The Risk of Life "Objectification" in the Era of Digital Intelligence and Its Avoidance—The Educational Enlightenment of Zhuangzi's "Qi-Wu" Thought
Technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence have a profound impact on educational reform and individual life development.Along with them,the shielding of ontology by technological rationality leads to the intensification of life instrumentalization,objectification,mechanization,and materialization.The spiritual subject of human beings is dissolved,and the risk of life"objectification"is revealed.The root of"objectification"is the misplacement of the"thing me"relationship.Zhuangzi's idea of"Qi-Wu"reveals three levels of the relationship between"things and me":"not interacting with things","using things",and"integrating things and me".It inspires a return to the spiritual dimension of the"human technology relationship"and also metaphorically represents three paths for reconstructing the relationship between education and technology:conservatism,optimism,and transcendence.Based on this,the current digital transformation of education should adhere to the value orientation of nurturing life,the goal orientation of transcending life,the educational spirit of seeking truth and reality,and the educational thinking of deconstructionism.It should leverage the positive value of technology in supporting the growth of spiritual life,and use the educational wisdom of excellent traditional Chinese culture to avoid the risk of"objectification"of life in the digital age,so that the integration of education and technology can jointly"support"the comprehensive development of student life.
