The Goodness of Metaphysics and the Goodness of Practice——The Historical Dimension of Technology and ContemPorary Reflection
In ancient Greece,production activities were not regarded as practice because they were subject to the principle of necessity.However,with the secularization of philosophy and the development of natural sci-ence,production activities based on science and technology were unprecedentedly affirmed.The narrow ethical practice in the classical period evolved into the narrow technical practice in modern times.The abstract method of technological practice replaces formal logic and forms a fixed model for understanding social life.The culti-vation of this"objective personality"makes people and all social life show qualitative and unitary development under the monopoly of technological rationality,and the confused subject falls into the pursuit of metaphysical goodness for the purpose of means.Therefore,we should restore the practical life significance of existence,grasp the value of existence and the overall order of existence through communication ethics,and explore the practical goodness of existence as practical life.
