronting its fi nitude and opening it to infi nite possibilities so that the opinions that are currently invisible can be recognized. No matter how much existing knowledge is thus renewed, however, the actual understanding of others with this new knowledge will remain narcissistic unless one gets out of the objectifying construction of “Othering” in which “I know you.” In contrast, Cavell teaches us another sphere of politics, where acknowledging others is indivisible from self-acknowledgment in that our “voices”—particular ways of inhabiting our everyday lives constituted by general knowledge—are simultaneously discovered in the form of fi nding out that they are absolutely different by accepting human epistemic finitude. After demonstrating the complementarity of Cavell’s and Butler’s politics through the example of slavery, I shall explore the prospects for political education from their respective ways of engaging with language.
