| Research Abstract |
We investigated the document material concerning the philosophy of technology, focusing on the problem of the function of technological artifacts. From the standpoint of its relation to the technological knowledge and the technological normativity, we compared the "dual aspect theory", the theory "things knowledge", and the contemporary theories of "biological function", and the results were announced by the research paper and oral. And we also investigated the normativity of artifacts and its relation to the social normativity and the engineering ethics. In workshops, especially on the theme of the nuclear accidents, we discussed experts of nuclear engineering, civil engineering, and teachers of technical college to the grasp of the actual situation.
