此篇論文旨在運用海德格爾與列維納斯對於科技與倫理所提出的哲學來閱讀唐．德里羅的《夢遊大都會》。科技一直都在不同的面向中影響著人類的生活。從古代的文明到現今的社會，人類與科技的關係有了巨大的轉變。隨著現代科技的進化，隨之衍生出的新倫理問題也接踵而出。當科技的快速進步已來到了足以毀滅人類文明的階段時，其所產生的倫理面向便成了一道不得不思索的難題。著名的德國哲學家馬丁·海德格爾曾就科技與人類的關係提出一連串形上學的質疑。他所提出的「座架」（Ge-stell）概念將人類與科技的互動帶入了一個新的哲學紀元。海德格爾認為，現代科技所展演的單向性使人類被迫生存在一個可能性有限的架構中。一旦人類過度依賴以科技為導向的身分認同，我們將失去與科技的自由關係。唐．德里羅在他的小說《夢遊大都會》中也表達了與海德格爾類似的憂慮。小說中男主角的死亡可以被解讀為德里羅對高度科技化的資本主義社會所表達的不安與恐懼。儘管多數評論家認為《夢遊大都會》只是德里羅眾多批判資本主義的作品之一，筆者卻希望通過此一論文強調此小說中「科技」作為資本問題之核心的閱讀面向。以海德格爾來閱讀德里羅能將此一小說中科技的本質與其所產生的現代倫理難題做一番徹底的檢視。不少評論家都認為海德格爾就科技所提出的哲學與德里羅的作品皆反映出一股虛無的氣息。然而，筆者想藉著導入法國哲學家列維納斯的他者倫理作為此種虛無氛圍下的救贖。論文將會以列維納斯的思想做為海德格爾論據不足的強化，並將此一論述帶入《夢遊大都會》的深層閱讀當中。

This thesis aims to explore Heidegger’s and Levinas’s philosophies of the technological and ethical in Don DeLillo’s Cosmopolis. Technology has great influence on human lives in many different ways. From the ancient time to the modern era, our relationship with technology has dramatically changed. Modern technology introduces new ethical problems in human societies. While humans in the ancient time concerned most about the efficiency of technology, we worry about technology’s ability to cause civilizational destruction in the modern era. Martin Heidegger expresses his concern about modern technology by introducing the concept of Ge-stell (Enframing). Heidegger believes that human beings are growing too much dependency on technology, and such ill reliance will eventually disable us from getting a free relationship with our own creations. In a similar manner, Don DeLillo also worries about and predicts a technological-economical enframed world in his thirteenth novel Cosmopolis (2003). The protagonist Eric Packer’s death can be regarded as DeLillo’s reflection on the danger of digital capitalism. Through a Heideggerian reading, I will explain why modern technology is the central problem embedded in the world of Cosmopolis. Both DeLillo and Heidegger’s critics have more than once expressed their concern about the nihilistic tone emanating through their works. However, I will argue for a power of salvation by reconciling Emmanuel Levinas’s ethics with a Heideggerian reading on Cosmopolis. This thesis will explain why a combination of both thinkers is an essential reading to rethink the ethical relationships we shared with modern technology.
