The Broken Coloured Glaze——Rousseau's Criticism on ModernityThe theory of criticism of modernity by Rousseau has extraodinary status in the history of foreign philosophy.The rise of modernity signified not only an unprecedented epoch of material progress but evoked a recurring sense of cultural crisis.As the first man to rethink the modernity,Rousseau discovered the dangerous,on the other hand,The criticim on modernity by Rousseau is so feeble and ambiguous because the crisis did not developed in all the fields of the modern society at that time.Rousseau revealed the shortages of reality by the way of putting a ideal stature in advance and showed the man himself and his living conditiongs.This dissertation is by the way of discussion in four visions,the natural,the classical meaning,linguistic philosophy and political philosophy respectively,and focuses on the relationships between history and reality,Rousseau's moral ideal and French Revolution,Rousseau's political philosophy and his philosophy of education.In the vision of natural,Rousseau' criticism began with two foundations,one is on the foundationg of sense,which including imaginary,pity.Another one is natural stature,which is an important conception which is not only the disappeared golden age but also a academic hypothesis,and it has an unassailable validity,while when the natural instinct was enlightened,the natural state was substituted by the society state.Rousseau put up his criticism on the dissimilation and enlightment inthis part.In the classical vision,the order and ancient state is up to for Rousseau's criticism on the political philosophy.Plato and Aristotle had deeply effection on Rousseau,which provid a new basis for Rousseau to criticized on the knowledge and the style of delegate,which was substantiated by the dropscene of French Revolution, but it did not mean the moral ideal was dashed to the ground.In the linguistic philosophy,the breakup of the language is one part of the breakup of the world,which loses the field of meaning.This contradiction between the voice and writing has close relationship with the metaphysical tradition.The analysis on the linguistic philosophy reveals the division of modern welt,and points out that the knowledge is can not help to keep the virtue and even to strangle it..The important part of this dissertation discusses the basic conception of Rousseau's political philosophy in order to indicate the inner connection between politics and virtue.The "should be "political philosophy suggested by Rousseau is an ideal conceivableness,which is can not achieve in the reality so that Rousseau emphasize the importance of moralize,therefore,Rousseau's political philosophy is also considered his philosophy of education,and the two have the same final target, the human's virtue and welfare,which responses the desire brought forward at the beginning of the dissertation by the way of logic and truth,which ask for keeping the virtue well.
