On the Ethical Factors of Design from Ancient Design Thought (I)

Abstract: Today the whole society has entered an era of highly advanced material civilization. People's dependence on the creative world they have created has become unprecedented, and humans have gradually become self-conscious in their "materialization." Faced with this situation, people have gradually realized the seriousness of this situation, and constantly seek a way out in the design field. Humanity has fallen into a paradox of control and anti-control, so that the ethical requirements of design become important. Together, the ethics of design reconstructed the value system of the entire society.

Today the entire society has entered an era of highly developed material civilization. People's dependence on the creative world they have created has become unprecedented. Humanity has gradually become a self-reified object. Faced with this situation, people have gradually realized the seriousness of this situation, and constantly seek a way out in the design field. Humanity has fallen into a paradox of control and anti-control, so that the ethical requirements of design become important. Together, the ethics of design reconstructed the value system of the entire society. Many of the finest design ideas in ancient times reflected the ethical requirements of design, and through the analysis of ancient design ideas, the development of modern design was revealed.

The ethical nature of modern design is not a strange term for modern design. The ethical nature of design has gradually deepened into the field of design. It gradually realizes the humanized design of all aspects of design, and it is designed to add more humanistic care. . The earliest proposed ethical design was American design theorist Victor Papanek. He published his most famous book Design for the Realword in the late 1960s. In the book, Babanak explicitly proposed three main issues for design: 1) Design should serve the broad masses of people, not a few rich countries. Here, he particularly emphasized that design should be changed to the Third World’s People Service; 2). Design not only serves healthy people, but must also be considered for the disabled; 3). Design should seriously consider Earth’s limited use of resources. The design should serve the limited resources that protect our earth. From the perspective of these issues, Babbanak's point of view clearly defines the positive role of design ethics in design. From the perspective of the current design development, it is important and urgent for you to change the ethical requirements of design. The ethic of design is the construction of a value system centering on "human", which in turn realizes the exchange of relations between people, the exchange between humans and nature, the exchange of relations between people, and at the same time it is divided into two. Levels: Political class nature and equal exchanges between people. Observing from these three levels basically includes the ethical aspects of design.
