生命哲學[1](德語:Lebensphilosophie,在英文當中譯爲「Life-philosophy」 ,有時與人生哲學同樣寫作「Philosophy of life」)是哲學當中將生命意義、價值和目的作爲哲學之中心而强調的一個流派[2]

綜述 编辑

生命哲學的概念最早由阿圖爾·叔本華索倫·奧貝·克爾凱郭爾弗里德里希·尼采等學者的作品啓發,作爲對實證主義的崛起和後康德主義當中的理論焦點之回應誕生於19世紀德國[2][3]。生命哲學運動與生命冲力主觀英语Subject (Philosophy)哲學體系存在間接關聯,後者由亨利·柏格森提出、著重於直接經驗英语Direct experience[4]

20世紀的生命哲學對社會規範風俗相當重視。以色列裔美國英语Israeli Americans歷史學家尼特贊·萊博維奇(Nitzan Lebovic)認爲生命哲學顯現了生命概念之合集與1920年代德國教育制度所迎來的「生命學説」或「生命科學」(Lebenskunde)概念間的緊密聯係——後者支撐了當時生物學家普遍懷有之廣泛意義上的哲學觀。在其書中,萊博維奇對後尼采式哲學斯特凡·喬治學派英语George-Kreis的激進美學到納粹及生命政治修辭的演變過程進行了追溯[5]

「生命」本身作爲整體的存在是生命哲學的核心,且衹能通過由内而外的方式去理解。生命哲學運動可以說是對康德義務主義之抽象哲學或實證主義之科學還原論的反對。

In Germany the corresponding school [to vitalism], known as Lebensphilosophie (“philosophy of life”), began to take on aspects of a political ideology in the years immediately preceding World War I. The work of Hans Driesch and Ludwig Klages, for example, openly condemned the superficial intellectualism of Western civilization. In associating “reason” with the shortcomings of “civilization” and “the West,” Lebensphilosophie spurred many German thinkers to reject intellection in favour of the irrational forces of blood and life. In the words of Herbert Schnädelbach, at this point “philosophy of life tendentiously abolished the traditional difference between nature and culture and thus facilitated the success of the general biologism in the theory of culture, which culminated in National Socialist racism.”
