技术与感性——在麦克卢汉、海森伯和庄子之间的互文性阐释

Technology and Perception: An Inter-Pretation of McLuhan,Heisenberg and Zhuangzi

以麦克卢汉对海森伯和庄子的援引和评论为根基,以技术与感性为中心议题,本文试图建立起三位思想家之间的互文性阐释。在此互文性阐释中,海森伯徘徊在主体统一场和客体统一场之间,而麦克卢汉则径直从电子媒介技术走向主观统一场。庄子是这两个极端的综合和超越,即在感性活动中通达世界本身。对于他们三人来说,现代技术通向的是美学。换言之,现代技术内在地具有美学的维度。

This paper's analysis is based on McLuhan's reference and comments to Heisenberg and Zhuangzi,and focuses on the theme of technology and perception,aiming at an inter-pretation( intertextual interpretation) of the three thinkers. The paper argues that McLuhan goes directly to the unified field of subjecthood by way of electronic media while Heisenberg hovers between the unified fields of subjecthood and of objecthood. Unlike McLuhan and Heisenberg,Zhuangzi is neither subjective nor objective,but enters Dao,the world itself,by sensibility. However,for all of the three,modern technology may lead to aesthetics,that is,there is an aesthetic dimension inherent in modern technology.
