Abstract: As an academic market behavior or academic marketization trend，“academic capitalism” is driven by globalization and the knowledge economy. And it is an irreversible trend of the modern enlightenment. The book Dialectic of Enlightenment describes the arrogation of instrumental rationality to humanistic spirit caused by enlightenment，leading to the retrogression of enlightenment consciousness or “enlightenment paradox”. Dialectic of Enlightenment provides a novel perspective for understanding “academic capitalism”. And similar to Dialectic of Enlightenment，the paradox is also built in “academic capitalism” due to the erosion of instrumental rationality embodied in the logic of capital to academic value rationality. However，we still need to maintain a reflective attitude towards the perspective in Dialectic of Enlightenment.

Key words: academic capitalism, Dialectic of Enlightenment, instrumental rationality, humanistic spirit

摘要： “学术资本主义”是由全球化和知识经济所带动的一种学术市场行为或学术市场化倾向，是现代启蒙运动不可逆转的趋势。《启蒙辩证法》一书描述了启蒙所导致的工具理性对人文精神的僭越，引发了启蒙意识的倒退或“启蒙悖论”这一现象。《启蒙辩证法》为理解“学术资本主义”提供了一个新的视角。“学术资本主义”中资本逻辑所体现的工具理性对学术价值理性的侵蚀，也在塑造着与《启蒙辩证法》相似的悖论。然而，对于《启蒙辩证法》这一视角，我们仍需保持反思的态度。
