Proceeding from the philosophical concept of "the unity of heaven and man", Comrade Zhong Jun took the commonality of "natural haze" and "social haze" as the guide, took the problem as the starting point, started from practice, and carried out a positive and beneficial academic exploration on the logic and reality of social risks in contemporary China with a historical perspective, truth-seeking spirit and cautious and optimistic attitude, fully demonstrating the feelings and academic responsibility of a young scholar. Social risk research is an old topic and at the same time a new one. It is said to be an old topic because there has always been a risk problem since the birth of human society, which is also an old topic that the academic circles at home and abroad have always paid attention to. It is a new topic because in the great struggle with many new historical characteristics, with the in-depth advancement of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, comprehensively deepening reform, comprehensively promoting the rule of law and comprehensively administering the party strictly, we are facing unprecedented rare opportunities and unprecedented challenges, and in the new context of economic development entering the new normal, how to calmly deal with and focus on resolving social risks in the new situation and new stage has become a hot issue in front of people and needs to be solved urgently. Social risk research is a theoretical topic as well as a practical topic. It is a theoretical topic because this research involves the connotation, characteristics and generative evolution law of social risk, as well as basic issues such as Marxist social risk theory and Western risk society theory, and is a highly theoretical topic. It is said to be a realistic topic because this research focuses on revealing various risk shells in contemporary Chinese society, and the main purpose of the research is also to provide policy support and decision-making basis for resolving social risks, which is a realistic topic. Social risk research is a topic in a "single" field and a topic in a "compound" field. It is "single" because the object of study on this topic is clear and specific. It is "complex" because the manifestations of social risks are diverse, covering many fields, involving all aspects of society, and it is indeed a difficult thing to control freely. In my opinion, this book runs through a strong sense of problem and a clear problem orientation. Mao Zedong once pointed out that problems are contradictions in things, and where there are unresolved contradictions, there are problems. The reason why the author can put forward the "haze" of society and think deeply and systematically is precisely from facing and reflecting on social contradictions and practical problems. If there is a "smog" in society, no one can escape, nowhere to run, no way to escape, "If the gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger and bigger, where do you look for fairness?" If integrity is generally lacking, who should you trust? If corruption becomes a rule, can you only bow down to power; If GDP becomes the only pursuit, where do you look for a beautiful ecological environment? If democratic rule of law becomes a formality, to whom do you cry out for injustice? If the people's livelihood difficulties accumulate, how can you survive? If everyone has their own values, how do you relate to people? If every city is overswollen, where do you look for hideaway? These thought-provoking interrogations are ringing the bell of vigilance against the "haze" of society all the time. This book also reflects a scholar's feelings for the people and correct political orientation. To govern education, we must have a strong sense of social responsibility, and paying attention to major practical issues such as social contradictions and social risks is even more for the country to share worries and solve difficulties for the people. Putting adherence to the correct political direction and academic orientation in the first place is also an important feature of this book. The book always consciously uses Marxist positions and viewpoints to analyze problems, and the analysis and evaluation of social risks in various fields are more objective and accurate, especially when analyzing social risks in the cultural field, and makes academic expressions with a clear-cut, straightforward and daring to show the sword on the problems of lack of value consensus in the vacuum of faith, moral decline, ideological dilution and the spread of "universal values". This book also has a more rigorous logical framework and scientific thinking methods. From the perspective of building a socialist harmonious society, taking contemporary Chinese social risks and social contradictions as the research object, and with the purpose of continuously promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity and resolving social risks, the book focuses on scientifically defining the concept and characteristics of social risks, systematically sorting out Marxist social contradictions and social risk theory, and dialectically analyzing Western risk social theory, based on the actual situation, manifestations and causes of social risks in China, and strives to explore the realization path of preventing and resolving social risks. The scientific method is the key to success. Based on the current situation that the judgment and research of social risk in the theoretical circles are mostly qualitative analysis, and the lack of quantitative empirical research on the specific manifestations and degrees of social contradictions in China, the shell of social risks and their possible consequences, the book conducts more objective and systematic empirical research through questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews. In addition, using historical materialism to investigate the risk society, using the interest analysis method, that is, the class analysis method, to see the causes of risk, and using the dialectical thinking method to analyze the internal relationship between social contradictions and social risks, it can be said that the methodology of dialectical materialism can be seen everywhere. I think that in this book, the author's language is sharp and wise, and the style is simple and lively. For example, "the 'haze' of nature is terrible, and the 'haze' of society is even more terrible", "The smoke and sand in the "haze" of society can be faintly seen, but cannot be grasped." I know it's poisonous, but I can't avoid it" and other languages are more graphically profound. The titles of each chapter are more eye-catching and to the point. The author also attaches great importance to integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China's current reality to draw new theoretical viewpoints. Frankly speaking, the connotation of social risk varies from subject area to discipline and discourse. Therefore, the question of "what is social risk" in academia is relatively controversial, and no definition has been universally recognized. The author attempts to define social risk from two aspects: abstract connotation and concrete extension, the former highlighting the possibility and the latter emphasizing systematic, and believes that social risk should be composed of four parts: social risk source, social risk shell, social risk entropy, and social risk consequences. These four parts are combined to outline a relatively complete concept of social risk. This may provide a dynamic and systematic thinking perspective for academia to understand and define social risks more accurately. Resolving social risks requires "metaphysical" philosophical thinking and the guidance of Marxist philosophical epistemology, methodology and axiology; At the same time, it also needs a "metaphysical" practical strategy, macroscopic socialism with Chinese characteristics, innovative social governance, and warm reform (that is, reform that combines the people's immediate interests with long-term interests, partial interests and overall interests) these three strategic pillars are organically and effectively integrated, and it is necessary to improve the four major mechanisms of interest integration mechanism, social mobility mechanism, social safety valve mechanism, risk assessment and early warning mechanism at the operational level, all of which have the taste of innovation, forward-looking and operability. The study of social risk issues is difficult and wide-ranging, and this book has made preliminary explorations and attempts, and there is still room for further improvement in many aspects. Dr. Zhong Jun is the backbone of the scientific research of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, although he is not old, he is well-informed, active in thinking, has unique insights on many issues, and has strong organizational skills. I am very willing to interact with young people, and I can often learn a lot of valuable things from them, including Comrade Zhong Jun. Marxism is a doctrine of distress, which worries about the sky, the land, and the people, but it is also a doctrine of optimism, and the fundamental basis for optimism, according to the traditional Chinese saying, is that "the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves", that is, "the blue is better than the blue." Comrade Zhong Jun's book is about to be completed, and I hope that I will write a foreword to the book. I have taken this opportunity to talk about these ideas, and I sincerely hope that the book will be helpful to readers. Li Shenming, January 30, 2015(AI翻译)
