摘要
在我们这个似乎已实现了"价值自由"的时代,马克斯·韦伯很少被人视为一位伦理教育者。本文尝试从韦伯身处的时代和社会背景出发,以其关于学术与政治之伦理意义的论述为重点,结合其书信和传记,来揭示韦伯思想中之伦理教育的面向。面对威廉二世时代的精神危机,韦伯力主社会科学虽具有抽象的观念性,但能够向人们揭示文明与历史中的超越性价值,并通过对其客观化实践的描述,令人们看到这些价值理想如何落实于现实,并产生复杂的变化与后果;由此,学术能够令人明确自身的价值立场及其实践后果,从而培养人的自我清明和求真务实的品质,在日常的工作与生活中朴实地践行自己的理想。另一方面,韦伯还告诫我们,要警惕主观理想潜藏的暴力性,认清实践的复杂性和悖谬性,将信念与清醒的现实责任感结合起来。
This paper attempts to reveal the ethical education orientation in Weber＇s thoughts, focusing on his discussion about ethical significance of science and politics. The historical and social background of Weber＇s time, including his personal letters and biographies, was explored. This paper argues that in the face of the spiritual crisis of the Wilhelm II era, Weber believed that although social science was conceptually abstract in nature, it still could reveal the transcendental value of civilizations and history, and through thedescription of its objective practice, people could see how value ideals were implemented in reality to produce complex changes and consequences. In his view, social science was not about building a closed abstract worldview, or trying to monopolize the life world. On the contrary, the real social science gave room for diverse beliefs and ethical practices, and offered the possibility of reviving the traditions of many civilizations. The author believes that Weber^s ethical education suggests that science can clarify value positions and their practical consequences, and thus helps people cultivate their self-awareness and truth-seeking and matter-of-fact qualities, and practice their ideals in daily work and life. Weber at the same time also warned us of the violent nature of subjective ideals and the complexity and ambiguity of practice. Thus, for modern people, the desirable ethical quality is to combine convictions with aclear sense of reality and responsibility.
