生态文明与新科技

Eco-civilization and New Science-Technology

关于工业文明发展前途的分歧是关于现代性的分歧。现代性思想的核心是独断理性主义或科学主义。现代科技就是无限扩张人类征服力的征服性科技。独断理性主义和极端现代主义所形塑的文明就是正在全球扩展的现代工业文明。独断理性主义是站不住脚的,现代工业文明是不可持续的。人类必须走向生态文明,为走向生态文明,必须促成科技的生态学转向。放弃穷尽自然奥秘的野心而转向理解自然,就是科学的生态学转向。由不断扩张征服力的技术转向调适性技术,就是技术的生态学转向。西方古代的生成性技术和中国古代"赞天地之化育"的农耕技术都是生态文明所需要的技术。

The debates on the future of industrial civilization are ones on modernity. The core of modem thoughts is dogmatical rationalism or scientism. Modem science - technology is conquering science - technology which is expan- ding with the growth of power. The civilization with the guidance of dogmatical rationalism and high modernism is the very modem industrial civilization expanding globally. But dogmatical rationalism is untenable, and modem in- dustrial civilization is unsustainable. Human civilization has to go toward eco - civilization. To construct eco - civili- zation,it is necessary to encourage the ecological turning of science - technology. Trying to understand nature but not trying to exhaust the whole secrets of nature is just the ecological turning of science. To go from conquering tech- nology to tuning technology is just the ecological turning of technology. The poietic skill in ancient Greece and the agricultural skill in ancient China are both the typical tuning technology which can really support eco - civilization.
