On the Foundations and Rationale for Advancing Modern Technology
Technology,originating from human labor,communication,and the necessities of life,was initially con-ceived for humanity's ultimate purpose-to enable individuals to fulfill their potential and achieve self-realiza-tion in the metaphysical sense,embodying a comprehensive good life in practical philosophy.In the context of modernity,technology appears to possess an ontological nature,reinforced by its remarkable ability to both de-construct and synthesize.This prompts the question of whether technology is a myth or a tragedy,presented with a blend of joy and sorrow.When the illusion of technological omnipotence completely dominates human consciousness and will,the tumultuous advancement of technology driven by desire often leads people to over-look its inherent dangers and risks.Investigating and pursuing the foundation and rationale of modern technol-ogy involves a process of reasoned reflection and critical assessment of its dualistic value.These foundations and reasons do not originate within technology itself;rather,they are rooted in humanity-the thinking sub-jects comprising the thoughts,intentions,and actions of technology's creators,regulators,and users,along-side their external manifestations.Foundations require clarification rather than defense,reflecting inherent clarity,while reasons necessitate defense and validation,reflecting rationality.Although the essence,exist-ence,and ideal state of technology emerge through its creation and application processes,they are ultimately shaped by the intentions and actions of human agents.Responsibility for contemplating the foundation and rati-onale of technology is distributed among its three primary subjects-creators,regulators,and users.Only by harmoniously integrating self-regulation based on benevolent intent with external oversight rooted in conscien-tious scrutiny can technology authentically serve as a means to achieve the ultimate good.
