庄子科技观及其哲学基础

摘要

庄子在科技问题上有一种矛盾的态度：一方面不断提出并思索科学问题，另一方面又贬斥科学探索的价值；一方面赞叹技术在日常生活中的巨大作用，另一方面又顾忌技术的进步会带来人为物役和生态平衡的破坏。庄子这种科技观的形成有其深厚的哲学基础，从其哲学的核心范畴、基本原则、认识方法论和思维方式等四个方面明显可以看出这一点。%ZhuangZi had a contradictory attitude towards the science andtechnology;for one thing he continuously considered the questions of science,for another he belittled the value of science explorations;on the one hand he highly praised the great use of technology in daily life,on the other hand he took it into account that development of technology would make human being be enslaved by substance and the ecological balance destroyed.This concept of ZhungZi has a deep philosophy foundation,and it can be seen from its crux category,basic principles,methodology of knowledge and mode of thinking.
