论现代信息技术对认识结构的影响

On the Influences of Modern Information Technology on Cognition Structure

现代信息技术对包括认识主体、认识客体与认识中介在内的整个认识结构都产生了巨大影响,各种认识要素都打上了"信息化"的烙印。在认识主体方面,现代信息技术使认识主体的能动性与创造力增强;"自然人"的认识主体地位受到了前所未有的挑战,新的人工智能体正将成为新的认识主体;认识主体的知识来源发生了变化,已经从"有机"走向"无机",且认识主体的认识方式实现了逻辑计算认识的"转向"。在认识客体方面,现代信息技术延展了认识客体的范畴;导致了对认识客体"实在性"质疑的增加。在认识中介方面,现代信息技术使得由客观世界向认识主体的信息传递单向线性路径发生了改变,更多体现的是认识结构三要素间的"交互性"特征;它还使认识中介的信息承载力得到大幅提升,且"智能性"特征愈来愈明显。

Modem information technology has exerted a tremendous influence on the entire cognition structure including the subject, the object, and the cognitive agency. All kinds of cognitive elements have been marked by ＂informatization＂. In terms of the subject, modem information technology has enhanced the initiative and creativity of the subject ; the subjective status of the ＂natural person＂ has been challenged unprecedentedly, and the new artificial agent is now becoming the new subject; The source of knowledge of the subject has changed from ＂organic＂ to ＂inorganic＂, and the cognitive method of the subject realizes the turn of logical computational cognition. As far as the object is concerned, modem information technology has extended the scope of the object; it has led to an increase in the questioning of the ＂ reality＂ of the object of knowledge. In the aspect of cognition intermediaries, modem information technology has changed the one-way linear path of information transmission from the objective world to the subject. What is more reflected is the ＂interaetivity＂ characteristic of the three elements of the cognition structure. It also greatly enhances the information carrying capacity of cognitive agents, and the ＂intelligent＂ features become increasingly apparent.
