网络的类市场环境与道德的自发生成

The Market-like Environment of the Internet and the Spontaneous Generation of Morality

历史及事实皆显示道德在很大程度上沿自生自发的发展路径生成。网络实践较为明显地带来了个人的自主与自由,尤有价值的是文化上的自主性。网络环境是类市场环境,这种类市场环境的特征会逐步促使无数上网个体的自主性的觉醒,进一步确立起个体作为责任主体和道德主体的地位,最终有助于个体道德的生长。网络的类市场环境不仅有助于道德的自发生长,且意外地使自由、自主与道德三者形成了互相促进、相得益彰的关系。已经和正在展现的事实都表明网络的类市场环境让个体的自由、自主与道德获得了前所未有的发展空间,道德因素在网络世界愈发显示出其重要性和力量,并辐射与作用于现实社会。这使我们依然可以对信息时代的道德充满信心。

Both history and facts have shown that morality, to a great extent, develops along an autogenetic road. The practice of the internet has obviously brought with it the automony and freedom of the individuals, among which the automony in culture has special value. Internet environment has market-like nature which will gradually awaken the sense of automony of the numerous netizens. This will further promote the position of the individual as the subject of responsibility and morality, which will eventually help the growth of individual morality. The market-like environment of the internet is not only favorable for the ontogenetic growth of morality, but also accidentally helps the three elements of freedom, automony and morality to form a mutual promoting and complementary relationship. All the existing facts show that such an environment has ensured an unparalleled space for the development of individual freedom, autonomy and morality. Moral factors have been playing an increasingly important and powerful role in the world of the internet and have been effecting the current society. All these give us confidence in the morality of the information age.
