摘要: 通过这一访谈,塞缪尔·韦伯教授生动地回顾了1960年代跟随阿多诺学习的经历,呈现了阿多诺思想中目的论倾向和“非同一”观念交织的特征。结合阿多诺的真实处境和“非同一”思想的局限,笔者和韦伯教授探讨了法兰克福学派社会批判理论和政治行动规划之间难以逾越的间隙。在“非同一”观念的基础上,韦伯教授汲取了克尔凯郭尔、本雅明、德里达等人的思想,进一步发展了“重复”“独异”这些聚焦于具体事物的观念。访谈还从“奥斯维辛之后写诗是野蛮的”引出了“异域词语”问题和阿多诺的身份问题。此外,韦伯教授从词源和义理的角度出发为汉语译介“Essay”提供了参考,并风趣地评点了阿多诺的爵士乐批判和鲍伯·迪伦的获奖。

Abstract: In this interview, Professor Samuel Weber vividly reviews his personal study experience with Adorno in the 1960s, reveling some features of Adorno's thoughts such as the teleological tendency and non-identity. Based on Adorno's current situation and the limits of his general concept, Professor Weber and the interviewer discuss the inevitable barrier between the social critical theory and the political action plans. He further develops "repetition" and "singularity" from Kierkegaard, Walter Benjamin and Derrida, which focus on the concrete things. The interview also reveals the question of foreign words and Adorno's half Jewish identity in the discussion of Adorno's controversial saying, "to write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric". Furthermore, Professor Weber gives suggestions on Chinese translation of Adorno's "Essay" considering its etymology and philosophical signification. He also gives witty remarks on Adorno's critique about Jazz, and comments on Bob Dylan receiving Nobel Prize in Literature.

Key words: Frankfurt School, Adorno, Social Critical Theory, Non-Identity, Singularity
