在人类改造自然的过程中,必然要牵涉到人与自然,人与社会之间的关系,用什么样的准则来指导人们的实践活动以及协调和处理上述关系,这就是工程伦理学所规范的内容。设计的核心是解决“人”的问题,当然这里的“人”不仅是指具体的某个人,而且涉及广泛的人群甚至是人类社会。从伦理学视角看,重视设计的社会性为伦理学的研究提供了坚实的概念基础,并对建设全面的、具有明确的职业意识和社会责任感的现代设计教育提出了新的要求。 In the process of mankind’s transformation of nature, it is bound to involve the relationship between man and nature, man and society, and what kind of norms should be used to guide people’s practical activities and to coordinate and handle the above-mentioned relations, which is regulated by engineering ethics content. The core of design is to solve the problem of “people”. Of course, “people” here refers not only to a specific individual but also to a wide range of people and even human beings. From the perspective of ethics, paying attention to the sociality of design provides a solid conceptual basis for the ethical research and puts forward new requirements for the construction of modern design education with a comprehensive sense of professional awareness and social responsibility.
