技术自主论思想溯源

On the Source of Theory of Autonomous Technology

技术自主论最初的思想源头可以追溯到万物有灵论。马克思的技术异化思想是技术自主论的一个思想来源,马克思考察的劳动的异化内在地包含着技术的异化。20世纪的学者从不同的角度阐发了技术自主的思想。技术自主论的产生有其深刻的社会历史根源,社会发展到今天已成为技术化的社会,技术化社会中的人的生存是一种技术生存,技术是人的天命,技术自主论不过是以迂回的形式揭示了人与技术的这种关系。

The idea of autonomous technology originated from both animism and Karl Marx＇s thought about technology dissimilation that was involved in his idea about labor dissimilation. In the 20th century some scholars expounded the idea of autonomous technology from different angles. The birth of the theory of autonomous technology had its own profound social and historical roots. Technicalization is now an important symbol of human society, and in such a society the human existence is unavoidably a technicalized existence. Technology becomes man＇s fatality, and the theory of autonomous technology is nothing but a revelation of the relation between human beings and technology in a roundabout form.
