技术祛魅与道德祛魅

在关于科学技术与道德关系的争论中,人们非常真诚地希望以道德匡正技术,以价值理性祛魅工具理性。这当然不乏合理性。然而,问题的另一方面是:道德是否先在地就是善的,是否无条件地具有拯救现代技术的资格与功能?“道德对于技术究竟能做些什么?其合理性限度是何?”可能是我们在思考现代技术及其价值合理性根据时必须加以正视的问题。

GA and PSO culled hybrid technique for economic dispatch problem with prohibited operating zones

This paper presents an efficient and reliable genetic algorithm (GA) based particle swarm optimization (PSO) tech- nique (hybrid GAPSO) for solving the economic dispatch (ED) problem in power systems. The non-linear characteristics of the generators, such as prohibited operating zones, ramp rate limits and non-smooth cost functions of the practical generator operation are considered. The proposed hybrid algorithm is demonstrated for three different systems and the performance is compared with the GA and PSO in terms of solution quality and computation efficiency. Comparison of results proved that the proposed algo- rithm can obtain higher quality solutions efficiently in ED problems. A comprehensive software package is developed using MATLAB.

技术祛魅与道德祛魅——现代生命技术道德合理性限度反思

本文以对现代生命技术研究与应用的道德反思为切入点 ,以道德在新技术革命中的作用及其合理性限度为论旨 ,追问“道德在何种意义上可以担当技术选择的仲裁”、“技术何以有禁区 ,道德能否为技术划定禁区”及“是技术离开了道德 ,还是道德离开了技术” ,认为当代人类在祛魅技术的同时应当避免附魅道德 ,技术祛魅与道德祛魅是当代人类同时面临的两个重任。
