ABSTRACT

Modern Western political philosophy is haunted by the family, unable to dissociate itself from this atavistic figure yet equally unable to fully incorporate it. Derrida undertook a genealogy of friendship in order to ask whether it might be possible to imagine and to implement a form of democracy ‘while uprooting from it all those figures of friendship (philosophical and religious) which prescribe fraternity: the family and the androcentric ethnic group?’ (Politics of Friendship, 306). He notes that for Aristotle, in the Eudemian Ethics, the family is a friendship (ibid 200). For early Modern thinkers such as Locke or Rousseau the family is a condition of the possibility of political community among adult male heads of households while at the same time excluded from the public political sphere of social life. This ambiguous status of the family reemerges in the work of John Rawls, for whom the family both is and is not part of what he calls the basic social structure, subject to the principles of justice. This chapter will examine the aporetic and apparently undeconstructible figure of the family in Western political thought and especially its role in maintaining the domination of men over women.

摘要

家庭如魅影般困扰着现代西方政治哲学——它既无法与这一原始意象相分离，又难以将其全然接纳。德里达对友爱所进行的谱系学研究意在追问，我们能否设想并实践一种民主形式，“它彻底拔除了所有在哲学与宗教意义上规定着兄弟情谊的友爱意象，即那些家庭与男性中心的族群意象。”（《友爱的政治学》，第306页）。他指出，在亚里士多德的《欧德谟伦理学》之中，家庭是友爱的一种（同上，第200页）。而对于洛克或卢梭等现代早期的思想家来说，家庭是成年男性家主间构建政治共同体的可能性条件，同时却又被社会生活中的公共政治领域排除在外。这种暧昧不明的地位在约翰·罗尔斯的著作中重新浮现：家庭既属于、又不属于他所谓的基本社会结构的一部分，因此在是否应服从正义的原则的问题上悬而未决。本章节将考察西方政治思想中家庭这一充满疑难、却又似乎无法解构的意象，尤其着眼于其在维护男性对于女性的支配中所扮演的角色。
