Design for Values (DfV) philosophies are a series of design approaches that aim to incorporate human values into the early phases of technological design to direct innovation into beneficial outcomes. The difficulty and necessity of directing advantageous futures for transformative technologies through the application and adoption of value-based design approaches are apparent. However, questions of whose values to design are of critical importance. DfV philosophies typically aim to enrol the stakeholders who may be affected by the emergence of such a technology. However, regardless of which design approach is adopted, all enrolled stakeholders are human ones who propose human values. Contemporary scholarship on metahumanisms, particularly those on posthumanism, have decentred the human from its traditionally privileged position among other forms of life. Arguments that the humanist position is not (and has never been) tenable are persuasive. As such, scholarship has begun to provide a more encompassing ontology for the investigation of nonhuman values. Given the potentially transformative nature of future technologies as relates to the earth and its many assemblages, it is clear that the value investigations of these design approaches fail to account for all relevant stakeholders (i.e., nonhuman animals). This paper has two primary objectives: (1) to argue for the cogency of a posthuman ethics in the design of technologies; and (2) to describe how existing DfV approaches can begin to envision principled and methodological ways of incorporating non-human values into design. To do this, the paper provides a rudimentary outline of what constitutes DfV approaches. It then takes up a unique design approach called Value Sensitive Design (VSD) as an illustrative example. Out of all the other DfV frameworks, VSD most clearly illustrates a principled approach to the integration of values in design.

设计的生态转向:采用后人文主义的伦理观念告知价值敏感的设计

价值设计(DfV)理念是一系列设计方法,旨在将人的价值观纳入技术设计的早期阶段,以将创新引导到有益的成果中。通过应用和采用基于价值的设计方法来指导变革性技术的有利未来的困难和必要性是显而易见的。但是,谁的问题设计的价值至关重要。DfV哲学通常旨在招募可能受此技术出现影响的利益相关者。但是,无论采用哪种设计方法,所有已注册的利益相关者都是提出人类价值观的人类利益相关者。当代关于超人类主义的学术,特别是关于后人类主义的学术,使人类脱离了其在其他生命形式中的传统特权地位。关于人本主义立场是(而且从来没有)站得住脚的争论很有说服力。因此,学术研究已经开始为非人类价值的研究提供更具包容性的本体论。鉴于与地球及其众多组成部分相关的未来技术具有潜在的变革性,显然,这些设计方法的价值调查未能考虑所有相关的利益相关者(即非人类动物)。本文有两个主要目标:(1)为后人类伦理学在技术设计上的权威性辩护;(2)描述现有的DfV方法如何开始设想将非人类价值纳入设计的原则和方法。为此,本文提供了DfV方法的基本构成。然后,它采用一种称为“值敏感设计”(VSD)的独特设计方法作为说明性示例。在所有其他DfV框架中,VSD最清楚地说明了在设计中整合价值的原则方法。(1)争辩说,人类后伦理学在技术设计方面具有权威性;(2)描述现有的DfV方法如何开始设想将非人类价值纳入设计的原则和方法。为此,本文提供了DfV方法的基本构成。然后,它采用一种称为“值敏感设计”(VSD)的独特设计方法作为说明性示例。在所有其他DfV框架中,VSD最清楚地说明了在设计中整合价值的原则方法。(1)争辩说,人类后伦理学在技术设计方面具有权威性;(2)描述现有的DfV方法如何开始设想将非人类价值纳入设计的原则和方法。为此,本文提供了DfV方法的基本构成。然后,它采用一种称为“值敏感设计”(VSD)的独特设计方法作为说明性示例。在所有其他DfV框架中,VSD最清楚地说明了在设计中整合价值的原则方法。然后,它采用一种称为“值敏感设计”(VSD)的独特设计方法作为说明性示例。在所有其他DfV框架中,VSD最清楚地说明了在设计中整合价值的原则方法。然后,它采用一种称为“值敏感设计”(VSD)的独特设计方法作为说明性示例。在所有其他DfV框架中,VSD最清楚地说明了在设计中整合价值的原则方法。
