物质身体、文化身体与技术身体——唐·伊德的“三个身体”理论之简析

Material Body, Cultural Body and Technological Body——A Brief Analysis of Don Ihde’s Theory of the “Three Bodies”

随着“身体性”理论的逐渐成熟,技术哲学家伊德提出“三个身体”理论建立起了他的身体性理论。在他看来,身体一是以胡塞尔、梅洛-庞蒂为代表的现象学派提出的作为肉身建构的身体,即物质身体;身体二是以批判现象学为主的福柯等提出的作为文化建构的身体,即文化身体;身体三则是考虑到技术的因素而作为技术建构的身体,即技术身体。技术的意义凸显而出。这一观点实质上是技术工具论批判的又一新的进展。

With the rise of the body theory, Don Ihde, the philosopher of technology, puts forward his theory about three kinds of bodies. According to him, the first is the material body, which comes from phenomenology from Husserl; the second is the cultural body, from Michel Foucault; and the third takes technological factors into account and constructs the technological body. Here the meaning of technology is emphasized. This account, in essence, marks a new stage on critique of instrumental technology.
