現代性，或者說”對於現代社會的想像”，於19世紀末至20世紀初，對知識階層與文化人，造成莫大的衝擊。表面上，這種衝擊似乎關連至幾個重要的社會變遷 （如資本主義的興起、工業化的進展、現代民族國家的興起，或者現代戰爭的擴張…等等），而知識或思想上，現代性或現代社會所造成的影響，乃息息相關於啟蒙 運動或人權理念的昇揚（停滯與挫敗也是可能的變革）。只是，上述這種表面上的論斷常落於一種特殊的處境（亦即，將歷史或社會效果視作為原因），而相應的忽 視或近乎近視的狀況也相形明顯。因此，關於現代性的故事常常僅以一半的方式，被敘述出來。又或者說，上述之說法忽略以下幾個相當基本的問題： 一是，現代性的開展，或現代社會的浮現，並不是依循著一個平整且必然的發展軸線，同時此一開展與浮現的歷程常常都是座落於某一個特殊的心理狀態，某一種巨 大且特殊的壓力狀態。其中，特定的歷史現象與特定的文化傳統，左右了個別的知識人，使之以不同方式體悟、經驗現代社會所造成的變革。 其次，上述對於現代社會的論斷/想像，並未釐清，所謂的現代性問題或相關的因應之道，一直都是一個”理論”問題。當然，這種理論或概念上的問題，並不必然 等同於鉅型理論的提出與雕琢，也不必然相合於傳統哲學定義之下的理論框架。最後，若說現代性所造成的衝擊不同於一般的表面論斷，其中最大的不同之處或許在 於：現代性所造成的效果，並不僅僅作用於鉅型或可見的人類活動。若干深入日常生活，甚至直接觸及人類感官世界的作用過程（進而改制人類的感知歷程與感知結 構），可以說是現代性所真正隱匿的秘密。 參照上述，對於現代性的浮現或現代社會的想像，我們確實可以擁有不一樣的視野，並且重新提問關於現代性的問題，藉此講述另一半的故事。基於此一立場，本課 程將通過Freud與Kafka的作品，同時延伸至20世紀初的兩個重要的文化運動（指，精神分析運動與現代主義的思潮），由此重新描繪所謂現代性的衝 擊。於其中，三個重要的分析層次，可以作為相關理解的基本維度：特定研究者或作家如何想像、因應現代社會所造成的效果（或所立基的成因）；特定知識場域或 文化運動如何描繪且爭議現代性的基本樣貌；現代性的想像或現代社會的想像挪有何種特殊的邏輯與框架。當然，本課程的規劃乃屬於經典閱讀之類型，所以相關作者本身以及特定作品的一致性與完整度，仍是我們課程進行的核心基礎。Modernity, or "the imagination of modern society", had a huge impact on the intellectual class and cultural people from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. On the surface, this impact seems to be related to several important social changes (such as the rise of capitalism, the progress of industrialization, the rise of modern nation-states, or the expansion of modern warfare...etc.), but intellectually or ideologically, modernity Or the impact of modern society is closely related to the Enlightenment or the rise of the concept of human rights (stagnation and frustration are also possible changes). However, the above-mentioned superficial judgment often falls into a special situation (that is, considering historical or social effects as the cause), and the corresponding neglect or near-sightedness is also obvious. As a result, the story of modernity is often told only half way. In other words, the above statement ignores the following quite basic issues: First, the development of modernity, or the emergence of modern society, does not follow a smooth and inevitable axis of development. At the same time, the process of development and emergence They are often located in a special psychological state, a state of huge and special pressure. Among them, specific historical phenomena and specific cultural traditions have influenced individual intellectuals to understand and experience the changes caused by modern society in different ways. Secondly, the above-mentioned judgments/imaginations about modern society do not clarify that the so-called modernity issues or related responses have always been a "theoretical" issue. Of course, such theoretical or conceptual issues are not necessarily equivalent to the proposing and elaboration of mega-theories, nor are they necessarily consistent with the theoretical framework defined by traditional philosophy. Finally, if the impact of modernity is different from the general superficial conclusion, perhaps the biggest difference is that the effects of modernity do not only affect large or visible human activities. Some processes that penetrate deeply into daily life and even directly touch the human sensory world (thus transforming human perception processes and structures) can be said to be the truly hidden secrets of modernity. Referring to the above, we can indeed have a different perspective on the emergence of modernity or the imagination of modern society, and re-ask questions about modernity to tell the other half of the story. Based on this position, this course will use the works of Freud and Kafka to extend to two important cultural movements in the early 20th century (referring to the psychoanalytic movement and modernism), thereby re-describing the impact of modernity. . Among them, three important levels of analysis can be used as the basic dimensions of relevant understanding: how a specific researcher or writer imagines and responds to the effects of modern society (or the causes on which it is based); how a specific knowledge field or cultural movement Describe and dispute the basic appearance of modernity; what special logic and framework does the imagination of modernity or the imagination of modern society have? Of course, the planning of this course belongs to the type of classic reading, so the consistency and completeness of the relevant authors themselves and specific works are still the core basis for our course.
