后人类视域下《我这样的机器》的创生反思

Reflections on the Creation of Machines Like Me from the Perspective of Post Human Beings

麦克尤恩的新作《我这样的机器》在平行时空中勾画了人类与机器人相处的生活场景。人类中心主义受到极大地质疑和挑战,人机共有的普遍生命力形成了一条脆弱的泛人类纽带。后人类语境中人类与机器人所代表的个体主义与泛爱主义的对峙,使得原本用来规范人际交往过程中的道德和法律成为了一种讽刺。现代的商业资本价值观塑造出了各个方面都比人类优越的机器人这一类理想的后人类社会的主体,人造人在满足和迎合人类偏好的同时也在悄然改变着人类的伦理价值观。这样大胆的创生行为强烈要求建构起社会协同系统和情感社会共同体,麦克尤恩正是站在转向后人类的拐角处发出质疑:人类世界已经为机器人的加入做好准备了吗?

McEwan's new work Machines Like Me outlines the life scene of human and robot in parallel time and space.When anthropocentrism is greatly questioned and challenged,the universal vitality shared by man and machine has formed a fragile pan human bond.The confrontation between individualism and pan patriotism rep-resented by human and robot in the later human context makes the morality and law which originally used to regulate the process of interpersonal communication a kind of irony.Modern commercial capital values have created an ideal subject of post-human society,such as robot,which is superior to human beings in all aspects.Man-made people are not only meeting and catering to human preferences,but also quietly modeling human beings.Such adventurous creative behavior strongly requires the construction of social coordination system and emotional social community.McEwan is standing at the corner to ask question:is the human world ready for the integration with robots?
