现代技术愈是发展,技术之“思”就愈要面向活生生的自然。自然是一种内在性原则,自然状态下的生命展现为“生成”、“本性”及“存在”三重递进的内涵。技术的出现打开了自然生命的生成领域,基于分子生物学的基因工程技术进一步敞开自然生命的本性,而如今合成生物学的趋势则更是立足于存在重塑自然生命,技术由此展开对自然生命全面掠夺的进程。面对现代生物技术发展的蓬勃态势,我们必须存一份对生命的敬畏与深思,这是自然所给予的最为深刻的意义。
With the rapid development of modem technology, we need to pay more attention to living nature when we reflect on technology. Nature is a principle of immanence, under which natural life is composed of three progressive parts:"generation", "instinct" and "existence". Technology first opened the "generation" of natural life, then genetic engineering has uncovered its "instinct", and synthetic biology will finally force a radical reshaping on "existence" of natural life. Therefore, technology will begin the process of comprehensive exploitation on life. Faced with this situation, we must keep a reverence for life, which is the most profound significance nature gives us.
