Abstract: Risk society has already become one important character in present society. However, there are so much limitation that the traditional ethics, which includes utilitarianism, deontology and ethics of responsibility, cannot face up with the challenge of risk society. The ethics of responsibility has broken through the limitation of traditional ethics in the fields of spatio-temporal horizon, ethical object and central idea. Theorizing and reinforcing the ethics of responsibility can resolve positively and effectively the problem of social risk.

Key words: Risk Society; Utilitarianism; Deontology; Virtue Ethics; Ethics of Responsibility
