当我们开始通过建立一个国际作者团队和起草我们的介绍性文本来设想当前的项目时,我们几乎没有预见到,一本关于大学研究和学术知识生产权威的书会在多大程度上演变成一本关于21世纪初民主侵蚀的研究。在现代化和吹嘘效率的幌子下,国家巧妙地掌握了公共资助研究议程的治理,这是大学的命脉,在这样做的过程中,越来越多地限制或重新定义了知识自主的范围。思想领域的知识自由和不受限制的能力(逻辑和证伪的限制除外),并通过这种能力“对权力说真话”,不仅是大学的命脉,也是民主的命脉。因此,我们试图揭示的悖论是新自由主义进一步推动自由主义的方式。其结果是在民主和威权主义之间的边界上产生了危险的摩擦。
When we started to envisage the present project by building an international team of authors and drafting our introductory texts, little did we foresee the extent to which a volume on university research and authority over academic knowledge production would evolve into a study of democratic erosion in the early twenty-first century. Under the guise of modernization and the vaunted promotion of efficiency, the artful hand of the state has grasped for the governance of publicly funded research agendas, the lifeblood of universities and in so doing has increasingly restricted or redefined the scope of intellectual autonomy. Intellectual freedom and the capacity without restraint (except the constraints of logic and falsification) in the sphere of ideas and through this to “speak truth unto power” is not just the lifeblood of universities, but also of democracies. The paradox we have attempted to bring to the fore is therefore the manner in which neoliberalism has furtheredilliberalism. The result is a dangerous fraying at the borderline between democracy and authoritarianism.
