重新認識現代性的必要:來自概念史與知識社會學的初步反省

The Necessity to Re-cognize Modernity Again: Some Preliminary Reflections from the Conceptual History and Sociology of Knowledge

摘要


本文主張,對台灣人來說,重新認識現代性既是認識論的,也是倫理學的要求。一旦我們敢於拋棄習以為常的觀點,將現代性問題化,梳理它在歷史中的偶連性與複雜性,將清楚認知到,主流的現代性理解實是套歐洲中心的霸權論述,不但形塑出許多關於歐洲的迷思,亦常令我們誤認自身的歷史,乃至樂於此而不自知。本文將透過對現代、現代性的概念史研究,以及對現代化、現代性研究的知識社會學考察,將它們擺回到東、西方與歐、美霸權消長的實際歷史脈絡中,探究西方概念涵括對象的變化,具體論證現代性何以是霸權論述。秉此認知,本文呼籲,我們應尋找在地立場的認識論位置,以之打造符合台灣主體性的世界觀與歷史觀。

This paper argues that it is both an ethical and an epistemological necessity to re-cognize modernity from a native perspective. Once we dare to give up the conventional perspective, problematize modernity, and explore its contingencies and complexities in history, we will know that the mainstream understanding of modernity is a Eurocentric hegemonic discourse. This discourse has not only created many myths about Europe, but also has led us to misunderstand our own history - we were even glad to do so. This article explores the conceptual history of "modern" and modernity as well as the sociology of knowledge about research on modernity and modernization. Putting them back in their historical context of the alternating hegemony between the East and West on the one hand and between Europe and the USA on the other hand, and exploring the changing meaning of the reference to "the West", I demonstrate why modernity is a hegemonic discourse. Finally, I appeal for an active search for Taiwan's standpoint and, with this, build a local view about the world and history.
