摘要: In “What is Enlightenment?” Foucault uses Kant’s words that we should never be guided by authority, tutelage, religion, or depend on any forms of authority. However, Foucault raises a question: Are we really enlightened? The overwhelming power of capitalism along with the declines of experience aggravates our dependence on authority. The problem has become more and more serious because of increase in deskilling which is gradually making human beings lose the significance of their existence. In postmodern society, the greater masses are deskilling while the fewer masses do the jobs which require professional knowledge. The phenomenon of deskilling derives from the concept of the assembly line in a capitalist society. That is to say, we are easily replaced by others or mechanical equipment. Heroes are no longer needed because everyone can be replaced by others or machines. Moreover, human beings are led by capitalism to believe that accumulation of commodity and spectacles will definitely pave a way to perfection. More and more commodities and spectacles seem to tell the masses that we enjoy an abundant life. The creation of spectacles aims to give rise to false blessed feelings. It is obvious that we are led by the authority-capitalism.
