论技术的起源

On the Origin of Technology

思考技术的起源是理解技术本质的必要环节,技术的起源和劳动是同步的。提出了一种探讨起源问题的"整体规定部分"原则和"后决定"的解释学方法,并应用这一原则和方法,分析了技术(工具制造模式)和劳动(工具使用)的开端,揭示了"工具使用者"向"劳动者"转化的条件和过程,提出"发明工具的机制"和语言符号的产生是技术形成的标志,技术、劳动和人共同诞生于人工自然世界这个整体中。

To understand the essence of technology, it is necessary to explore the origin of technology which developed synchronously with human labor. A principle named 'Integrity Specifies a Part' is put forward with a hermeneultic method called 'Post-decision' to analyze the genesis of both technology or tool-making mode and labor or tool-using. The conditions and process of the transform from 'tool-users' to 'makers' are thus revealed as such that the behavior of tool-invention and creation of lansign marked the formation of technology and that the technology, labor and Homo sapiens all came into being in the world where human labor was integrated well with the nature.
