ABSTRACT Over the course of this essay, I advance four interrelated claims. One, today's crisis in the humanities is real. Two, today's crisis in the humanities is also manufactured. Three, a jettisoned archaeogenealogy of civil society and its associated political principle of the common good will show that the crisis in the humanities that is both real and manufactured is indicative of a dramatic transformation of the common good. Four, turning the crisis around therefore will require humanists to rigorously interrogate their own investment in the common good as a single substantive idea or transcendental ideal and, on that radically unsettled ground, begin to articulate alternatives to the late neoliberal common sense, using the classroom as a training ground for others to do the same.

高等教育危机与共同利益的修辞变迁

摘要在本文的撰写过程中，我提出了四个相互关联的主张。第一，当今人文危机是真实的。第二，今天的人文危机也是人为制造的。第三，公民社会的简单考古学及其与公共利益相关的政治原则将表明，人文危机既是真实的也是人为制造的，这预示着公共利益的巨大转变。第四，因此，扭转危机将要求人文主义者作为单一的实质性思想或先验理想，严格审视自己对共同利益的投资，并在那个根本未解决的基础上，开始在课堂上阐明新自由主义常识的替代方案。作为其他人做同样事情的训练场。
