Construction of a model for discursive ethics in techno-science

我们开创了以话语伦理为基础的科学传播新模式。为此，我们组织了几次讨论如何管理核废料的会议，并分析了讨论的进展情况。我们了解到以下几点：1.持反对意见的人不太可能通过讨论达成完全一致的意见。尽管如此，重要的是我们要继续对话，努力达成合理的协议。致力于不同立场的专家之间的对话可能是有价值的，特别是当普通公民观看对话并接受信息和教育以形成或修改他们的观点时。对话要想取得成果，参与者之间必须相互信任，而且除其他外，他们还必须具有一定的同理心。对话的主持人必须是公平的，但公平不同于仅仅形式上的中立。为了公平起见，一个人必须能够正确地做出各种价值判断。

We created a new model for science communication based on discursive ethics. For this purpose we organized a few occasions for the discussion of how to manage nuclear waste and analyzed the way the discussion went. We learnt the followings:1. It is unlikely that people with opposing views come to total agreement through discussion. Nonetheless, it is important for us to continue dialogue and try to reach a reasonable agreement.2. A dialogue between experts committed to different positions can be valuable especially when general citizens watch it and are informed and educated so as to form or revise their views.3. For a dialogue to be fruitful, there has to be mutual trust among participants, and they have to have certain empathic capacities among other things.4. A moderator of a dialogue has to be fair, but fairness is different from mere formal neutrality. To be fair one has to be able to make sorts of value judgments properly.
