グローバル社会における科学技術

フィーンバーグの西田論

抄録

This paper discusses Nisida’s thought in the context of the relationship between technology and culture, in order to consider the techno-cultural dominance in a global world. We will refer to a critical consideration on Nishida presented by Andrew Feenberg, one of the representative philosophers of technology today. In “Technology in a Global World”(in Between Reason and Experience, The MIT Press, 2010), Feenberg proposes a new perspective in which he intertwines Nisida’s “theory of the global world(世界的世界論)”(one that considers cultural globalization), with the philosophy of technology. His sensitivity towards culture, ideology, and politics will be helpful in order to understand and clarify the questions of technology and culture in Nishida. His remarks, however, will need to be reconsidered and developed further.
