《启蒙辩证法》视域下的技术理性批判

Critique of Technological Rationality From the Perspective of“Enlightenment Dialectics”

启蒙的目的在于使人类从被束缚的世界中解放出来,去追求自由,伴随启蒙而开启的是文明的诞生,给人们带来物质和精神上的极大满足。在启蒙精神的历史时期,理性是其最重要的概念,对不同启蒙概念的探索,实则也是对不同理性概念的探索。随着人类对自然探索的不断深入,理性逐渐成为人类统治自然的工具,人们在实现解放人类自由的实践过程中,理性所暗藏的功利色彩被呈现出来,然后理性又转化为技术理性。因此,反思启蒙是人们的必然选择,反思启蒙不是反对启蒙,而是重新审视在新的历史时期中启蒙的价值和局限性。

The purpose of enlightenment is to liberate human beings from the bound world,to pursue freedom,so as to open the birth of civilization with enlightenment and bring people great material and spiritual satisfaction.In the historical period of enlightenment spirit,reason is the most important concept.The exploration of different enlightenment concepts is actually the exploration of different rational concepts.With the deepening of human’s exploration of nature,rationality has gradually become a tool for human to rule nature.In the process of practice of liberating human freedom,the utilitarian color hidden in rationality is presented,and then rationality is transformed into technical rationality.Therefore,reflection on enlightenment is our inevitable choice.Reflection on enlightenment is not against enlightenment,but to re-examine the value and limitations of enlightenment in the new historical period.
