从互联网到物联网:技术哲学的新探索

From Internet to Internet of Things: A New Exploration of Philosophy of Technology

作为"第三代信息技术"的物联网,使互联网在网络对象、网络功能和网络范围上得到了进一步的扩展,由此引发了新的哲学思考。对物联网已有的哲学探索揭示了它所带来的生产方式、物的存在方式、人的生存方式等方面的新变化,但物联网的哲学意义还应涵括信息技术与生产技术、信息与物质的关系问题,并深入探讨它对人的异化、对物的自然性即自身的限度等方面提出的新问题。

As the third generation of IT, internet of things further expands internet in network object, network function and network range, and brings about a lot of new philosophical reflections. The existing philosophical inquiries into Internet of things have already revealed the new modes of production, existence of things and mankind survival, but its philosophical significance should also cover the relationship between IT and production technology and between information and material, and involve such issues as the human alienation, the naturality of objects and the limitations of Internet of things.
