三、结语 从种族关系史的角度, 揭示启蒙时代的缺陷, 并非为了贬低洛克与康德, 而是一种提醒:如果他们都不能在思想上超越时代, 我们是否更应反思自己。人性的幽暗常令人关闭良善而不自觉, 优越感的驱动亦常令人践踏了他人的权利而不觉愧疚。当历史向我们演示, 启蒙时代并非神话, 近代西方自由主义与平等主义的倡导者也不能摆脱种族主义的捆绑时, 我们是否应有所察觉:种族间正义的缺失在西方由来已久, 甚至到了20世纪, 西方伦理学正义论中的主题中, 也很少有“种族”的位置。设若无此认知, 我们恐怕很难深切地理解:何以种族主义在启蒙时代、在平等意识深入人心的时代反而充分发展起来;何以在现代社会, 种族主义依然四处隐伏, 甚至公然叫嚣。 注释 1. 20世纪90年代末以来, 西方种族主义研究达到了前所未有的深度:用哲学的武器, 譬如康德的绝对命令, 而不仅仅是人类学、社会学与历史学的批判, 清理西方种族主义传统, 尤其注重从近代西方社会契约论的言外之意发掘种族主义的思想根源。其代表性的理论成果, 是“种族契约”概念的提出 (Charles W.Mills, Racial Contract, Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1999) 。所谓“种族契约”, 其实质是一个种族 (白人) 对另一个种族 (非白人) 的统治契约。它通过一种压迫性的观念——白人至上主义, 支配多种族国家的政体与社会构成、社会伦理以及公众心理。这方面研究, 还可参见Charles W.Mills, Blackness Visible: Essays on Philosophy and Race, Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1998; David Brion Davis, Inhuman Bondage: The Rise and Fall of Slavery in the New World, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2006; Carol Pateman and Charles W.Mills, Contract and Domination, Cambridge: Polity Press, 2007; Charles W.Mills, Black Rights, White Wrongs:The Critique of Racial Liberalism, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2017.感谢《世界民族》编辑部老师和外审专家的修改意见, 作者文责自负。 2.
