技术何以决定人之本质

技术是生产力,但不仅仅是生产力;技术是实践活动展开的基础,处于主体与客观世界的中介地位,支持着实践目的的有效实现.人类依靠技术途径与仪器工具系统的支持,超越了自然物种的限制.以技术创新与推广应用为基础的人的新进化,不仅弥补了人类天赋本能方面的种种欠缺,而且也使人类的后天才能迅速提升,日渐成为一种技术"超人"和自然界的"霸主".技术在人类目的性活动过程中发挥着不可替代的作用,并因此决定人之本质.

How Technology Decides the Essence of Humankind

Technology is but not only a kind of productive power.As the medium between the subject and the objective world,technology is the foundation on which humankind is developing their practical activities to support and realize what they want to have and put into practice.Relying on technological approaches and instrumental systems,humankind transcends the natural limits.The new evolution of humankind on the ground of technological innovation and popularization not only makes up for many deficiencies of human endowments but also exalts human acquired talents rapidly,thus making humankind become a "technological superman" and the "overlord" of the nature.Technology plays an indispensable role in the process of human intentional activities and therefore decides the essence of human.
