In the contemporary society with the rapid development of science and technology, the instrumental value of science and technology has been brought into full play. At the same time, a series of ethical dilemmas of science and technology have also been highlighted, which seriously affect the social development order and the quality of human existence. This paper focuses on the ethical dilemma of science and technology, analyzes its realistic representation and deep roots by philosophical thinking, and puts forward a targeted philosophical construction path combining the dialectical relationship between instrumental rationality and value rationality. Firstly, it expounds the background and significance of scientific and technological ethics research, and clarifies the research ideas and methods; secondly, it combs the realistic manifestations of scientific and technological ethics dilemma, and discusses it from three dimensions: right conflict, responsibility ambiguity and value imbalance; Finally, from three aspects of value rationality regression, ethics subject reconstruction and ethics norm perfection, this paper puts forward the philosophical construction strategy of science and technology ethics system, summarizes the research conclusion and looks forward to the future development. The research aims to provide philosophical theoretical support for solving the ethical dilemma of science and technology, realizing the coordinated development of science and technology and humanities, and promoting the healthy development of science and technology in the direction of human common interests.
