现代社会是一个风险社会,其中危害最大、威胁最广泛的风险是由人类自己创造发明的技术带来的技术风险。因此,探讨和研究技术风险及其制造者的伦理责任具有重要的现实意义和理论价值。本文从工程师、现代技术和技术风险三者之间的逻辑关系中推理、论证了工程师是技术风险的制造者。由于人类的技术性生存方式不但需要源源不断的新技术,而且还要依赖现存的技术。为了防范这些技术带来的风险,需要对其进行伦理规约。所以,工程师作为技术风险制造者只有承担“不制造致毁性风险的新技术”和“减轻现存技术风险”这二种伦理责任,才能减少技术风险给人类和社会造成的损害,降低、防范甚至化解技术风险的发生。
Modern society is a risk society. Among them, the most harmful and the most threatening are the technical risks brought by the invention of human beings themselves. Therefore, it is of great practical significance and theoretical value to discuss and study the technical risks and the ethical responsibilities of their manufacturers. This paper reasoned from the logical relationship between engineers, modern technology and technological risk, and demonstrated that engineers are the makers of technical risks. Because of the way of humanity’s technical survival not only requires a steady flow of new technology, but also rely on existing technology. To guard against the risks posed by these technologies, ethics protocols need to be put in place. Therefore, engineers, as technical risk makers, can only reduce the human and social damage caused by technological risks if they only undertake the two ethical responsibilities of “creating new technologies that do not cause devastating risks” and “mitigating existing technological risks” Reduce, prevent or even eliminate the occurrence of technical risks.
