可持续技术还是可持续使用?——从“技术人工物的双重属性”谈开去

Sustainable Technology or Sustainable Use?——From the Research Program of "The Dual Nature of Technical Artifacts"

技术人工物双重属性的技术解释学论纲强调,技术的结构由设计所确定,而技术的功能则由使用所赋予,这就进一步将人们的视野聚焦到生活世界,由此产生的一个困惑是:可持续的到底是技术还是使用?诚然,技术为使用提供的仅仅是"已经在此"的人工物,而使用则将这种"已经在此"的人工物转变为"上手"和"在手"的人工物。

It is emphasized by the program of the dual nature of technical artifacts that the structure of technology is determined by design and the function of technology is conferred by use, which focuses the vision of people into the further life -world, and therefore results in a puzzle：which is sustainable to the end, technology or use？ To be sure, what the technology provides is only the artifacts of ＂already being here＂, nevertheless,it is the practice of use that translates the artifacts of ＂already being here＂ into the artifacts of ＂in hand＂ and ＂on hand＂.
