本文要面對的是現代性與前衛藝術中塑造他人的慾望,創造他人的慾望,以及給予他人美好生活的慾望。第一部份從馬歇爾‧伯曼(Marshall Berman)對《共產黨宣言》與《浮士德》的詮釋,論及現代主義發展與毀滅的的悲劇式矛盾。第二部分從自我發展的經濟學論及波特萊爾與阿波利奈爾藝術評論的時間政治。第三部分涉及尼采的文化憎恨、自我克服與自我變形的實用美學。最後則試圖連結伯曼的「掌握現代性矛盾」與傅科的「作為一般美德的批判態度」觀點向一種實用的創作倫理或「風格終結」觀點轉化的可能性。
This paper should be in the face to the desires of molding others, creating others, and offering others welfare in the modernity and avant-garde. The first part presents the tragic dilemma of development and destruction in the modernism with the view of Marshall Berman, he interpreted The Communist Manifesto and Faust both as the roots of modernity. The second part discusses the “economy of self-development”, and “the politics of time” in the art criticism of Baudelaire and Apollinaire. The third part attempts to demonstrate a practical aesthetics related to “the hate of culture”, “self-conquer”(die Selbst -Uberwindung), and “self-transformation” in Nietzsche. This study attempts finally to link Berman’s “grip on the contradiction of modernity” together with Foucault’s “the critical attitude as virtue in general”, to argue about the possibility toward a kind of practical Ethos for creation or “the end of style”.
