| Description |
Machines, instruments and tools offer many benefits, but according to the classical Daoists—Laozi and Zhuangzi—they can also interfere with living a life in harmony with nature. Despite this, the Zhuangzi offers numerous stories of individuals who use technologies whilst exemplifying the virtues of a sage, although how this is achieved is not well understood. I examine two recent interpretations and argue that they are problematic on both philosophical and interpretative grounds. In their place I offer a new solution based on comparing Zhuangzi with recent studies of the effects of the internet on the way we think.
Stroji, instrumenti in orodja ponujajo številne prednosti, vendar po mnenju klasičnih daoistov, kot sta Laozi in Zhuangzi, vplivajo tudi na življenje, ki je v sožitju z naravo. Kljub temu Zhuangzi predstavi številne zgodbe posameznikov, ki uporabljajo tehnologije, hkrati pa ponazarjajo vrline modreca, čeprav ni povsem jasno, kako to dosežejo. V članku preučujem dve nedavni razlagi in trdim, da sta problematični tako s filozofskega kot interpretacijskega vidika. Namesto njiju ponudim novo rešitev, ki temelji na primerjavi Zhuangzija z nedavnimi študijami o učinkih svetovnega spleta na način našega razmišljanja. |
