本文试图了解科技隐喻，特别是电脑隐喻，如何与道德教育相关。在讨论了各种类型的技术隐喻后，作者认为技术隐喻通过其“功能描述”进入道德思维。计算机的隐喻，然后探讨转向“黑客伦理”。对这种伦理的分析揭示了计算机编程的经验和那些沉浸在计算机技术中的人的道德标准之间的相似之处。这种相似性表明，黑客伦理正在被计算机隐喻及其功能描述推向个人主义和系统思维的方向。在分析了计算机隐喻的一些可能含义之后，本文提出了如何批评技术隐喻的建议。
This essay is an attempt to understand how technological metaphors, particularly computer metaphors, are relevant to moral education. After discussing various types of technological metaphors, it is argued that technological metaphors enter moral thought through their “functional descriptions.” The computer metaphor is then explored by turning to the “hacker ethic.” Analysis of this ethic reveals parallels between the experience of computer programming and the moral standards of those who are enmeshed in computer technology. This parallel suggests that the hacker ethic is being pushed by a computer metaphor and its functional descriptions in a direction of individualism and systems thinking. After examining some possible implications of the computer metaphor, this essay offers suggestions concerning how technological metaphors may be critiqued.
