人们认为跨文化的哲学对话能够促进国家间的交流,因为哲学对话能够帮助我们理解不同文化间的差异。对此作者并不完全认同。他认为,“文化差异”这个观念将很快过时。在他看来,哲学应该被看作是一种本质上反应的而不是自主的学科。文章对海德格尔式的关于技术和现代性关系的解释提出批评,并给出一种杜威式的解释。 Intercultural philosophical dialogue is believed to promote exchanges between nations because philosophical dialogue helps us to understand the differences between different cultures. The author does not fully agree with this. In his view, the notion of “cultural differences” will soon become obsolete. In his view, philosophy should be seen as an essentially reactive rather than an autonomous discipline. The article criticizes Heidegger’s explanation of the relationship between technology and modernity and gives a Dewey’s explanation.
