Our time is called "the era of big data",in which the University of Oxford professor Viktor Mayer-Schonberger is regarded as a spokesperson.The best-selling book "the era of big data" authored by Victor Maier and Kenneth Cukier is not only the era of big data declaration,but also a foundational work of big-data philosophy.In "the era of big data" this best-selling book,Schonberger initially describes the basic content of big data of philosophy with a understandable approach.He constructed the basic framework of big data philosophy through the book while systematically putting forward the three revolutions of modes of thinking caused by big-data mindset.He also discussed the data resource value and the value changes led by it,as well as the ethical crisis and its governance in the era of big data.In terms of scientific philosophy,the paper evacuates and summarizes the big data works of Schonberger in depth,especially the book "big data era".Schonberger's philosophical thoughts are roundly summarized from three aspects,including epistemology,values and ethics.Schonberger believes that big data will lead to major changes in the way of thinking which can be attributes to three reforms described as "more" and "more complex","better".The so-called “more” is big data which brings about massive data size,we no longer need small data sampling method,more using the whole data model "with" data model "of the overall thinking and methods instead of sampling this reductionist thinking and methods;the so-called" more complex "is to pay more attention to the diversity of data,data format,the source of any form,are no longer the pursuit of pure,single all-embracing,data form;the so-called" better "is to pay more attention to big data correlation,No longer confined to causality,thus opening the door wide thinking.Schonberger believes that the era of big data has brought to re-examine the value of the data,the data will become the land,energy,property,new resources technology and other traditional resources,we change the value and form of will have the fundamental economic,innovation of management.The more urgent is that big data will bring a license and inform,anonymous,fuzzy and other traditional means of privacy protection of all failure,the era of big data may be a transparent era without privacy,so the traditional ethics will have a significant Schonberger crisis.The author not only discusses the causes and forms of the ethical crisis caused by the big data,but also discusses the coping strategies.Schonberger's philosophy of big data is the new development of philosophy of Science in the era of big data,but also has important significance to the healthy development of big data technology.On the basis of Schonberger "s philosophy of big data,this paper makes a more in-depth scientific and technological philosophical thinking on the scientific phenomena,scientific theories,scientific methods and the status of human beings in the era of big data.
