The Dialectics Of Enlightenment And Anti-enlightenment

When Enlightenment thinkers tried to save people spiritually to obtain freedom,they might not even have thought that one day "the pursuit of freedom" would become a shackle to lock themselves firmly,and philosophers of rationality are trying to make people rescued from the impervious oppression of religious,it may not have been expected at that "the advocacy of rationality" will become a solid cage one day,where humanity fall into another crazy autocracy.When the Enlightenment was been criticized,the thinkers are actually more mean to the value which extended in the thoughts of the Enlightenment Movement.This is also the basis for the interpretation of thinkers to defend the Enlightenment.They complained that rationality and modernity directly related to Enlightenment,which is an inappropriate equality considered to be a subjective construction by many philosophers and sociologists.As the development of human civilization,the expression of language is also developing continuously,when we use a specific word or words to record and convey a quintessence of thinking,some unexpected changes will certainly occur.This is because language is a descriptive tool,and the expressions is description of objective existence.The existences may be the objective existences of the entity or the objective existence of the spirit.A single word used to do the decription often goes to the opposite way because they can't express the true essence of that "being".The most fundamental purpose of enlightenment is to free mankind from ignorance and obedience,and move towards autonomy and freedom.So,at different stages of development of human history,people should look for different Enlightenment ideas to move towards the state of Enlightenment.The history of Enlightenment has evolved from emancipating the self,pursuing freedom,calling for reason,advocating science,and finally occupying the authority of modern dialogue,the thought of human has gone through a cycle of autocracy—freedom—re-autocracy.The purpose of this article is try to look at the whole cycle from a higher groundbreaking perspective.The so-called reversal of everything and everything is accompanied by human's struggle between "self" and "other." Although these two are relative existences with subjective consciousness,they are also the most objective and undeniable existences.Behind the despotism of religious theology is the human fear and compromise of the existence of the “other” in nature.At the beginning of theconsciousness of "self" and the pursuit of freedom and liberation,the "other" slowly gave up part of the stage,and human beings began to enjoy short-term freedom.When the community moved towards modern civilization and was trapped by modern rationality,it was human beings going to extremes."Self" and again into the result of autocracy.Therefore,when human beings move towards enlightenment again,it should be a process in which "self" and "others" gradually give up part of the stage,and the process of re-emphasizing the organic unity of human sociality and nature is not a simple return.In the state of religious theology,it is the individual and the community that hold an equal respect for the existence of the “other”.Tracing back to the history of human thought,the extremes of "self" and "other" are the situation in which human beings move towards painful autocracy.This is not what the human community seeks.Therefore,in the search for enlightenment,the direction of enlightenment should be To a certain extent,the return of the individual's "individuality" to the "divine nature" of nature is not a model of surrender or restraint between "self" and "other",but there is a relationship of mutual respect and awe that exists naturally in equality It is possible that human beings can move toward true freedom,that is,natural freedom,only by maintaining such a natural state.
