技术社会语境:基于技术三大理论范式的审视

Examining the Contemporary Social Context, Based on Three Theoretical Paradigm Perspectives of Technology

技术场域中三大理论范式彰显了技术社会语境的多种价值理性和理路,其语境意蕴的当代考量应当坚持真理性认识的一元性和价值性认识的多元性的统一。工具理论社会语境的根本点就在于技术没有自身的价值内涵,要服从于政治和文化等其他社会领域中所建立的价值。实体理论认为技术构成了一种新的社会文化体系,这种文化的社会实践控制了技术价值目标的选择和方法的运用,人类和客观存在物被技术权力贬黜为单纯的利用对象而丧失了批判精神。技术批判理论拒斥了技术宿命论思想,认为技术与社会的人文价值并不对立,技术社会价值目标的选择必须嵌入人类生态价值观的理念,其社会语境意蕴是构建成一种新的社会文明来规划和处理技术问题。

Three theoretical paradigms of technology in the field of social context demonstrate the technological society context variety of value rationality and logic, while the context of contemporary meaning and value should be an element of truth to know the diversity of unity. The fundamental purport of social context theory in technology is not the value its own connotation, but obeys the value of the established political, cultural and other social fields. The entity theory regards that technology has formed a social and cultural system with the social practice of cultural and technologic control of the value goal for human existence, and is degraded by technology power,being simplified and lost the spirit of criticism. Based on the critical theory of technology, the technology of re-jecting fatalist thought that the human value of technology and society are not opposites, the choice of social value goal of technology must be embedded into human ecological value idea, and the social context of meaning is the socialist democracy construction embedded into a new social civilization to settle the technical problems.
