技术形象的后现代解读

阐述了在不同的历史阶段人们对技术在社会中的形象的不同认识。从由于科技水平低下而使人们对自然敬畏,到科技的发达而使人们逐渐成为大自然的主人进而形成技术统治论和人类中心主义的思想,再到由于科学技术应用的两面性而使人们对技术产生困惑,技术在人们的心目中也逐渐演变为斯芬克斯、宙斯、撒旦等形象,反映了不同历史阶段人们对技术的不同态度。对新时代,或当人类逐渐走向后现代社会的时候,应该如何看待技术的社会形象问题,从科技史与自然观的角度加以历史的梳理与分析,指出,现时代技术问题以及由于技术应用而出现的社会问题,还应该依靠技术自身的力量来解决,进而走向技术乐观主义。

Postmodern scan to technological image

Human beings have different understandings of technological images in society in different historical stages.From standing in awe of nature due to the lowly science and technology level,to becoming the master of the nature by the developing of science and technology,and then forming the idea of technocracy and anthropocentrism,furthermore,by the dual effect of technological application,human beings are puzzled about technology.Technology has different social images such as Sphinx,Zeus,Satan,and so on,it reflects the different attitudes of mankind to technology in different historical stages.Clears up and analyses how should people look on the social image of technology through the angle in history of science and technology and natural view in new era,when human beings step into the postmodern society.Points out that the technical problems and the social problems brought about by technology should be resolved by technology itself,and then head for the technique optimism.
