摘要/Abstract

自 18 世纪以来，人类社会经过三次产业革命，已形成以机械、网络为基本架构的现代社会。在此种 视角下，今人之死不同于古人之死。古人之死意味着人与自然世界的分离，而今人之死增添了两层额外的 含义即人与机械世界、网络世界的分离。因而，现代人无疑面临着更为严重的死亡忧虑。当代哲学应当在 继承哲学史上哲学家对死亡的形而上学思考的基础上，承担起为人类提供终极人文关怀的使命。

Since the 18th century, after three industrial revolutions, human society has formed a modern society based on machinery and network. From this perspective, modern people's death is different from that of the ancients. The death of the ancients means the separation of man from the natural world, while the death of today adds two additional meanings: the separation of man from the mechanical world and the network world. Therefore, modern people undoubtedly face more serious death worries. On the basis of inheriting philosophers' metaphysical thinking of death in the history of philosophy, contemporary philosophy should undertake the mission of providing ultimate humane care for mankind.
