On "Man-machine Symbiosis" In English Science Fiction Of The Twentieth Century

From the time that SF novels have begun, Robot and Artificial Intelligence are always the most favorite themes for SF authors. And in the science field, man-made machines are always a important part for scientists. Until the 20th century, technology makes SF novels become a true thing. The relationships between man and machine, also as the man-machine relationship, comes to the most ordinary theme. There are several presentation forms about man-machine relationship, but "Man-machine Symbiosis" has become the most important one.At first, this paper gives definitions of Robot and Artificial Intelligence and Cyborg, and makes out distinctions and connections of them. And then points out that "Man-machine Symbiosis" should be the most representative pattern.The development of "Man-machine Symbiosis" goes through three typical patterns. The first one is a compromise of subject and object, the second one is the conflict of subject and object, the last one is a mixture of subject and object. From the time that man produced machine, machine has always been a definite servant for people. And then, machines get wisdom, they come up to resist man, and at last, man and machine become together, evolve into a Cyborg. The "Man-machine Symbiosis" come true, and man and machine evolve to post-human.This paper references a lot opinions about Immanuel Kant and Hegel and Michel Foucault and Donna J. Haraway, and analysis the typical patterns of "Man-machine Symbiosis". This paper also explains the relationships between post-human and Feminist and Christianity. At last, this paper also explasins the puzzles about post-human identification.
