Tarih, Ütopya ve Siyaset: Martin Buber ve Ernst Bloch’un Aktif Mesiyanizmi

Year 2022, Volume: 11 Issue: 21, 75 - 86, 01.09.2022

Abstract

Bu makale, siyasetin ve siyasal eylemin olanaklılık koşullarını sorgulamayı amaçlayan bir çalışmadır. Siyaset, 18. ve 19. yüzyıllardan itibaren ilerleme düşüncesinin ve tarih felsefelerinin eşliğinde düşünülmüş bir kavramdır. Bu süreçte tarihin anlamını bir idealden ya da tedrici bir süreçten türeten görüşler ile siyasal eylemin ontolojisi arasında köklü bir uyuşmazlığın meydana geldiğinden bahsetmek mümkündür. Bu nedenle, 20. yüzyıl tarihinin uzun bir kesiti, özgürlük ve özerklik fikri ile bağlantılı aktif bir siyaset düşüncesinin zayıflığına tanıklık etmiştir. Bu zayıflığın temel sebeplerden biri, ilerleme kavramı ve tarih felsefeleri ile zamansallık fikrinin siyaset düşüncesine sirayet etmiş olmasıdır. Tarih, tarihin amacı ve gelişme dinamiklerine dayalı olarak anlam kazanıyor ise bireysel ahlaki yükümlülüklerden ya da irade sahibi siyasal bir öznellikten ne ölçüde söz edilebilir? Teleolojik ve diyalektik zamansallık düşüncesi ile siyasi eylem ve etik arasında nasıl bir ilişki kurulabilir? Din, ütopya ve siyaset arasında alışılmamış bağlar kuran Buber ve Bloch, bu gibi sorulara verdikleri özgün cevaplarla güncelliğini koruyan bir siyaset ve toplum felsefesi geliştirmişlerdir.

History, Utopia and Politics: The Active Messianism of Martin Buber and Ernst Bloch

Year 2022, Volume: 11 Issue: 21, 75 - 86, 01.09.2022

Abstract

This article is an introductory investigation into a study of the conditions of possibility of politics and political action. Since the 18th and 19th centuries, politics is a concept that has been considered in the accompaniment of the idea of progress and philosophies of history. In this process, it is possible to talk about a radical incompatibility between the views that derive the meaning of history from an ideal or a gradual process and the ontology of political action. Thus, a long section of 20th century history has witnessed the weakness of an active political thought associated with the idea of freedom and autonomy. One of the main reasons for this weakness is that the concept of progress and philosophies of history and the idea of temporality have permeated political thought. To what extent can one talk about individual moral obligations or a political subjectivity with will, if history gains meaning based on the purpose and developmental dynamics of history? What is the relationship between the teleological and dialectical idea of temporality and political action and ethics? Buber and Bloch, who established unconventional links between religion, utopia and politics, put forward a political and social philosophy that remains up-to-date with their original answers to such questions.
