冯内古特的科技伦理思想研究

A Study on the Ethical Thinking in Kurt Vonnegut’s Player Piano

冯内古特在多部小说中探讨科学发展和社会伦理之间的关系,揭示出缺乏伦理意识和制约、无限度发展的科学和技术不仅会导致严重的社会问题,还会给人类带来灭顶之灾。《自动钢琴》的故事警醒人类:科学必须在伦理的积极影响下,才能帮助人类社会走向健康、和谐的未来;如果人类任由科技无度、无序地发展,将自食物极必反的恶果。

In many of his novels, Kurt Vonnegut has explored the link between scientific development and social ethnics, revealing that without necessary ethical awareness and restriction, unlimitedly developed science and technology will not only result in serious social problems, but also bring about great calamities to human beings. A lesson to be drawn from Player Piano is that only under the positive guidance of ethnics can science lead human society toward a sound and harmonious future;without enough human regulation, the unlimited development of science and technology will make yet another modern-day Frankenstein.
