Abstract:Jürgen Habermas has warned of an incomplete enlightenment with one realm of expertise—aesthetic, moral, scientific, or political—invading and spoiling all others. German director Edgar Reitz shows this happening in his "film-novel" Das Ende der Zukunft. First aesthetics, primed for beauty and morally forgetful, threatens the truth of an individual's suffering. Next, and worse, political opportunism erases individual suffering. Reitz's film invites considerations of how suffering, beauty, and morality connect—connections fundamentally and variously delineated by eighteenth-century thinkers such as the Third Earl of Shaftesbury, Edmund Burke, and Immanuel Kant.

不完全的启蒙：埃德加·赖茨的《未来的终结与苦难的美学》

摘要：尤尔根·哈贝马斯 (Jürgen Habermas) 警告说，一种不完整的启蒙，只具有一个专长领域——美学、道德、科学或政治——入侵和破坏所有其他领域。德国导演埃德加·雷茨在他的“电影小说”Das Ende der Zukunft 中展示了这种情况。以美为先的美学和道德健忘的第一美学威胁着个人痛苦的真相。其次，更糟糕的是，政治机会主义消除了个人的痛苦。Reitz 的电影引发了对苦难、美丽和道德如何相互联系的思考——这些联系由 18 世纪的思想家，如沙夫茨伯里的第三伯爵、埃德蒙·伯克和伊曼纽尔·康德，从根本上和多方面地描绘出来。
