Research on ethical, legal and social aspects (ELSA) of life sciences and new technologies has mainly been focused on impacts and consequences, while the emerging framework of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) focuses rather on increased involvement and reflexivity in research processes to foster science and technology that better answers the needs of society. I argue that philosophy of science should be a central feature of RRI and demonstrate how the philosophy of science can contribute in this sense. I show how investigating basic assumptions in research, here exemplified by reductive assumptions in causal modeling, can have important ethical and societal implications.
生命科学与新技术的伦理、法律和社会层面(ELSA)研究主要聚焦于影响和后果,而新兴的责任研究与创新(RRI)框架则更侧重于在研究过程中增加参与度和反思性,以促进能更好满足社会需求的科学技术发展。我认为科学哲学应成为RRI的核心特征,并论证科学哲学在这方面如何能做出贡献。我展示了探究研究中的基本假设(此处以因果建模中的还原假设为例)如何会产生重要的伦理和社会影响。
