生命伦理学视域中的工具理性与价值理性

The Instrumental Rationality and Value Rationality Under the View of Bioethics

工具理性与价值理性是辩证统一的关系,机械论的片面性造成了工具理性与价值理性的分裂,使得人类面临更大的生存困境,工具理性彰显而价值理性衰落。工具理性与价值理性的融合是解决当前人类生存困境的重要途径,当代生物技术的快速发展及其医学应用使这种融合成为可能,生命伦理学的诞生与发展是二者融合的表现之一。坚持以价值理性规范工具理性、以工具理性支撑价值理性来进行生命伦理学研究,就要坚持在现代生物技术的具体应用中分析其应该遵循的规范和价值标准,用归纳出的生命伦理学的基本原则来引领现代生物技术的研究。以生命伦理学统一工具理性与价值理性的融合模式为其他学科领域内工具理性与价值理性的融合提供了可资借鉴的范式。

Instrumental rationality and value rationality are two parts of human rationality and the relation between them is dialectical. The relationship between them has long been abruption, which brings about many survival dilemmas. They two must be mixed together properly. The rapid development of modem technology in human society needs the reunification of instrumental rationality and value rationality. The birth of Biotic - ethic is the good reunification of both and will be a model of other subjects.
