摘　　要：伊安·巴伯认为技术乐观主义把技术看作解放者,未考虑环境代价和人类风险问题,而且导致政治与经济权力集中;技术悲观主义则把技术看作是对人类的威胁,是一种独立自主和不可控制的力量。巴伯提出关于技术的社会建构思想,认为技术是一种权力工具,支持语境论的技术观,即在科学、技术与社会之间存在复杂的相互作用,并坚信技术转向人类基本需求的可能性。Ian Barbour points out that the optimistic view of technology sees technology as the liberator without regarding the environmental costs and human risks of technology,and contributes to the concentration of economic and political power. Pessimism of technology sees technology as a threat to human life and an autonomous and uncontrollable force. Ian Barbour proposes an idea of social construction of technology. He thinks of technology as an instrument of power,and sustains that there are contextual interactions between science,technology and society. He argues that the redirection of technology toward basic human needs is possible.
