ABSTRACT

For a long time, the reception of German historian and theorist Reinhart Koselleck’s work focused on disciplinary and methodological aspects of conceptual history (Begriffsgeschichte). However, in recent years, there has been an increased interest in Koselleck’s more theoretical discussions on historical time and temporality, highlighting his oeuvre of a theory of the conditions for possible histories (Historik). Taking its cue from the current trend, this article revisits the Koselleckian category of horizon of expectation (Erwartungshorizont) in light of Ernst Bloch’s work on the principle of hope (Das Prinzip Hoffnung) and the concept of utopia as the forward dreaming of the Not-Yet (Noch-Nicht). By exploring and developing the utopian as a formal category – used as a supplement to Koselleck’s conceptualization of the relationship between the space of experience and the horizon of expectation – the article argues that Koselleck’s theory can be reframed into one that can fully account for the utopian imaginaries of political thinking.

摘要

长期以来，德国历史学家和理论家莱因哈特·科塞莱克 (Reinhart Koselleck) 的作品受到的接待主要集中在概念史 ( Begriffsgeschichte ) 的学科和方法论方面。然而，近年来，人们对科塞莱克关于历史时间和时间性的更多理论讨论越来越感兴趣，突出了他关于可能历史的条件理论（Historik）的全部作品。本文从当前趋势中汲取灵感，根据恩斯特·布洛赫 (Ernst Bloch) 关于希望原则 ​​( Das Prinzip Hoffnung ) 的工作以及乌托邦概念作为对非人类的前瞻梦想，重新审视科塞勒克的期望视界 ( Erwartungshorizo​​nt )范畴。然而（Noch-Nicht）。通过探索和发展乌托邦作为一个正式的范畴——用作对科塞莱克关于经验空间和期望视界之间关系的概念化的补充——文章认为，科塞莱克的理论可以重新构建为一个可以充分解释乌托邦的理论。政治思想的想象。
