【摘要】 20世纪中期以来,人类在经历了科技快速发展,生产力大幅提高的同时,也经历了资源紧张,全球范围内的生态和环境的恶化。西方传统的资本主义现代化的模式日益显露出明显的缺陷。德国社会学家贝克在对西方现代化理论、发展道路做出分析的基础上,提出了“自反性现代化理论”和“风险社会理论”,成为20世纪晚期欧洲最有影响的社会分析理论之一。本文的研究目的在于通过对贝克风险社会理论的研究,以“重建现代性”为主线,全面解读贝克风险社会理论。本文首先将贝克的风险社会理论置于当代社会理论的学术与社会背景中进行研究。讨论了现代性问题的研究和发展对风险社会理论所产生的影响,并结合全球化时代经济社会领域出现的新情况、新问题,考察了风险社会理论形成的社会历史条件。在此基础上,本文对贝克风险社会理论的研究视角进行了梳理挖掘,分析出贝克风险社会理论所具有的“社会问题”、“社会政策”等研究角度。本文围绕“现代性”议题,重点剖析了贝克风险社会理论的构成。从现代性的演变入手,分析了当代社会风险的新特点,探讨了贝克在工业社会向风险社会的过渡中所看到的现代性的断裂。贝克并非单纯的对现代性提出质疑和批评,而是更为积极地看待现代性所暴露出的问题。贝克用自反性标示出风险社会的根本性质,用自反性现代化来概括我们所正在经历的现代性的激进化。本文还进一步研究了贝克有关风险社会自反性的思想,对风险问题与自反性现代化的关系进行了深入的探讨。认为自反性现代化与风险社会相对应,自反性现代化既是风险社会的本质基础,也为解决风险社会中的问题提供了方案。最后本文对贝克的风险社会理论的理论价值进行评价,探讨了该理论对于解决现代性问题的意义,以及对中国当代社会发展进程的启示。提出重视风险社会理论研究的开展,为和谐社会的建设提供理论支持。更多还原
