The Research On The Impact Of Science And Technology On Morality

Today we live in this era of science and technology to flourish. The relationship between science and technology and morality are currently a hot spot in both the study of philosophy and public life. Science and technology is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it is great to meet people’s material needs, on the other hand, it also gives all areas of social life, especially the field of moral thought, a great impact. The rapid development of science and technology has triggered bitter conflicts with general morality for its wide use. For example, today’s development of widespread application of biotechnology, particularly genetic engineering technology,has brought the community a certain degree of moral panic. In this dilemma, we need to seriously examine the relationship between contemporary science and technology and ethics, analyze the double impact of science and technology and morality, explore factors affecting the coordinated development of them, and find the right development path. The thesisbases on this background mainly revolves around the following points:First, from the analysis of the dialectical relationship between science and technology and ethics, it elaborates the concepts of science and technology and ethics articles involved. At the same time, the author points out that the relationship between science and technology and ethics is dialectical unity relationwhich contains mutual penetration is not only interrelated, but also different from each other and conflicting.Secondly, the thesis gives a detailed analysis of the impact of science and technology to morality. Science and Technology can have both positive and negative impact on ethics. Science and technology development activates moral progress, but also triggered conflicts between man and nature, man and society and people’s relationship, resulting in the problem of moral decline. However, development of rapid technological development differ from the relative stability of moral development, the scientific spirit and humanistic spirit depart,sometechnology practitioners of sciencelack of responsibility, and technology activities of moral evaluation mechanism is not improving, all above reasons lead to imbalance between science and technology development and moral development.Finally, in view of the relationship between science and technology and ethics and its influence on the moral, the thesis proposes the pathsof coordinated development between science and technology and ethics from multiple angles. For example: the ethical principles of science and technology activities include the principle of people-oriented principle, the principle of comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development; on this basis, constantly update science and technology, and culture, global view of the interests of science and technology as well as increase the intensity of moral education; strengthen the social responsibility of scientists and scientific responsibility. In addition, we also need to strengthen the science and technology legislation and improve the ethics system securityso that scientice and technologyand moral can develop synchronously and ultimately to achieve the harmonious development of science and morality.
