感染新冠病毒导致的疾病危害个人的身体健康与生命安全,其所造成的公共卫生危机在更广泛的社会范围内带来严重的社会后果。从更深远的社会后果上讲,新冠病毒的传播与影响是社会性的:它通过社会连接在人与人之间传播;其时空伴随的结构与社会结构的空间安排高度重叠;对于不同的社会群体带来不同的冲击。更为根本的是,新冠病毒的传播也毁坏社会连接,直接攻击社会团结,动摇“社会之所以成其为社会”的根本基础。传染病菌与社会有着不可调和的对抗,瘟疫能够动摇社会发展的轨迹,甚至危及人类社会文明与文化。理论与实践证明,巩固的社会团结与协同合作是应对传染病菌挑战的社会前提与基础。
Social Governance Strategy in the Epidemic: Social Solidarity and the Fight against Infectious Diseases
Wang Tianfu (Tsinghua University)
Abstract The disease caused by novel corona-virus infection does harm to the health and life safety of individuals and the public health crisis has serious social consequences in the wider social scope. In terms of more profound social consequences,novel corona-virus is social. It spreads between people through social connections and its spatial structure overlaps with the spatial arrangement of social structure,bringing different impacts to different social groups. More fundamentally,the spread of novel coronavirus also destroys social connections,directly attacks social unity and shakes the fundamental foundation of "society as society". Infectious diseases have an irreconcilable confrontation with the society,the plague can shake the trajectory of social development,and even endanger human social civilization and culture. Both theoretical and practical experiences testify that consolidated social unity and cooperation constitute the social premise and foundation for coping with the challenge of infectious diseases.
