工程伦理视角下的工业遗产保护

Industrial Heritage Protection from the Perspective of Engineering Ethics

工业遗产保护是工程活动中对人工环境履行伦理责任的一种体现,与从当代人与后代人利益关系的角度来思考工程中的自然环境保护不同,工业遗产保护是从当代人与前代人的利益关系中展开的对工程中人工环境伦理责任的关注,这种关注来源于人类的继承习俗,继承伦理是这种继承习俗的道德表达。工业遗产保护是工程活动中继承伦理的表现形式,它以尊重即对前人劳动及劳动成果的尊重为基本准则,以制度伦理为实现途径。工业遗产的保护是继承伦理在工程活动中的重要体现,是工程伦理的新维度。

Industrial heritage protection reflects the ethical responsibility for the artificial environment in engineering activities.Different from natural environment protection which focuses on the interest relationship between contemporary people and the future generations,industrial heritage protection pays more attention to the ethical responsibility for the artificial environment,which places more emphasis on the interest relationship between contemporary and previous generations.This attention originates from the custom of inheritance and inheritance ethics is a type of moral expression for such a custom.As a pattern to manifest inheritance ethics in engineering activities,industrial heritage protection serves as a basic principle for respecting the labor and work of previous generations,which attains its objectives via institutional ethics. As a new dimension of engineering ethics, industrial heritage protection becomes an important embodiment of inheritance ethics in engineering activities.
