风险社会与生态启蒙

Risk Society and Ecological Enlightenment

风险本质上是一个现代性范畴,风险社会是现代性自反性运动的制度效应与负面后果。超越现代性风险困境的前提是反思启蒙与重构理性,因而必须重释生态启蒙。作为一种知性革命、政治运动与社会实践的生态启蒙,实质是启蒙的启蒙、理性的理性化,也是一种生态民主政治与批判性社会实践。生态启蒙要求吸纳生态理性、维护生态正义、开展生态治理与构建全球生态正义,通过重构人与人的利益分配机制与伦理道德规范而超越人与自然的二元困境,从而推动从工业文明向生态文明的转型。

In essence the risk is a category of modernity,and the risk society is an institutional effect and negative result of reflexive movement in modernity.The reflection on enlightenment and reconstruction of reason is a possible way to overcome the predicament of modernity.The ecological enlightenment,which is regarded as an intellectual revolution and political and social practice,is essentially a second enlightenment and rationalization.It is proposed to absorb ecological rationality into enlightenment rationality,maintain ecological justice and carry out ecological governance.The ecological enlightenment will go beyond the binary dilemma between man and nature by reconstructing a distribute mechanism and ethics in risk society,thus promoting transformations from industrial civilization to ecological civilization.
