工程实践中的伦理困境及其解决途径

Ethical Dilemmas and Their Solutions in Engineering Practice

伦理困境在工程实践中频繁出现,是工程伦理学研究的难点。工程实践的复杂性是造成伦理困境的根本原因。进一步分析可以发现,伦理原则的多元性及底线伦理观的不足都是导致伦理困境的原因所在。因此,要想有效地解决工程实践中的伦理困境,就要从认识论的角度充分认识到工程实践的复杂性,从方法论的角度合理使用伦理原则,从价值论的角度以美德伦理给现代工程更高的价值指引。

Ethical dilemmas, which axe difficult for the research of engineering ethics, axe frequently confront-ed in engineering practices. The fundamental cause is the complexity of engineering practices; the diversity ofethical principles and the inadequacy of minimal ethics axe also the source of the dilemmas. Therefore, in orderto resolve the dilemmas effectively, we should fully recognize the complexity of engineering practices fromthe view of epistemology, reasonably use ethical principles from the view of methodology, and embed highervalue in modem engineering by virtue ethics from the view of axiology.
