Abstract: In the context of European political theories, the core idea of RRI does not go beyond Habermas’s thinking on the relationship between science, technology and governance in the 1960s: the triple legitimacy of government support for technological innovation; the dual shaping of common goals and trajectory of science and technology. What added by RRI is empirical ways to achieve the dual shaping.

摘要： 本文将“负责任研究与创新”放在欧洲政策思想史的背景中来解读，认为其核心内涵是通过公共协商的方式来塑造目标和价值，并依此塑造科技创新的路径和方向，从而实现社会和谐发展。这一核心内涵并没有超出哈贝马斯在1960年代关于科学技术与政府统治之关系的思想，即关于政府支持科技创新的三重合法性辩护、对共同目标和科技发展路径的双重塑造，所增加的新内容就在于如何实现这双重塑造的具体方法。
