后工业化进程中的伦理与政治

On Politics and Ethics in the Context of Post-industrialization

对于人的生存和社会的存在而言,伦理与政治往往成为人们的关注重心。我们当前处在后工业化进程中,而后工业化则是一场人类社会从工业时代向后工业时代转型的运动,意味着后工业社会将被开拓出来。因而,后工业社会的伦理与政治将是什么样子,就是一个需要我们现在加以思考的问题。从人类历史看,农业社会的伦理与政治尚未实现分化,是处于一种混沌的状态。在工业社会中,随着社会生活的领域分化以及认识上的科学分化,伦理与政治无论是在实践上还是在研究上都被区分了开来。然而,在后工业化进程中,工业社会对伦理与政治的区分在实践上产生了诸多恶果,在理论上也出现了逻辑自反。可以预见,人类走向后工业社会的进程将是伦理与政治相融合的进程。

Politics and ethics often play significant roles for human survival and social existence.Mankind is now going through a process of globalization and post-industrialization,which refers to the transformation of human society from the industrial era to the post-industrial era and heralds the arrival of a new post-industrial society.In this context,what politics and ethics of the post-industrial society will look like would be a question worth thinking about.Historically,the politics and ethics of agricultural society were in a state of chaos.When it comes to industrial society,with the differentiation of fields in social life and the scientific differentiation of cognition,politics and ethics have been distinguished both in practice and in research.However,with the advent of globalization and post-industrialization,the distinction between politics and ethics has caused lots of adverse consequences in practice and logical reflexivity in theory.It can be predicted that the process of globalization and post-industrialization will bring the integration of politics and ethics.
