Abstract: The paradigm of realizing technological ethics is an important issue in the field of contemporary philosophy of technology. According to the basic categories of technological ethics, the realization of technological ethics means the implementation of the ought-to-be relationship between human and technology in practice, as well as the realization of the ethical potential of agents in action. Thus, the paradigm transformation of realizing technological ethics can be anchored as follows: the ethical purpose has shifted from defending the boundary between human beings and technologies to pursuing the authentic coexistence of human beings and technologies, the ethical agents have changed from humans with absolute autonomy to human-technology hybrids, and the mechanism has turned from the external ethical stipulation to the inter-embedded accomplishment of ethics and technologies. The value orientation behind the paradigm transformation includes the recovery of practical interest of technological ethics, post-humanist perspectives and ethical norms based on responsibility.

Key words: realization of technological ethics; paradigm transformation; authentic coexistence; hybrid agent; ethical accompaniment
