The Paradigm Enlightenment of the Traditional Chinese Craftsmanship Spirit for the Construction of Contemporary Scientific and Technological Ethics

中国传统工匠精神蕴含的“道器结合”思想,为当代科技伦理建设提供了丰富的文化资源。传统社会的“技以载道”强调技艺与道德的有机统一,而近代工业化进程导致了“道技分离”的技术异化现象,使得科技发展逐渐脱离伦理的约束。当代亟需新审视这一传统智慧的现代价值。传统工匠精神需要实现现代性转化,要将“器物制造”升华为“意义生产”,强调技术背后的人文意义;构建“具身认知”与“技术沉思”的认识论新框架,为人工智能等新兴技术领域的伦理治理提供哲学基础。具体而言,要建立“技术——伦理”协同治理的制度体系,实现技术与伦理的协调发展;将工匠精神融入STEM教育体系,培养具备伦理素养的科技人才;打造元宇宙时代的“新工匠文化”,为科技伦理建设注入新活力。通过对“道器结合”思想的历史嬗变及现代启示的探讨,为当代科技伦理建设提供有益的范式启示。The idea of “combination of Taoism and instrument” contained in the spirit of traditional Chinese craftsmen provides rich cultural resources for the construction of contemporary science and technology ethics.

Abstract

中国传统工匠精神蕴含的“道器结合”思想,为当代科技伦理建设提供了丰富的文化资源。传统社会的“技以载道”强调技艺与道德的有机统一,而近代工业化进程导致了“道技分离”的技术异化现象,使得科技发展逐渐脱离伦理的约束。当代亟需新审视这一传统智慧的现代价值。传统工匠精神需要实现现代性转化,要将“器物制造”升华为“意义生产”,强调技术背后的人文意义;构建“具身认知”与“技术沉思”的认识论新框架,为人工智能等新兴技术领域的伦理治理提供哲学基础。具体而言,要建立“技术——伦理”协同治理的制度体系,实现技术与伦理的协调发展;将工匠精神融入STEM教育体系,培养具备伦理素养的科技人才;打造元宇宙时代的“新工匠文化”,为科技伦理建设注入新活力。通过对“道器结合”思想的历史嬗变及现代启示的探讨,为当代科技伦理建设提供有益的范式启示。The idea of “combination of Taoism and instrument” contained in the spirit of traditional Chinese craftsmen provides rich cultural resources for the construction of contemporary science and technology ethics. The traditional society’s “technology carries the Tao” emphasizes the organic unity of skill and morality, while the process of modern industrialization has led to the technological alienation phenomenon of “separation of technology and technology”, which makes the development of science and technology gradually break away from the constraints of ethics. There is an urgent need to re-examine the modern value of this traditional wisdom. The spirit of traditional craftsmen needs to realize the transformation of modernity, and it is necessary to sublimate “utensil manufacturing” into “meaning production”, emphasizing the humanistic significance behind technology; construct a new epistemological framework of “embodied cognition” and “technological contemplation” to provide a philosophical basis for ethical governance in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. Specifically, it is necessary to establish an institutional system of “technology-ethics” collaborative governance to realize the coordinated development of technology and ethics. Integrate the spirit of craftsmanship into the STEM education system and cultivate scientific and technological talents with ethical literacy; create a “new craftsman culture” in the metaverse era and inject new vitality into the construction of scientific and technological ethics. Through the discussion of the historical transformation and modern enlightenment of the idea of “combination of Taoism and instrument”, this paper provides a useful paradigm enlightenment for the construction of contemporary science and technology ethics.
