社会-技术系统框架下的技术伦理学——论罗波尔的功利主义技术伦理观

Based on the “System Theory of Technology” and from the level of Action Theory, G. Ropohl points out the limit of Individual Ethics of Responsibility during the analysis of the procedure and sociality. He proposed to substitute individual responsibility with institution responsibility. This proposal opens a new prospect for the construction of Ethics of Technology. He tries to overcome controversy on Value Pluralism, put forward ethical criterions for technology decision to substitute “increasing good” with “avoiding evil”. In spite of certain merits, his negative utilitarian can not resolve fundamentally the value conflicts because of the ambiguity of technical consequences, the dissent and priorities of people’s feelings for the “evil”.
