摘要
莱文森继承了媒介环境学的传统,但流于肤浅。他认为技术悲观论者们只注意技术的弊端,而没有从演化的视角评估技术。莱文森认为技术在初生阶段所带有的弊端将在演化的过程中被淘汰或补救。但莱文森的进化论面临三个问题:谁在进行选择?何以选择?选择的结果如何评估?对这三个问题,莱文森的答案都是"自然——人性",并给出了一幅黑格尔式的理论图景。但他错误地设定了某种前技术的"自然状态"的人性,未能贯彻媒介环境学从生态整体考察媒介的基本立场,没有意识到价值标准也存在范式革命。
Levinson has inherited the tradition of the media ecology, but a superficial one. He believes that the disadvantage of the firstborn technology can be eliminated in the evolutionary process. However, Levinson＇s theory of evolution faces three questions： Who makes selection？ How to make selection？ How to assess the result of selection.＇？ Levinson gives the same answer, ＂nature - humanity＂, with a Hegelian theoretical prospect. But he does not realize the paradigm revolution of the standard of value.
