摘要/Abstract

摘要： 生存美学是晚期福柯伦理谱系学的核心,指的是通过伦理主体之于道德主体、治理自我之于治理他者的优先性,确立能够塑造自身的自由主体之于权力的优先性。阿甘本在“神圣人”(Homo Sacer)计划后半部分所提出的“生命形式”依赖于对福柯的反思,他认为福柯的生存美学因为没有摆脱与技艺或权力的勾连,所以未能成功地完成其构想。因此,阿甘本从完全不同于福柯的本体论角度批判性地继承了其思想,发展出了爱欲自我的生存美学。

关键词: 生存美学, 伦理主体, 自我的本体论, 爱欲自我

Abstract: The aesthetics of existence is at the core of Foucault's later ethical genealogy, in which the superiority of the free subject in the self-construction over power can establish the superiority of the ethical subject over the moral subject and that of the governance of the self over the governance of others. Agamben's concept of the “form-of-life” in Part IV of the Homo Sacer is developed from his reflections upon Foucault, which suggests that Foucault's aesthetics of existence does not attain what he expects because of its association with tekhne or power. Therefore, Agamben critically inherits Foucault's thought from an ontological perspective and develops his existential aesthetics of the self of eros.

Key words: aesthetics of existence, ethical subject, ontology of self, self of eros
