Abstract

This essay aims to rectify a failure on the part of Western philosophers of technology to attend to the creative philosophical work of Li Bocong at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. After a brief account of Li Bocong's personal contacts with the West and some remarks on his relationship to Marxism, we take up three aspects of his philosophy that can contribute to enlarging Western philosophical thinking about engineering and technology: (1) Li's analysis of engineering as more than design, (2) his argument for the relevance of the sociology of engineering, and (3) his conceptualization of engineering ethics as more than professional ethics.

西方技术哲学家可以从李伯聪的工程哲学中学到什么？

本文旨在纠正西方技术哲学家对北京中国科学院大学李伯聪创造性哲学工作的忽视。在简要介绍了李伯聪个人与西方的接触以及他与马克思主义的关系之后，我们将从三个方面探讨他的哲学思想，这些哲学思想有助于扩大西方对工程与技术的哲学思考：(1) 李伯聪对工程不仅仅是设计的分析，(2) 他对工程社会学相关性的论证，以及 (3) 他对工程伦理不仅仅是职业伦理的概念化。

期刊介绍： Science and Engineering Ethics is an international multidisciplinary journal dedicated to exploring ethical issues associated with science and engineering, covering professional education, research and practice as well as the effects of technological innovations and research findings on society. While the focus of this journal is on science and engineering, contributions from a broad range of disciplines, including social sciences and humanities, are welcomed. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, ethics of new and emerging technologies, research ethics, computer ethics, energy ethics, animals and human subjects ethics, ethics education in science and engineering, ethics in design, biomedical ethics, values in technology and innovation. We welcome contributions that deal with these issues from an international perspective, particularly from countries that are underrepresented in these discussions.
