内容简介
······

Heidegger's landmark critique of modern technology and its relation to metaphysics has been widely accepted in the East. Yet the conception that there is only one-originally Greek-type of techne has been an obstacle to any original critical thinking of technology in modern Chinese thought. This book argues for the urgency of imagining a specifically Chinese philosophy of technology capable of responding to Heidegger's conception and problematizing the affirmation of technics and technologies as anthropologically universal. Yuk Hui's systematic historical survey of Chinese thought in comparison to the antique philosophy in Europe explains why there is no systematic thinking of technics in Chinese thought. His subsequent investigation of the historical-metaphysical questions of modern technology, drawing on Lyotard, Simondon, and Stiegler, then sheds new light on the obscurity of the question of technology in China. Why has time never been a real question for Chinese philosophy, how has the category of Qi transformed in its relation to Dao in Chinese metaphysical discourse, and how might Chinese thought contribute to a renewed questioning of globalized technics?

评论 ······

主要是被后半部分吸引,所谓器-道的连续性被打断以后,对cosmotechnics的观念的生发。感叹人类学和哲学方法论的不同,比如器-道的连续性,在人类学看来是否真的被打破,这有待商榷,而作者写的是从一个宏观的视角所看到的,一种历史的大叙事。提出cosmotechnics的概念,是很有价值的。我觉得很精彩的有熊十力关于智性直觉的论述和康德做对比,由此可见东西方哲学对知识的不同认识、关于“时间”的不同…

对东西方形而上/关于practice与theory关系的思考的叙述与对比完备且深刻。但是在讲到最后究竟要如何重建cosmotechnics来对应西方的global axis of time时稍显乏力,感觉滑了一下就草草结束了。以及sino-futurism和anthropocene真的是非常好的发散点啊,为什么就讲几页就跳过了呢。(所以是一本极好的文献综述和稍显一般的个人论点阐释?)就算这样也受益…

脉络性相当清晰。但其实建设性的部分主要就是对cosmotechnics这个概念的提出,但这个概念无非就是说对techne的理解是有文化语境的、非西方(古希腊传统)中心的,与不同文化中的宇宙论紧密相关的。同时许煜的香港身份也让他感觉跟中国思想的圆融理解之间隔着一层(这或许在问题的连贯性以及学术交流的意义上是好事)。仅作为问题的开始还是完成度不错的。没太仔细读明白的地方有援引其导师Stiegler、L…

不见得很差,但有这个时间不如去听海德格尔分析词根。
