The Substitutive Experience of the Technological Era and the Issue of Personal Moral Experience

Abstract

Abstract: One's criticism of the technological era takes place simutaneously with his self-consciusness. In contemporary world, technology is increasingly regarded as a process of autonamy and impersonality. How to personalize the process?And how to make modern human beings have a clear consciousness of the technological era?These are serious issues confronting every humanist.In view of the nature of morality, much of the subsitutive experience produced in the technologicalera is doing harm to the practical basis of morality, which has an essential role in social life. Therefore, it's significant for us to establish practical wisdom and independent personal moral experience in the technological era so as to avoid the consciousness of loneliness among contemporary human beings.

Key words: technology, morality, substitutive experience, personal moral experience

摘要： 人对自己生活于其中的科技时代的批判,是与人的自我意识一同发生的。当今世界,科技已越来越被当作自主的、异在于人的并沿着非人性化的惯性而展开的过程。如何对这一过程重新进行人化?如何使现代人具有科技进步时代的人的内容的清醒意识?这是每一个人文学者必须给予严肃关注的问题。从道德本性的角度视之,科技社会所制造的大量的替代经验对道德实践基础的蚕食和颠覆,具有根本的决定性的作用。因此,在科技社会中如何确立实践智慧、个人亲证在道德领域里的独立性,对于避免当代人的“道德孤儿”的命运,便具有头等重要的意义。
