An Ethical Literary Criticism on Asimov’s I, Robot_英语论文

摘要

《我，机器人》是著名美籍犹太裔作家艾萨克· 阿西莫夫的科幻作品，小说包含9个独立的故事，探讨了人类与机器人之间的伦理与道德问题。本文以文学伦理学批评为主要研究方法，分析了小说中的伦理环境、机器人的伦理身份和伦理选择以及科技伦理的产生、科技伦理的内涵、科技与伦理的关系等问题。同时，论文探讨了如何实现人机共存的社会以及人类如何重新审视人类中心主义、如何给予机器人合理身份等问题。论文以作品中机器人在人类社会的身份诉求为出发点，对阿西莫夫提出的“机器人三定律”提出质疑, 为审视现实科技，未来科技发展走向提供一些启示。
