On The Being Of Technical Artifact

In today's technology era,technical artifacts are everywhere in human life.As the fruits of technology,technical artifacts satisfy and enrich human real life.In the context of this highly developed technology,human perception of natural objects and technical artifacts in the real world has gradually blurred,but the philosophical discussion of technology is more concerned with the discussion of the value of technology to humans,and the lack of technology Research and discussion on the "inward-looking" artifacts.Since the metaphysics that Aristotle distinguished between manufactured objects and natural objects did not regard technical artifacts as the subject of philosophical research,most traditional metaphysical philosophers questioned the advancement of technology and placed technology below science.The neglect of technical artifacts and some metaphysical problems faced by technical artifacts have led to the failure of technical artifacts to establish a position similar to natural objects in metaphysics.Natural objects being,which is rarely questioned by metaphysics and ontology,but for technical artifacts,metaphysicists often deny the meaning of their being.It is because they failed to solve the dilemmas and difficulties they face.This article first defines the concept of technical artifacts and examines the philosopher's objection to the being of technical artifacts in metaphysics.It explains that the necessity of solving this problem is of great significance to both technical philosophy and metaphysics.The defense of the being of technical artifacts is to start from the point of view of opposition and doubt,analyze the position of technical artifacts in metaphysics and the problems they face,and then compare with the existence of natural objects and compare the difference between technical artifacts and natural objects.At the same time,it is concluded that the defense of the existence of technical artifacts should be started from three aspects: the analysis of the reality of technical artifacts,the answer to the problem of the identity of technical artifacts and the solution of the problem of the intention dependence of technical artifacts.The first is to analyze the reality of technical artifacts.Starting from the system model of technical artifacts,the reality of technical artifacts is the unification of factor reality,functional reality and structural reality.The reality analysis of technical artifacts needs further solutions.The problem of the identity of artifacts and the problem of intention dependence.The problem of the identity of technical artifacts is derived from the problem of the ship of Theseus,and is divided into two parts for discussion.The solution to the problem of identity borrows the composition concept of Lynne Rudder Baker,Jonathan · E.Jonathan Lowe's view of engineering rules and the three views of the identity standard proposed by Guolin Wu,find a solution to the problem of the transfer of the identity of technical artifacts and the principle of identity.The problem of intentional dependence of technical artifacts is also analyzed in two parts.The answer to the question of intentional dependence borrows the ideas copied by Crawford Elder and Amie L.Thomas.Thomasson's view on the formal standards of existence and Guolin Wu 's system model,and proposed that intentionality is a necessary and insufficient condition for technical artifacts and that intention as an integral part of technical artifacts does not affect its being.This article is talking about the difficulties faced by technical artifacts compared to the being of natural objects.The problems have led to doubts and denials of the being of technical artifacts,and we have analyzed it from three angles.Therefore,starting from the difficulties and dilemmas faced by technical artifacts,through the defense of the problems of technical artifacts,to promote the ontological research of technical artifacts,technical artifacts have the same metaphysical status as natural ones.
