SAE The Second Enlightenment · Prequel: What the Second Enlightenment Is Not / SAE 二次启蒙论 前置篇: 二次启蒙不是什么
SAE · The Second Enlightenment · Prequel. This record holds the Chinese final text (v1.0) and the English edition (v1.0). The English edition is an independent rewrite, not a translation. Abstract (English) Today a thing, a person, a stretch of time is usually put to one question first: is it worth it? This series sets out from a single starting point: a person has no equivalent, and the share a person cannot let go of is not weighed for him on someone else's scale either. Whether a thing is worth it can be asked; whether a person is worth it is a question that does not hold. The "second enlightenment" carries on from Kant's 1784 essay on what enlightenment is: over two hundred years and more, the half that calculates has advanced a long way, while the half that says a person has no equivalent is thinning in everyday life. What it faces this time is a distributed, implicit power, with no single author and often with good intentions. Rules are being written into programs and models in bulk. The series has only one slogan, anti-colonization: it runs in both directions, and it opposes an act without judging the state a person is in. The series works mainly at the level of the norm, and goes as far as the door to "others are ends too." 摘要(中文) 今天,一件事、一个人、一段时间,多半先过一问:值不值。这个系列从一个起点出发:人没有等价物;一个人放不下的那一份,也不由别人的秤替他称。问一件事值不值,可以问;问一个人值不值,这一问本身不成立。“二次启蒙”接着康德 1784 年那篇《什么是启蒙》往下走:两百多年里,会算的那一半推进得很远;人没有等价物这一半,日常里正在变薄。这一次对着的,是一种分布式、隐性的权力,没有统一的作者,常常带着好意。规则正被成批写进程序和模型。这个系列只有一个口号:反殖民,两个方向都反,反的是动作,不判人的状态。它以规范这一层为主,写到“别人也是目的”的门口为止。 Sources.
