Abstract This article investigates the relation between machine and ecology, and the philosophical and historical questions concealed in these two seemingly incompatible terms. The opposition between machine and organism was fundamental to philosophical projects since the eighteenth century. However, the emergence of cybernetics in the first half of the twentieth century proposed a unified logic which transcended the dualism between machine and organism, or technics and nature, and therefore also the opposition between machine and ecology. Cybernetics poses a limit to philosophy, which Heidegger called the end of philosophy, and also a challenge for thinking. If the promises of cybernetics are effective, does it suggest also that cybernetics is the way out of modernity? Or is it rather, as we want to suggest here, that after cybernetics it is no longer a dualism which is the source of danger in our epoch, but rather a non-dualistic totalizing power present in modern technology? If one cannot simply oppose machine and ecology, we demand a political ecology of machines, which will center on the concept of technodiversity, in the sense of a systematic approach for understanding the history and plurality of cosmotechnics and their diverging futures by revisiting the question of locality.

机械与生态

摘要 本文探讨了机器与生态的关系,以及隐藏在这两个看似不相容的术语中的哲学和历史问题。自 18 世纪以来,机器与有机体之间的对立是哲学项目的基础。然而,20世纪上半叶控制论的出现提出了一种统一的逻辑,超越了机器与有机体、技术与自然的二元论,从而也超越了机器与生态的对立。控制论对哲学提出了限制,海德格尔称之为哲学的终结,也是对思维的挑战。如果控制论的承诺是有效的,它是否也表明控制论是现代性的出路?或者更确切地说,正如我们想在这里建议的那样,在控制论之后,它不再是作为我们时代危险之源的二元论,而是现代技术中存在的非二元性总体力量?如果不能简单地反对机器和生态,我们需要一种机器的政治生态,它以技术多样性的概念为中心,在系统方法的意义上,通过重新审视宇宙技术的历史和多样性及其不同的未来地点。
