The Dilemma and Solution of Evidence-based Method in Technical Ethics Research:Taking the Use of Clinical Evidence in Ethical Research of Deep Brain Stimulation Technology as an Example
Evidence-based methods,as a classic method in natural sciences,are increasingly being applied in today's research on technological ethics.Scientific evidence,such as experimental and clinical evidence,has become an important argument and theoretical anchor for technology ethics research.The evidence can to some extent help researchers to strip away habitual thinking,bias,and error,but its use in ethics also poses problems.The scientific evidence standard ignores subjectivity,and ignores the differences between scientific evidence and ethical research in terms of research questions and value orientations.Meanwhile,scientific evidence is difficult to interpret,and scientific concepts cannot fully replace ethical concepts.Therefore,the use of ev-idence-based methods in technical ethics research is still controversial.In response to the above issues,an attempt is made to reconstruct the usage path of evidence-based methods in technological ethics research,in order to enhance the applicability and vitality of evidence-based methods in technologi-cal ethics,and promote the positive development of ethics.
