"Dialectic Of Enlightenment" Research

The dialectics of enlightenment argues that only the dialectics based on the foundation of survival ontology, can get rid of the metaphysical shackles, break the identity logic and rescue the enlightenment. The dialectics of Hegel had reached to the summit, but became the concepts’ movement which was totally external to human. Although Marx pulled the dialectics back on the human practical activities, the orthodox Marxists placed the dialectics in the mire of epistemology again. The dialectics lost its own ontological foundation, on which the dialectics is differed fundamentally from the metaphysics. What the Western Marxists did was trying to "radical reform" the dialectics. The enlightenment followed the understanding logic and the principle of abstract identity. The reason, as the enlightenment’s weapon, conquered the external nature, at the same time, also cropped the human inherent nature and regulated the whole human society, which dragged the enlightenment into the swamp of mythology again. But they are not the real enlightenment and reason but the false enlightenment and instrumental reason, which formed a huge conceptualized empire. In there, human lived in the state without survival root, representing in the trouble of Self maintaining and the rupture between the human existence and nature. Metaphysics and dialectics hold opposed attitude on the issue of "human existence", the former, following understanding logic, thinks that human existence is a closed substance; the latter, following intensional logic, thinks that human existence is a open and dialectical survival process. The dialectics of enlightenment is attempted to search for the real ontological foundation of dialectics and arouse the human survival nature which is hidden by the enlightenment reason, only the dialectics based on the foundation of survival ontology, can be achieved to interpret the human existence nature; can break away the entanglement from metaphysics completely; can get rid of the shackles of instrumental reason, then breaking the vicious cycle of "enlightenment-mythology" and rescuing the enlightenment reason.
