摘要/Abstract

摘要： 哈曼的客体诗学挑战主控欧美哲学界几十年的语言学转向，呼吁回归物的世界，确立物的自主性和客体与客体之间的民主平等关系。哈曼不仅将一切形式的存在都看作客体，彼此没有高低贵贱之分，而且赋予整体的构成部分以同等的自主和主权。哈曼铸造了一系列新概念，如“物的引诱”与“替代因果”，引导我们从一个崭新的角度观察世界，思考物的本体生命和意义以及物与人的关系。但是，跟任何其他新崛起的理论一样，哈曼的体系存在显而易见的缺陷或弱点。最有待商榷的地方，是哈曼力倡哲学去批判化，似乎全面否定二十世纪下半叶以来的整个西方批判传统，会削弱甚至彻底取消对物化和资本逻辑的抵抗。

Abstract: Graham Harman's poetics of objects challenges the linguistic turn which has dominated Euro-American philosophy in the past few decades, calling for a return to the world of things and championing a theory of autonomy and democracy of objects. Harman not only equally teats all forms of being as objects, but sees the components of any singular object as sovereign and autonomous objects in their own right. He has created a series of new concepts such as "allure of things" and "vicarious causation," urging us to look at the world from a radically new perspective and explore the ontology and meaning of things as well as their relationship with human beings. However, like all other emerging theories, Harman's poetics of objects is not without flaws and weaknesses. What is most problematic is its insistence on delinking philosophy from its critical role, signaling a total rejection of the critical tradition that has been prevalent in the West since several decades ago, hence eliminating the possibility of resistance to reification and the logic of capital.

Key words: object-oriented ontology, allure, vicarious causation, translation, delinked from the role of criticism
