设计与生活世界——当代设计文化的一个现象学反思

Design and Living World:A Phenomenological Reflection on Contemporary Design Culture

工业时代在取得巨大成就的同时,也给人类生存带来了前所未有的危机:环境恶化、资源枯竭、国家和地区发展不平衡、区域性政治动荡等等;更深层次的危机还有文化多样性和传统文化的消失、人类生存价值感和意义感的缺失等。在后工业时代,这些危机更是日益显露出来。设计现象学启示我们以极富智慧的方式对待科学技术、自然环境与人类自身之间的关系,启示我们如何在生活世界寻找人类生存的价值感和意义感。对当代设计文化的现象学反思,其目的并非倡导放弃先进的科学、技术和工艺而恢复到传统的手工艺制造(这是典型的乌托邦主义和历史还原论),而是要从中汲取传统设计文化的智慧和精髓,努力在当下的设计实践中追寻生命存在的价值感和意义感,实现向生活世界的回归。

In the industrial era we have made great achievements. But it has also brought an unprecedented crisis： environmental degradation, resources depletion, national and regional development imbalance and regional political instability. Even deeper crisis is cultural diversity and traditional culture disappearance, sense of the value of human existence and significance loss. In the post-industrial era, these crises become more increasingly apparent. Design phenomenology tells us how to deal with the relationship between science, technology, natural environment and human being, how to pursuit a sense of value of human existence and sense of meaning from living world. Therefore , the reflection on contemporary design culture, it＇s purpose is not to promote design culture of post-industrial give up advanced science and technology and revert to the traditional craft handicraft manufacturing （which is typically utopianism and historical reductionism ）, but really learn from the wisdom of traditional design culture, in order to achieve a return to the life world.
