现代技术系统的热力学透视

从系统论的观点来看,现代技术已发展成一个自我确证的系统。作为一种热力学规律,熵定律用于对现代技术实践进行审视具有启发意义,表现在:通过技术达到的秩序化只是一种局部秩序,结果是全球混乱;现代社会的进步只是少数人繁荣,与之共存的是多数人贫困;经济增长只是一个挪用有序度过程,而不是有序度的全球增长。在全球问题面前,不能盲目贬低技术功能,构建低熵社会和低碳生活应当充分发挥技术的作用,关键是应当用净低熵作为技术评价内在价值。

A Study on Modern Technology System from the Perspective of Thermodynamic

From the viewpoint of system theory,modern technology has developed into a self-confirmation system.As a law of thermodynamics,law of entropy is used to examine the practice of modern technology.We can find some instructive results as follows: we can only achieve local order through technology and the result is the global chaos;the progress of modern society is a process of prosperity for a few people,but the majority of people will be in poverty;and the economic growth is a process of use order but not the...
