【内容简介】

究竟怎样看待科技，历史上有两种基本取向：第一种是科学主义，试图说明科学为什么是合理的，以对科学进行辩护为标志；第二种是反科学主义，即对科学技术进行批判，指斥科技给当下世界带来巨大风险。刘大椿先生近些年提出“科技审度论”，认为单纯的辩护和单纯的批判都是有局限的，人们对科技的立场，应从之前的正反对立，转向“多元审度”。这套三卷本的背景是关于科学技术的哲学争论，特别是包括马克思的观点，倡议科学技术的审度观，探讨科学技术哲学如何应对科学技术的发展和不断变化的世界。

第一卷从科学技术的定位、科学技术的历史实践、科学技术的异化、科学技术与生产力和人类自由的关系五个部分分析了马克思对科学技术的审度。

第二卷讨论了科学主义和反科学主义的观点和问题，涉及工具理性、科学乐观主义和悲观主义、非理性主义和科学主义的解构等主题。

第三卷讨论了互补的价值选择、科学文化的失落与觉醒，并揭示了一个自由开放的科技世界的愿景。

Reconsideration of Science and Technology I: Reflection on Marx’s View

By Liu Dachun, Wang Bolu, Ding Junqiang, Liu Yongmou

Description：This volume analyzes Karl Marx’s understanding of science and technology and how it is associated with his focus on the perspective of history and human practice, seeking to illuminate a renewed understanding of science and technology from a Marxist angle.As the first volume of a three-volume set that proposes to reconsider science and technology and explores how the philosophy of science and technology responds to an ever-changing world, the book delves into Marx’s analysis of scientific and technological problems and phenomena across five chapters. The authors explain the positioning of science and technology and the Marxist theoretical perspective of history and practice from which Marx’s views on science and technology derive before an examination of three focal dimensions pertaining to science and technology: productivity, technological alienation and liberty. Not always viewed as central to Marx’s works, discussions on science and technology are often underdeveloped – but a reinterpretation of Marx’s thoughts on the issues corroborates the efficacy of Marxism in terms of understanding today’s world and especially the development of science and technology.

Reconsideration of Science and Technology II: Scientism and Anti-Scientism

By Liu Dachun, Ai Zhiqiang, Yang Huili

Description: In reviewing and reconsidering the intellectual history of scientism and antiscientism, the authors assess the process of reasoning and prejudices of these contrasting viewpoints, while discussing the repercussions of scientific hegemony and its contemporary criticism.As the second volume of a three-volume set that proposes to reconsider science and technology and explores how the philosophy of science and technology responds to an ever-changing world, this title focuses on ideological trends centering around scientism and anti-scientism since the 19th century. The six chapters look into the emergence of scientism, instrumental reason, scientific optimism, scientific pessimism, scientific crisis and irrationalism and finally the deconstruction of scientism. The authors provide insight into the connections and biases of these disparate views and critiques, explore the influences of the hegemony of science and contemporary critique of science and evaluate the value of postmodernism and deconstructivism.

Reconsideration of Science and Technology III: An Open World

By Liu Dachun, Yang Huili, Fan Shanshan

Description: Drawing on debates from traditional and postmodern thoughts on science and technology, the title builds a new theoretical framework to reconsider science and technology, integrating the opposing viewpoints that either justify science or negate it.As the third volume of a three-volume set that proposes to reconsider science and technology and explores how the philosophy of science and technology responds to an ever-changing world, this final volume seeks to restore the cultural implications of science. Across the six chapters, the authors probe the prospect of a pluralistic scientific culture, including discussions of diversified value choices, the tension between reason and unreason, other binary characteristics of scientific knowledge, including objectivity and uniqueness, universality and locality, as well as the loss, awakening and reconstruction of scientific culture. The authors call for a transformation of scientific culture from a dominant culture to an affirmative one and envision a free and open world of science and technology.
