摘要

資本主義的資本統治與社會主義的官僚統治，在二十世紀末形成二合一的新自由主義，其所造成的民主被拍賣、生態惡化與貧富差距懸殊等問題，幾成當前世界難以承受之重。本文透過韋依思想的古希臘史詩精神，重新審視文明基礎，並嘗試說明：如果解釋世界的內容是封閉的，那麼改變世界的結果，將只是官僚統治取代資本統治，一種壓迫替代另一種。從古希臘、福音書到中世紀奧克文明，韋依認為其共同的史詩精神是，不相信逃避命運、不崇拜力量、不仇恨敵人以及不輕視不幸的人。生命後期的韋依，一直思考著人們如何戰鬥但人性依舊可以是純樸的行動。戰地護士培訓計畫以及起草義務宣言，正是在那黑暗時代裡，韋依思想的亮光再現。如今在新自由主義席捲全球時代，韋依思想或許可以幫助我們找到超自然真實的力量平衡。

Capital domination of capitalism and bureaucratic domination of socialism together form the neo-liberalism at the end of twentieth century. They have caused democracy to be auctioned, ecological degradation and wealth disparities and other issues, a few into the current world unbearable burden. This article by Simone Weil admired ancient Greek epic genius, re-examines the basis of civilization; and tries to explain, if the interpretation of the content of the world is close-minded, then the outcome of world change, will only replace the rule of capital by bureaucratic rule, substitute another kind of oppression. From ancient Greece, the Gospel to medieval Oak civilization, Weil believes its common epic spirit is to accept the fact that nothing is sheltered from fate, how never to admire might, or hate the enemy, or to despise sufferers. At her late life, Weil concerned how to act in war but the purity of motive. There was the resurrection light of Weil's thoughts at the dark times when she promoted the front-line nursing squad plan and drafted for a statement of human obligations. Today, in the era of neo-liberalism sweeping the globe, Weil's thoughts may help us find the balance of power in the transcendental truth.
