摘要
我们所生活的现代社会从某种意义上就是风险社会。随着理性的张扬,科学技术无止境的发展,人类制造了许多文明风险,我们生活在各种社会风险之中。同时,在现代社会里,人类面临的风险状况已经发生改变,各种人为的文明风险在社会风险中开始占据主导地位。这种情况下,人类开始从伦理方面寻求应对的希望。然而,传统的伦理理论主要属于信念伦理的范畴,它注重行为所依据的动机和目的,而忽视了目的和手段之间的关联,不重视对责任后果的承担,因此,它难以契合风险社会要求对行为后果的关注。而责任伦理则和现代社会有诸多契合,它认为道德的根据主要在于行动的后果,它要求行为者对自己行动的后果负责。面对如此复杂的生存环境,我们应该进行伦理观念的变革,实现从信念伦理到责任伦理的转变。
In a sense, modem society is a risk one, in which mankind has created a lot of risks. Therefore we live in a variety of social risks. At the same time, in the modem society, the risk status which human beings face has changed, and various artificial risks in society began to dominate. In this case, people began seeking ethics. However, the traditional ethics theories mainly belong to the ethics of belief. It emphasizes hope from the the motivation and purpose, but ignores the relevancy between the aims and means, and doesnt pay attention to the responsibility of the consequences. Therefore, it is difficult to deal with the risk society. However, there are many fits between the ethics of responsibility and modem society. The former considers that the moral foundation mainly lies in the consequences of actions, and requires that the actors should be responsible for the consequences. In the face of such a complex environment, we should change the ethical idea from ethics of belief to ethics of responsibility.
