数字时代背景下哈贝马斯社会整合理论再审视

Revisiting Habermas’ Theory of Social Integration in the Digital Age

摘要: 社会整合是每个时代都需要面对的重大问题，数字时代的数字化、智能化等新特征重塑了社会运行形态，也使社会整合面临新挑战。哈贝马斯社会整合理论给当代资本主义新变化与内在矛盾、理解规范性与事实性相统一的社会整合问题提供了关键视角。数字时代下，算法主导的交往模式引发交往能力退化、社会认同消解、合法性侵蚀等危机，亟需依托经典理论探寻破解路径。将哈贝马斯的社会整合理论与数字时代特征相结合重新思考，不仅为批判数字时代结构性矛盾提供分析工具，更为我国国家治理现代化与数字社会有序发展提供重要理论支撑与实践启示。

Abstract: Social integration is a critical issue that every era must confront. The digital age, characterized by digitization and intelligence, has reshaped the operational dynamics of society while introducing new challenges to social integration. Habermas’s theory of social integration offers a pivotal lens for examining the new transformations and inherent contradictions of contemporary capitalism, as well as understanding the unification of normative and factual dimensions in social integration. In the digital era, algorithm-dominated modes of interaction have triggered crises such as the decline of communicative competence, the dissolution of social identity, and the erosion of legitimacy, necessitating the exploration of solutions grounded in classical theories. Revisiting Habermas’s theory of social integration in light of the digital age not only provides analytical tools for critiquing structural contradictions in this era but also offers significant theoretical support and practical insights for advancing China’s modernization of national governance and the orderly development of a digital society.
