人类社会的创生、发展、转型与技术的进步密不可分。如今,现代社会较之传统社会发生了根本性变化,网络技术的革命性进步已经使人类逐渐从网络信息时代走向网络风险时代。互联网创生的“第二场域”塑造的全新空间景观与生存体验,将人类的生存与发展置于一个多重风险的网络空间之中。网络空间的时空逻辑使人类的生活体验由传统的“定点场域”转变为“流动场域”,衍生了“全景式”与“脱域性”的网络风险。现代化语境下网络风险日益成为关乎人类可持续生存的时代性社会问题。基于此,以风险社会理论与网络特性融合为切入点,将网络风险嵌入风险社会理论中审视,揭示网络风险的生成逻辑,分析网络风险的表现形式及其特征。在此基础之上,以期探析消解网络风险的有效路径,实现社会理性与网络理性、自由与秩序的融合。

The creation, development, and transformation of human society are inseparable from the technological progress. Nowadays, the modern society is undergoing fundamental changes compared to traditional society. The revolutionary progress of network technology has made human beings move gradually from the era of network information to the era of network risk. A brand-new spatial landscape and survival experience in the "second field" created by the Internet places human survival and development in a multi-risk cyberspace. Because of the spatial and temporal logic of cyberspace, human life experience has transformed from the traditional "fixed field" into a "flow field", which has aroused cyber risks in the manner of panorama and delocality. In the context of modernization, cyber risk is increasingly becoming an epochal social issue that concerns human sustainable existence. Accordingly, the paper takes the integration of risk social theory and network characteristics as the starting point and looks into the cyber risk in the view of risk social theory. It aims to reveale the generation logic of cyber risk and its manifestations and characteristics. On this basis, effective ways are to be explored to eliminate cyber risks and achieve the integration of social rationality and cyber rationality, and the freedom and the order as well.
