Research Abstract

This research discusses sociological problems caused by the postmodern situations of advanced science and highest technology, so as to explore how the stunning advance of modern natural science is affecting the once-set ontological category of <human>, which has now quickly transgressed into <post-human> in the ongoing evolutionary spheres of our times: “robotization of man (=cyborg)” and “humanization of machine (=humanoid)”. One of the main challenges of today’s sociology is firstly to scrutinize the theoretical frameworks and paradigms on the social issues concerning the complex mechanism observed in the social relationship between the high-tech and cultural change.
