图书描述

Computers have dramatically altered life in the late twentieth century. Today we can draw on worldwide computer links, speeding up communications by radio, newspapers, and television. Ideas fly back and forth and circle the globe at the speed of electricity. And just around the corner lurks full-blown virtual reality, in which we will be able to immerse ourselves in a computer simulation not only of the actual physical world, but of any imagined world. As we begin to move in and out of a computer-generated world, Michael Heim asks, how will the way we perceive our world change? In The Metaphysics of Virtual Reality, Heim considers this and other philosophical issues of the Information Age. With an eye for the dark as well as the bright side of computer technology, he explores the logical and historical origins of our computer-generated world and speculates about the future direction of our computerized lives. He discusses such topics as the effect of word-processing on the English language (while word-processors have led to increased productivity, they have also led to physical hazards such as repetitive motion syndrome, which causes inflamed hand and arm tendons). Heim looks into the new kind of literacy promised by Hypertext (technology which allows the user to link audio and video elements, the disadvantages including disorientation and cognitive overload). And he also probes the notion of virtual reality, "cyberspace"--the computer-simulated environments that have captured the popular imagination and may ultimately change the way we define reality itself. Just as the definition of interface itself has evolved from the actual adaptor plug used to connect electronic circuits into human entry into a self-contained cyberspace, so too will the notion of reality change with the current technological drive. Like the introduction of the automobile, the advent of virtual reality will change the whole context in which our knowledge and awareness of life are rooted. And along the way, Heim covers such intriguing topics as how computers have altered our thought habits, how we will be able to distinguish virtual from real reality, and the appearance of virtual reality in popular culture (as in Star Trek's holodeck, William Gibson's Neuromancer, and Stephen King's Lawnmower Man). Vividly and entertainingly written, The Metaphysics of Virtual Reality opens a window on a fascinating world that promises--or threatens--to become an integral part of everyday life in the 21st century. As Heim writes, not only do we face a breakthrough in the technology of computer interface, but we face the challenge of knowing ourselves and determining how the technology should develop and ultimately affect the society in which it grows.

我英语阅读现今的巅峰。两天看完,还写了一篇1000多字的读后感。所以,写作还是要靠练的。反正两天看完了。形而上学和存在论。什么样才算是现实。用新柏拉图理论,来解释网络世界和现实的 “二元论”。书还是不错的,里面句子还很经典。比如:“The question is whether thinking, too, will end in the business if information processing." 但是如果不是写论文要读,我打死也不会看的。

虽然顶了那么多头衔,作者笔下关于虚拟实在的讨论,描述性的文字多过于分析和诠释,而且有很多是关于哲学上“reality”的讨论,尤其是自笛卡尔到海德格尔思想在信息时代的延伸,若缺乏哲学基础的话,读起来可能会有点吃力的>_<

我们是否已陷入到一种被预设好的逻辑之中?也即是说,让我们一直引以为豪的逻辑也遭到了“劫持”?现在看来,这个忧虑并非多此一举。我们知道,计算机电子学中存在着一个叫"Boolean Logic“的术语。文氏图和集合概念其实无益于理解“布尔逻辑”的文化符号学意义,或者说,...
