哈曼是第一个对启蒙运动提出系统批判和深刻质疑的思想家,享有“德国文学全盛时期开山之父”的美誉。随着康德在德国哲学界的影响日益深远,人们对他批评康德的那些深刻理论日渐遗忘。但哈曼那些基于语言、经验和传统文化的批评,尤其是对康德理性概念的批评,迄今为止,仍当在最精辟的批评理论之列。尽管哈曼早期接受的是启蒙主义教育,但自其皈依基督教之后,便成为抨击启蒙理性的重量级批评家。他以启蒙运动的哲学工具来坚守看似非理性主义的宗教立场,在这一点上,哈曼扮演着不可替代的角色。在哈曼的“美学”和“语言学”著作中,有关语言、图像与服饰、抽象与具名、词语与传统、启示与美学、言说与翻译等问题的论述,是他那个时代对语言和美学最深刻的思考之一。尤其是他所创立的以启蒙话语和启蒙思维作为批判工具的主导模式,当在德国哲学最迷人的华彩篇章之列。 Haman was the first thinker who systematically criticized and deeply questioned the Enlightenment and enjoyed the reputation of “the father of mountains in the heyday of German literature.” As Kant became increasingly influential in the German philosophical community, the profound theories that he criticized Kant gradually became forgotten. However, Harman’s criticisms based on language, experience and traditional culture, and especially criticisms of the concept of Kant’s reasoning, have so far remained the most brilliant theory of criticism. Although Harman initially embraced enlightenment education, since her conversion to Christianity she became a heavyweight critics of the Enlightenment reason. In this regard, Harman played an irreplaceable role in adhering to the seemingly irrational religious standpoint as a philosophical tool of the Enlightenment. In Harman’s “Aesthetics” and “Linguistics” writings, his discourse on languages, images and costumes, abstraction and naming, words and traditions, enlightenment and aesthetics, speech and translation, One of the deepest thoughts on language and aesthetics. In particular, the dominant model that he founded as a tool of criticism with Enlightenment discourse and enlightenment thinking was among the most fascinating and colorful chapter of German philosophy.
