技术现象学、经验转向与技术文化——伊德的技术哲学评析

Phenomenology of Technology,Empirical Turn and Culture of Technology——Review on Don Ihde's Philosophy of Technology

伊德的技术哲学主要包括技术现象学、技术文化观等方面。伊德的技术现象学探究了人类与技术之间的基本关系。伊德对技术哲学的最大贡献是把技术哲学从形而上的思辨转向了对日常生活中技术问题的研究,这与国内重视"技术实践论"研究存在着相似性。伊德技术哲学的主要缺陷包括:对人与技术的关系只进行了单向度的研究;过份聚焦于技术的本体论与认识论研究,而对作为技术哲学核心的技术价值论研究明显欠缺;研究对象主要面向的是技术而不是技术创新等。

Don Ihde＇s philosophy of technology,including phenomenology of technology,cultural perspective of technology and so on,focuses on the basic relationship between human and technology.His main contribution to philosophy of technology lies in the turn from metaphysical study on technology to study on problems of life-world technology,which is quite similar to the so-called ＂study on practice of technology＂ in our nation.However,the limitations of Don Ihde＇s study are as follows： the study on relationship between man and technology is one-dimensional;his study paid too much attention to the ontological and epistemological level of technology rather than the essential part known as value of technology;and the object of his study is ＂technology＂ instead of ＂technological innovation＂ and so on.
