技术时代的“美好生活”--论京特·安德斯的批判性美好生活观

“A Better Life”in the Age of Technology--On Günther Anders’Critical View on a Better Life

当今时代是技术时代,人们在技术的助推下理应过上美好生活,但“技术是一把双刃剑”理论与技术运用的现实充分说明技术时代人们生活并不美好。安德斯立足于技术时代的背景,在对技术异化与人的过时批判认识的基础上,流露出从技术、制度与文化三个维度建构美好生活的意愿。在技术发展的新时代,虽然中西方的美好生活存在差异,但安德斯的批判性美好生活观对数字技术时代的中国利用数字技术赋能助推美好生活、进行数字生态与生活建设、打造数字命运共体仍具有重要的启示价值。

The current era is the era of technology,and people should live a better life with the help of technology.However,the theory of“technology is a double-edged sword”and the reality of technology application fully demonstrate that people’s lives in the era of technology are not beautiful at all.Based on the background of the technological era and his critical understanding of technological alienation and human obsolescence,Anders expressed a willingness to construct a better life from three dimensions:technology,system,and culture.In the new era of technological development,although there are differences in the view of a better life between China and the West,Anders’critical view still has important enlightening value for China to use digital technology to empower and promote a better life,carry out digital ecology and life construction,and create a digital community with a shared future in the digital technology era.
