ABSTRACT

Arguments in Science & Technology Studies for public participation in decision-making regarding science and technology and for responsible innovation have not adequately addressed the obstacles posed by the economic relations of the market. This paper argues that participation and responsibility are incompatible with the uncontrolled dynamics of the market and with what Gerald Doppelt calls the ‘Lockean code’ of private ownership of the means of production. Responsible innovation aims, in part, to facilitate the expression of what Anthony Giddens terms ‘life politics.’ Without challenging the mediation of the relationship between science, technology, and society by the market, arguments for participatory science and technology and responsible innovation remain within the political framework of Giddens’ Third Way. This paper makes the case for looking beyond Third Way politics toward socialist democratic planning as the future for participatory and responsible innovation.

摘要

在科学技术研究中，公众参与有关科学技术的决策以及负责任的创新的论点未能充分解决市场经济关系所带来的障碍。本文认为，参与和责任与市场不受控制的动态以及杰拉尔德·多贝特（Gerald Doppelt）所谓的生产资料私有制的“洛克式法”不相容。负责任的创新部分旨在促进表达安东尼·吉登斯所说的“生命政治”。在不挑战市场对科学，技术与社会之间的关系进行调解的情况下，有关参与式科学技术和负责任的创新的论点仍处于吉登斯第三条道路的政治框架之内。
