تكنولوژي: عقلانيت و نقدپذيري در برابر رويكرد موجه گرايانه

Technology: Rationality and Criticizability vs justificationism

هر رويكرد فلسفي و عقلاني مناسب به تكنولوژي بايد بتواند موضع خود را نسبت به حد و حدود نقدپذيري روشن كند. به رغم اينكه حفظ آموزه نقدپذيري به نظر ساده مي آيد، بسياري از نظام هاي فلسفي با اتخاذ رويكردهاي موجه گرا يا ذات گرا در معرفت شناسي، زمينه فلسفي لازم براي نقدپذيري تمام عيار را از ميان مي برند. مقاله توضيح خواهد داد كه حفظ آموزه نقدپذيري تمام عيار با اتخاذ يك معرفت شناسي غير موجه گرا و تفكيك قضايا از معيارها ميسر است و عدم رعايت اين آموزه ها به نتايج نامطلوبي مي انجامد.

Any adequate philosophy of technology needs to take a clear stance with regard to the limits of criticizability. While observing the canons of criticizability may appear to be simple, many philosophical approaches (whether towards technology or other topics) abandon comprehensive criticizability by adopting some forms of justificationist or essentialist epistemology. This paper aims to show that criticizability can only be upheld by subscribing to a non-justificationist epistemology and by acknowledging the propositions/standards dichotomy; failing to do so leads to undesirable epistemic consequences.Any adequate philosophy of technology needs to take a clear stance with regard to the limits of criticizability.
