- 提出以跨学科视角开展计算批判教育,重塑数字素养。
- 强调算法系统渗透日常,带来认知层面的深层挑战。
- 适合关注算法伦理、数字教育与跨学科研究的读者。
若公民日益需具备计算素养,以算法的他律取代理性的自主,则我们应开启一种新型数字教化(digital Bildung),教授批判计算的原则。由于市民社会本身受制于计算系统与媒介,公共理性必须辅以协商和运用这些计算形式的能力,以实现批判性表达。不仅需提升对计算及其软化过程的认知层次,更需应对当前计算体系倾向功利主义辩护而非智识关怀所带来的潜在认识论挑战。因此,必须整合哲学、政治学、历史学、人类学、社会学、媒体研究、计算机科学及人文学科的方法与概念,深入理解软件与数据如何渗入日常生活,以及由此产生的压力与裂痕。我们必须推进一项批判性跨学科研究计划,以把握这些系统在具体与普遍语境中的生成、实现与规范塑造机制。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
If an active citizen should increasingly be a computationally enlightened one, replacing the autonomy of reason with the heteronomy of algorithms, then I argue in this article that we must begin teaching the principles of critiquing the computal through new notions of what we might call digital Bildung. Indeed, if civil society itself is mediated by computational systems and media, the public use of reason must also be complemented by skills for negotiating and using these computal forms to articulate such critique. Not only is there a need to raise the intellectual tone regarding computation and its related softwarization processes, but there is an urgent need to attend to the likely epistemic challenges from computation which, as presently constituted, tends towards justification through a philosophy of utility rather than through a philosophy of care for the territory of the intellect. We therefore need to develop an approach to this field that uses concepts and methods drawn from philosophy, politics, history, anthropology, sociology, media studies, computer science, and the humanities more generally, to try to understand these issues - particularly the way in which software and data increasingly penetrate our everyday life and the pressures and fissures that are created. We must, in other words, move to undertake a critical interdisciplinary research program to understand the way in which these systems are created, instantiated, and normatively engendered in both specific and general contexts.
