書籍簡介

《立法者與闡釋者：論現代性、後現代性與知識分子》是英國思想家齊格蒙·鮑曼創作的政治學著作。

全書除導論外共分十二章，作者用“立法者”和“闡釋者”這兩個隱喻，分別對近三個世紀以來西方知識分子在現代和後現代處境的變遷和策略的改變、以及造成這種變化的歷史條件進行深入分析，使知識分子這一有趣的歷史角色充分顯形。

在這本書中，鮑曼展開了他一貫的宏大敍事風格，從18世紀的啟蒙哲學家談起。在封建貴族及其價值觀衰落、天主教會的控制終結之際，啟蒙哲學家生逢其時，他們彼此之間建立緊密的網絡聯盟，同進同退，逐漸得到整個社會的認同。他們提出的種種改革社會的宏大計劃，幫助國家強加規訓的力量，將民眾塑造成他們所希望的模樣。在啟蒙時代，道德、人格和靈魂被用來指認個人的社會地位，現代性的知識分子處於社會的中心。然而進入後現代性階段，公眾的心靈和肉體都受到嚴格的監控，資本主義市場已經替代了教育者的角色，廣告商創造了公眾的趣味和價值觀，各種亞文化得到鼓勵發展，這種情況下的知識分子顯然失去了“立法者”的地位，變成了在不同的社會集團之間增進交流對話的“闡釋者”，其中的亞集團可能還具有半立法者的角色。另一方面，鮑曼為他所鍾愛的歷史人物進行了其他的選擇與安排，也就是説，這些歷史人物已經向專業科學和高雅文化領域集體退卻，或者尋求輔助自己的社會力量。

The book discusses the role of intellectuals in the modern world. Bauman connects this with current analyses of modernity and post-modernity. The theme of the book is that the tasks of intellectuals change from being 'legislators' to 'interpreters' with the transition from modernity to post-modernity.
