2011年3月,日本发生了一场大地震。随之而来的海啸袭击了福岛第一核反应堆,后来被披露该反应堆实际上处于熔毁状态。尽管目前尚不清楚有多少人会受到放射性尘埃的心理和身体影响,但我们的生活在多大程度上受到科学技术难以想象的风险的影响已经变得显而易见。本文试图从工具理性、批判性思维、多元性以及公共领域在当代世界事务中的重要性等方面阐明科学技术的风险,并特别关注福岛事件。在此过程中,我将介绍阿伦特、海德格尔和霍克海默等思想家以及京都学派哲学家关于科学技术的论点。本文还关注道德问题,以解决缺乏批判性思维和公众消失的概念。
In March 2011, Japan suffered a massive earthquake. The resultant tsunami hit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor and it was later revealed that the reactor was actually in a state of meltdown. While it is still unclear how many people will be affected, both mentally and physically, by the radio-active fallout, the extent to which our lives are subject to the unimaginable risks of scientific technology has become patently clear. This paper strives to clarify the risks of scientific technology in relation to instrumental reason, critical thinking, plurality, and subsequently, the significance of the public realm in contemporary world affairs, with a specific focus on the Fukushima incident. In so doing, I shall introduce arguments regarding scientific technology by such thinkers as Arendt, Heidegger, and Horkheimer as well as the Kyoto School philosophers. This paper also focuses on the issue of morality in order to address the notion of the lack of critical thinking and the disappearance of the public.
