摘要
综合贝克和吉登斯对风险社会出路的探寻,可以发现,风险社会理论主张全面提升人类整体的风险意识,它并不否定人类实践,但强调要重视人类实践的负面后果;它并不否定社会发展,但强调要重视社会发展的副产品;它并不否定发展科学技术,但强调要重视科学技术的副作用。归根到底,风险社会理论就是强调要重视社会发展的风险。从这种观点出发,风险社会理论,既不是消极的悲观主义,也不是盲目的乐观主义,而是强调把风险意识作为一种具体的反省批判意识,以此确定人类合理的自我意识及风险意识,把自我意识转向人类如何能使自己进步的过程,把风险意识转向人类如何能有效防范风险的技术手段、制度安排及机制实施等方面上来。
By synthesizing all of Beck's and Giddens' research on the way out of risk society, the conclusion can be drawn that the risk society theory emphasizes improving the risk consciousness. It does not deny the human practice, but emphasizes the negative consequences of human practice; it does not deny the social development but emphasizes the byproducts of social development; it does not deny the development of science and technology but emphasizes to notice the side-effect of science and technology. In the final analysis, the risk society theory is to notice the risk in social development. In this perspective, the risk society theory is neither negative pessimism nor blind optimism, but regards the risk consciousness as the real self-criticism consciousness so as to establish the reasonable self-awareness and risk consciousness, while adjusting the self-awareness to the course of making human progress and adjusting the risk consciousness to the technical instrument and the institutional arrangement and mechanism of effective risk prevention.
