The Foundations of Human-centred Systems

  • Chapter
Human Machine Symbiosis

Part of the book series: Human-centred Systems ((HCS))

Abstract

What role could and should science and technology research play in meeting new challenges of social vulnerability, environmental and ecological risk, the brittleness of economic, industrial and political orthodoxies, and an increasing dependency on technological systems? These challenges are products of a science and technology rooted in the ‘mechanistic’ paradigm of the ‘one best way’, ‘sameness of science’, and the ‘dream of the exact language’. The human-centred tradition moderates science and technology by mitigating the mechanistic paradigm through concepts such as human purpose, diversity, participation, social responsibility, equality, ethics, creativity and ecology and the environment. It provides theoretical and methodological frameworks for the social and cultural shaping of technologies emphasising human-machine symbiosis, creativity and innovation, participatory and cooperative design, and the tacit dimension of knowledge. These issues are very much part of the human-centred debates whose origins lie in the European human-centred movements of the 1970s, in particular the British LUCAS Plan of socially useful technology, the Scandinavian tradition of participatory democracy, and the German programme on humanisation of work. These debates converged and were consolidated in the European Commission programme on anthropocentric systems (APS) in the 1980s.
