当代科技创新的颠覆性及其现代化价值重估

The Subversiveness of Scientific and Technological Innovation and the Reevaluation of Its Value in the Modernization Process

对于科技创新在现代化进程中的巨大推动作用,学术界给予了足够的重视。但是,科技创新也具有严峻的两面性,它在推动现代化高速发展的同时,也在悄然颠覆人类传统的生活方式、生产方式、价值观念及其现代化进程,导致现代化进程的自反性,遗憾的是学术界对此没有给予足够的重视。为此,我们有必要结合现代化的自反性重新评估人类的科技创新活动。

The role of scientific and technological innovation in pushing forward modernization has drawn much attention of the academic circle. Scientific and technological innovations, however, are also a double-edged sword. While rapidly pushing forward the modernization, they are quietly subverting man's traditional lifestyle and modes of production, his values and the modernization of man himself, which has in turn led to the reflexivity of modernization process. Unfortunately, it fails to attract enough attention from the academia. Therefore, it is necessary for us to reevaluate man's innovative activities in science and technology with the reflexivity of modernization being taken into account.
