12这样的批评在阿多诺(Theodor Adorno)那里有一句几乎成为名言警句的总结:“奥斯维辛以后不再有诗。”阿多诺的说法在德国哲学家中是有代表性的。“不再有诗”指的是“不可言说”。把纳粹的极恶视为超乎语言,甚至超乎人的思维极限,是不少哲学家的共同想法。德国学者米切利希(Alexander Mitscherlich)说,面对大屠杀,人甚至不再知道如何哀悼(“inability to morn”),德国哲学家吕伯(Hermann Lubbe)说,在这样的情况下,人只能保持沉默的交流(“communicative silence”)。哲学家们感觉到的是一种极度惊诧之后的“休克”状态。引自Bernhard Giesen,“The Trauma Perpetrators:The ‘Holocaust’as the Traumatic Reference of German National Identity.”In Jeffery C. Alexander,et al.,Cultural Trauma and Collective Identity,p. 116。

但是,公共社会对任何问题,在任何情况下都需要交流。对公共社会来说,“休克”是一种奢侈。过度精致的思想反而会令一般公众厌倦。对于公众来说,说灾难故事,当然包括虚构的故事,是非常必要的。过分精致的思想甚至可能成为产生道德怀疑论、极端相对主义和犬儒主义的温床。把“大屠杀”脱离专制、极权、仇恨和暴力意识形态,抽象为永恒“人性之恶”,就会有这样的危险。人性的软弱固然没错,但人性在某种政治环境中比在别的政治环境中更难有抵抗能力。把像大屠杀这样的“制度之恶”神秘化,仅仅报以虔诚的沉默,有可能导致大恶问题从公共论坛上的“合理消失”。

以想象的作品来再现不能想象的邪恶和罪恶行为,会不会因此轻辱死者,损害到大灾难的庄严和肃穆呢?历史学家、艺术家、思想家从一开始就提出了这个问题。维赛尔和斯坦勒(George Steiner)都曾说过,沉默是对大屠杀受难者最好的尊重。但是,他们的写作生涯又都证实了一种不能不说的责任感。不言说就是在帮助和加速对苦难者的遗忘。在沉默和言说间挣扎,这本身就是一种多么需要言说的特殊灵魂感受。因为这种感受本身就在告诉感受者,他们面对的人间苦难有多么巨大。对这种内在矛盾的分析,参见Jack Kolbert,The Worlds of Elie Wiesel:An Overview of His Career and His Major Themes. London:Associated University Press,2001,pp. 6465,160。
