★日本重量級思想家柄谷行人跨科際、整合全面知識的顛峰之作！★以動態的「力」而非靜態模式來理解歷史的運作，指出人類未來的方向！柄谷行人在經濟歷史學的貢獻，是以四種「交換模式」出發的觀點，補充、擴大了馬克思《資本論》中「生產模式」所無法涵蓋的層面。繼二〇一〇年奠定其理論體系的《世界史的結構》，十二年後，他在本書中進一步修補社會主義理論的基礎、說明歷史演變的原理，並以交換模式D作為對未來的展望。在這本被視為柄谷思想體系的顛峰之作中，柄谷行人以「物神」、「靈」的角度，闡述是什麼樣的「力」促使交換模式A（互酬式：贈予與回禮）、B（服從與保護：掠奪與再分配）、C（商品交換：貨幣與商品）、D（A在高次元中的回復）的複雜運作。在四種交換模式中當中，各自有強大的「力」在糾纏、拮抗。這些「力」難以被察覺，因此歷來學者少能釐清。例如，「交換模式C與B都具有超越人類意志的『力』。在民主主義的國家體制裡，人們認為自己是自由的；但他們並沒有察覺，自己只是變得對C與B的『力』更順從而已。」若不釐清「力」的真相，便難以具體描繪出模式D，人類將難以走出當今的困局。歷史上，嘗試揚棄國家（模式B）與資本（模式C）的學者大有人在，馬克斯避免了「神」的觀點，而康德則將社會的歷史，視為自然的「隱微的計畫」。他在社會的歷史中，發現了既不是人、也不是神的某種作用，並稱之為「自然」。柄谷行人則循著康德的思路，認為這「自然」就是模式D的作用。而模式D，將是未來人類的出路。紀金慶｜臺師大通識中心兼任助理教授黃雅嫺｜國立中央大學哲學研究所助理教授廖欽彬│廣東中山大學哲學系教授龔卓軍│臺南藝術大學藝術創作理論研究所副教授董啟章│小說家鄭重推薦（按姓氏筆劃排列）
