【摘要】 工程活动的蓬勃发展在促进社会经济快速增长的同时也带来了巨大的负面影响。从伦理角度对工程决策活动进行引导和规范,不仅可以有效防范和减弱工程活动的负面影响,也有利于工程活动正向功能的扩展和加强。因此,探讨工程决策的伦理规约的理论问题,分析工程决策的伦理规约面临的困境,探寻工程决策的伦理规约的实现途径既可以丰富工程伦理学的理论体系,也可以更好地指导现实的工程决策活动。通过绘制有关工程伦理和工程决策中伦理研究的知识图谱,揭示了工程伦理相关的代表人物和研究领域,形象地显示了工程伦理的前沿状况,展现了工程伦理研究的发展态势:工程决策中的伦理问题即将成为工程伦理领域新的学科生长点,目前对该问题的研究还停留在提出和概述层面,因而,有其研究的必然性和必要性。分析工程决策及伦理规约的内涵,阐释和探寻工程决策的伦理规约的概念、特征、依据、可能与结构,进而实现工程决策的伦理规约的理论建构是进行现实分析的理论前提和基础。工程决策的伦理价值负荷为工程决策的伦理规约提供了内在依据,工程决策所具有的社会性,则形成了其外部保障。工程伦理及工程决策中的伦理前沿及热点演进的分析为该研究指明了方向,工程决策实践对伦理规约的呼唤为工程决策的伦理规约提供了现实基础,相关学科的发展和已有规约思想的积淀使该研究有了理论可能。依据工程及工程决策活动内在的伦理诉求,可以从六个维度出发,制定相应的科学性、人本性、责任性、功利性、公正性、生态性原则来指导和规约现实的工程决策活动。对工程决策进行伦理规约既有必要性,也有可能性,但同时也面临着种种困境。其困境主要源于三个方面:工程技术自身风险给伦理规约带来的困境——“科林格里奇困境”;因工程决策主体道德素质、伦理意识的缺乏以及主体多元化所导致的主体伦理困境;因制度、程序伦理的缺失及其社会大环境的道德滑坡导致的外部伦理境域缺失困境。工程技术本身无法确定的风险性导致了“科林格里奇困境”的出现,而工程决策中自律以及他律机制的缺失是导致伦理规约陷入其他困境的最根本原因。尽管在工程决策的伦理规约中存在着种种困境,但并不意味着人在这些困境面前无能为力。在工程决策的伦理规约基本原则的指导下,对于来自工程自身不确定的风险性所导致的“科林格里奇困境”,在决策中可以通过预防原则的确立来消解;针对自律缺失所导致的主体伦理困境,可以通过构建旨在提高工程决策主体自律能力的道德调控机制来消解;工程决策制度伦理、程序伦理的实现以及相关调控机制的构建则可以有效地改善工程决策的外部伦理境域,从而实现对工程决策的伦理规约。

【Abstract】 The modern engineering activity greatly promoted the development of human society and economy, and at the same time, brought about a remarkable negative impact. A research on the process of engineering decision-making from the ethical perspective may not only efficiently prevent or weaken the negative impact, but also enlarge or strengthen the positive aspect. This research will examine the ethical theory on the engineering decision-making, analyze its ethical dilemma, and explore a feasible way for realizing the ethical stipulation on the engineering decision-making. Its outcome may enrich the theoretical system of engineering ethics and provide a better guidance to the actual engineering decision-making.Through picturing the map concerning the investigation in the engineering ethics and engineering decision-making, this research shows the representative academic figures, as well as the research area, related to engineering ethics, exhibits the cutting-edge achievement in the study of engineering ethics, and indicates the current development in this field. The ethical issue in the engineering decision-making is going to be a key topic to stimulate the engineering ethics as whole for its further development. The study has its inevitability and necessity.It is the theoretical condition for the ethical stipulation on the engineering decision-making to analyze the content of the engineering decision-making and its ethical stipulation, explore and elucidate the relevant conception, trait, ground, possibility and structure, and thereby complete the theoretical construction of the ethical stipulation on the engineering decision-making. The ethical value in the engineering decision-making itself provides the ethical stipulation on the engineering decision-making with an internal reason, while the social dimension of the engineering decision-making forms its external assurance. The request for the ethical stipulation from the practice of engineering decision-making itself is the foundation for the ethical stipulation. The analysis on the cutting-edge issues in the engineering ethics and in the engineering decision-making indicates the correct direction for the research on the stipulation. The development in the related fields and the accumulation of the given thoughts on the stipulation make it possible to start the present research. The ethical stipulation for the engineering decision-making is necessary, possible, and difficult. This difficulty mainly comes from the following three sources. The first, the "Collingridge dilemma" caused by the uncertainty of the project risk; the second, the difficulty to control the engineering agent caused by the short of the ethical consciousness of the subject and by the diversification and ambiguity of the ethical responsibilities; and the third, the difficulty from the external ethical context caused by the decline and degeneration of morality in the social environment.It is not impossible to deal with these difficulties. The difficulty from the uncertain risks can be reduced by establishing the precautionary principles in the engineering decision-making. The difficulty regarding the engineering agent can be reduced by constructing a moral mechanism aiming to improve the self-disciple of the agent. Finally, the difficulty regarding the external context can be reduced by promoting the institutional ethics of engineering decision-making and the ethics of procedures and constructing related control mechanism. All of the above measures will help to regulate engineering decision-making from ethical perspective.
