现代世界与人文科学

文章通过对现代世界 (“雷奥那多”世界 )之技术形态和文化形态的分析 ,从人文科学和其他科学相互合作的角度探讨了那些根源于现代世界之双重性的问题 ,以及那些与双重文化之谜及所谓人文科学补充论有关的问题 ,并认为 ,人文科学的独特任务在于分析世界的文化形式并推动其发展。在这个意义上讲 ,人文科学应该是现代世界获取 ,并且是以科学的形式获取关于它自身知识的场所 ,虽然现代世界本身是科学和技术的产物。在此 ,文化概念不是指那种在双重文化论框架内由人文科学所代表的支离破碎意义上的文化存在 ,而是在广义上同时包容人文科学和自然科学及技术。

The Modern World and the Humanities

Based on an analysis of the technological and cultural form of the modern world ("Leodardo World"), problems which arise from this duality with regard to the cooperation of the humanities with other sciences and to questions arising from a two cultures myth and the so-called compensation theory of the humanities are discussed. The particular task of the humanities is seen to be in the analysis and in the development of the cultural form of the world. The humanities in this sense should be the place in which the modern world, which is first and foremost the work of science and technology, acquires a knowledge of itself and does this in the form of science. In this respect the concept of culture used here, as opposed to the concept of an amputated culture that is marked as the territory of the humanities in the framework of the two cultures myth, includes the humanities as well as the natural sciences and technology.
