Throughout the history of human society,it is not difficult to find that every step of a major breakthrough in science and technology will cause profound changes and great progress in human society.Yet,technology is a double-edged sword which brings a lot of convenience to people's lives,but also leads a number of problems such as technology alienation,ecology destruction,environmental pollution,continuous social conflicts and endless wars.Facing with such a cruel reality,people realize that the social problems brought out by technology applications can not be solved only by technology means.Only if technology is set under the framework of technology philosophy,will people utilize technology more safely and effectively.The problems of technology will not be resolved blindly by techniques.Meanwhile,it has a close relationship with people's values.It is an inevitable trend for technology philosophy to integrate values into its research.Under the background of the “cultural turn” in philosophy of technology,Britain philosopher Arnold Pacey extends the concept of technology to three aspects,that is,technical aspect,cultural aspect and organizational aspect.It helps people to remove their narrow technical values.Arnold Pacey's values in the technology practice are characteristic of integrity,Systematicness and dialecticality.His values in the technology practice play an important role in controlling technology risk,setting technology rules and establishing evaluation system.Meanwhile,it provides a theoretical basis for risk analysis and evaluation system of modern technology.
