【摘要】：工程深刻影响和改变着人类社会的进程,这使得工程师承担责任成为必然之举。米切姆定义"责任是知识和力量的函数",但随着巨型工程的日益增多,工程技术的日渐复杂,作为人类进步主要力量的"负责任的工程师"是否应当承担扩大化的责任值得商榷。本文认为该定义包含三层意思:一是工程知识的结构分类极大提升工程师辨识责任的能力;二是工程师力量的复杂多变警醒工程师审慎对待责任;三是知识与力量的不同组合共同助推工程师在合理限度内履责。只有通过辨析米切姆"责任"内涵,充分认识到工程师在知识局限和力量有限上的困境,才能理解其只应当"力所能及"地"当责",方能期待工程师的道德自觉和伦理自省得以彰显,从而"把好的工程做好"。
[Abstract]:Engineering deeply influences and changes the process of human society, which makes it necessary for engineers to take responsibility. Michum defines responsibility as a function of knowledge and power, but with the increasing of mega-projects, engineering technology becomes more and more complex. Whether the "responsible engineer", as the main force of human progress, should take on the responsibility of expansion is debatable. This paper holds that the definition contains three meanings: first, the structural classification of engineering knowledge greatly enhances the engineer's ability to identify responsibility; The second is the complexity and variety of engineers' power to alert engineers to their responsibilities, and the third is that different combinations of knowledge and power jointly promote engineers to perform their duties within reasonable limits. Only by discriminating the connotation of Michelem's "responsibility", Only by fully recognizing the plight of engineers on limited knowledge and limited strength, can they be understood that they should only "do what they can" and "be responsible", so that engineers' moral consciousness and ethical introspection can be expected to manifest, thus "doing a good project well".
