许多研究用户-技术关系的学者从不同的角度表明，这种关系是相互建构的：用户塑造技术，技术塑造用户。这种意识引发了关于设计师在社会运作中所扮演角色的问题。设计师对他们产品的社会作用负责吗？设计师能促进用户和整个社会的福祉吗？这些问题在设计教育中仍然很大程度上缺乏。在本文中，我们认为，在设计教育中整合技术哲学和相关领域的科学和技术研究（STS）的概念的重要性和好处。我们将讨论一种综合方法的三重好处，这种方法借鉴了传统的设计教育（通常侧重于个人用户和对象）和技术的理论方法（通常侧重于技术如何标记和改变我们的生活方式）。首先，这样一种综合的方法可以更深入地了解设计的社会意义。其次，它可以更好地理解设计理论和实践本身。第三，它为发展促进人类福祉的新设计视角提供了基础。为了说明，我们将介绍“开放脚本设计”的概念，作为一个新的设计视角，是在Capita Selecta设计课程的基础上，从技术哲学和STS的见解。
Many scholars who study user-technology relations have shown from different perspectives that such relations are mutually constructive: users shape technology, and technology shapes users. This awareness raises questions about the part a designer plays in the workings of society. Are designers responsible for the social role of their products? Can designers promote the well-being of users and society at large? These questions are still largely absent in design education. In this paper we argue the importance and benefit of integrating concepts from Philosophy of Technology and the related field of Science and Technology Studies (STS) in design education. We will discuss a threefold benefit of a combined approach that draws on both traditional design education (generally focused on individual users and objects) and theoretical approaches to technology (generally focused on how technology marks and transforms the way we live our lives). In the first place such an integrated approach enables a deeper insight in the social significance of design. Secondly, it allows for a better understanding of design theory and practice itself. Thirdly, it provides a basis for the development of new design perspectives that promote human well-being. To illustrate we will introduce the notion of ‘open script design’ as a new design perspective that was developed in a Capita Selecta design course based on insights from philosophy of technology and STS.
