摘要: 上世纪80年代以来的“后人类/人本”思潮在很大程度上质疑挑战了人类中心主义和人本主义,推进了学界对于何为人类、人类与动物之间关系以及人类生命的反思。“后人类/人本”研究有三种路径,其中阿甘本的“生命政治”和“人类学机器”概念从政治领域内的人的动物化境况出发,揭示当代人类生命所遭遇的排斥性吸纳的困境,但阿甘本基于非历史化的分析所提出的是一种消极政治。本文试图回到青年马克思在“1844年手稿”中对劳动力动物化的分析,揭示出这种动物化背后的社会-经济根源,并且通过对其“类本质”概念进行新的阐释,从而提出一种真正解放人类生命、同时又拒绝人类中心主义和人本主义的观念。

Abstract: The Posthuman thought since the 1980s has challenged anthropocentrism and humanism to a great extent, and has promoted our reflections on what human is, on the relationship between humans and animals, and on human life itself. Three paths of Posthuman research will be traced, in which the concept of "biopolitics" and "anthropological machine" of Agamben proceeds from the animalization of human in the political field, and reveals the the dilemma of exclusive inclusion facing contemporary human life. But Agamben comes up with a passive politics based on a-historical analysis. This paper is intended to go back to the analysis of the animalization of labor power in young Marx's "Paris Manuscripts", to reveal the social and economic roots behind this animalization, and with the reinterpretation of the concept of "species being", to propose an idea that can truly liberate the human life while at the same time, totally reject the idea of anthropocentrism and humanism.

Key words: Posthuman, animalization, biopolitics, anthropological machine, laboring animal, species being
