“解蔽”与“遮蔽”的技术消费——共享经济中信息技术的哲学研究

“Cover”and“Off- cove”in Technological Consumption——A Philosophical Study on Information Technology in Sharing Economy

共享经济作为一种新型的消费模式,在全球范围内飞速发展。在这样一种本质为"技消费"的新型消费形态中,信息技术在其中既"解蔽"又"遮蔽"了消费:一方面,它使我们已有的消费需求实现了从一定程度的"混沌"到更为清晰明了的转变,同时又使我们潜在的消费需求得到挖掘,使我们能够更好地认识消费,从而通过技术使得消费在更高层面上实现人的存在本性——需要;但另一方面,它会使共享经济中我们的消费理性和消费技能建立于技术理性之上,消费者受到技术更大的"宰制",这可能引发"技术理性战胜个体理性"和共享经济中"操作自主性"的加强。为了避免共享经济中新的消费"遮蔽"所带来的负面可能性,需要在社会建构技术的基础上,改写已有共享经济中的"技术代码",从而避免消费个体可能因"遮蔽"所带来的新的"异化"。

As a new consumption mode, sharing economy has been developing rapidly in the global scope. In this technological consumption, information technology brings not only ＂off - cove＂, but also ＂cover＂ in sharing economy. On the one hand, information technology will prompt our prior consumption demand to become clearer and our underlying demand to be digged, which makes us understand the consumption better. In other words, needs, the nature of human existence, can be realized better by information technology; on the other hand, in sharing economy, information technology will make our consu- ming rationality and consuming skill be based on technical rationality so that technology will dominate consumers more severely, which may cause＂ techni- cal rationality prevailing over individual rationality＂ and ＂autonomization＂. For avoiding these, we need change prior ＂technical code＂ by the social con- struction of technology to avoid new ＂alienation on consumption＂ in sharing economy.
