摘要
“我造物故我在”是工程哲学的一句箴言,也应该是工程社会学的一句箴言。工程活动是“人造物”与“物造人”的双向建构过程;只有通过造物-成人的双重变奏,才能形成人与人、人与物、物与物之间的三重耦合,从而使工程达成“工程自身”;这个三重耦合的实现又有赖于以现场感和工程记忆作为媒介的工程人与工程现场之间的耦合。“人造物”与“物造人”的双重建构是工程本体论的题中应有之义,也是工程社会学得以可能的本体论基础。人、物、技术和制度之间的交互作用特别是关于工程现场的现象学分析,应该成为未来工程哲学与工程社会学研究的一个基本主题。
“I create, therefore I am” is a maxim of philosophy of engineering, and should also be considered as a maxim of sociology of engineering. It is argued that engineering activity is a two-way constructive process of “I create” and “I am created”. Only through the two-way accommodation of “creating” and “being created”, can the triple coupling between man and man, man and thing, and thing and thing be formed, enabling engineering to be “the engineering itself”. The realization of this triple coupling depends on the coupling between the engineering practitioners and the engineering site with the sense of engineering site and engineering memory as the media. The dual construction of “I create” and “I am created” is the essential meaning of engineering ontology and also the ontological basis of sociological studies of engineering. The interaction between people, things, technology and institutions,especially the phenomenological analysis of the engineering site, should become a basic theme of the future philosophical and sociological studies of engineering.
