This paper discusses how John Dewey’s notion of intelligent habit could contribute to technology ethics. For Dewey, intelligent (i.e., desirable) habits are reflective – arising from inquiry into the appropriate courses of action in each situation – and flexible – easily adaptable to the changing circumstances. We should strive to develop intelligent habits as they are the best tools for the achievement of our goals and are necessary for individual and societal flourishing. I argue that Dewey’s notion of intelligent habit makes it possible to identify the impact of technology on users’ identity and self-determination, advocate for the extension of user choice and malleability of technologies, and analyse the connections between the epistemic dimension of technology and users’ ability to flourish.

杜威的智能习惯概念作为技术伦理评估的基础

本文讨论了约翰·杜威的智能习惯概念如何为技术伦理做出贡献。对于杜威来说，聪明的（即理想的）习惯是反思性的——源于对每种情况下适当行动方案的探究——并且是灵活的——容易适应不断变化的环境。我们应该努力养成聪明的习惯，因为它们是实现我们目标的最佳工具，也是个人和社会繁荣所必需的。我认为杜威的智能习惯概念使得识别技术对用户身份和自决的影响成为可能，主张用户选择的延伸和技术的可塑性，并分析技术与用户的认知维度之间的联系' 蓬勃发展的能力。
