信息技术与意义的嬗变

Information Technology and the Transformation of Meaning

意义问题历来是哲学研究的重大问题。进入信息社会以来,人们对信息技术的社会作用和文化功能讨论较多,但对于信息技术与意义的关系讨论较少。本文以海德格尔的学生,美国哲学家AlbertBorgmann提出的"意义退隐"思想为问题指向,通过意义理论的分析和三分法的方法论的分析,提出如下论点:信息技术引起的"意义退引"问题应该精细地分析,意义在信息时代出现了分化和转型,因此发生嬗变。

The problem of meaning is an important question in the field of philosophy. The social effects and cultural function have been studied from various perspectives but little has been done on the problem of information technology and the meaning. In this paper, we try to discuss the problem of 'meaning decline' which has been studied by Albert Borgmann who is a famous USA philosopher and who was a student of Heidegger. We discuss this problem by analyzing the theory of meaning and by using the principle of trichotomy. We think that the problem of 'meaning decline'should be studied in a detail way. The meaning of meaning has changed and transformed in the information era.
