On The Historical Development And Cultural Consideration Of Man-machine Relationship

From the beginning of the first Industrial Revolution, the issue of Man-machine Relationship had been referred to our research agenda. Since the 20th century, technologies of computer, information control, virtual network, and so on, have developped rapidly, the studies of surgery, bioscience, artificial intelligence and other disciplines, also have continued to gain new harvest. The speed that science and technology were applied to real life have accelerated constantly, which leads to the result of a closer relationship of machine ane human. Man-machine Relationship will be one of important philosophical subjects.The study of history of science and technology indicates that development of science and technology is synchronous with the evolution of machine. Machine is technological production that is applied to real life. Evolution of machine embodies a growing process of Machinery Civilization. From the angle of philosophy, Machinery Civilization reveals the powerful vitality of Mechanicalism that is developing along with the development of history. Man-machine Relationship is close contact with the growth of Machinery Civilization, in the different history background, Man-machine Relationship shows the different content. It is feasible that investigating the historical development of Man-machine Relationship from the three phases of pre-industry, industry and post-industry.Machine is the materialized technology, it is the agency in man-technology-world relationships. So, it will influence the man-world relationship and man himself. In fact, along the enlargement of machinery force, it is reasonable that abstracting a machinery world from human society. In machinery world, to make an analogy to human cultural concept, there are some rules of machine working that resembles the cultural structure. Whether people like or not, the rules of machinery world will force to people. In modern times, human life is in the state of machinery'cultural colonization'. So, people must keep a kind of critical spirit of culture, and not get into the world becoming more and more mechanization.Looking forward, cyborg and intelligent robot will be the topics of human-machine relationship. It is necessary of structuring Robot laws and robot ethic from the angle of culture.
