This thesis focuses on two issues: 1) In the internet age when people can travel freely between real world and cyberspace, the exchange of self-role gives rise to new philosophical issues, that is, how to cognizance and understand Dasein as Being-in-the- virtual-world; 2) While cyberspace extends new horizons of space and time for being, and expands both contents and forms of human communication, it lead to alienation crisis in the life-world, so we how to face and resolve it.Most of domestic literatures approach to above questions from the point of view of ethics, but the author attempts to explore being and interaction in view of objectification and organon, and reflects on the essence of cyberspace and network interaction. So, not only does this thesis interpret the network technology from macro-facts, for example "emancipate", "alienation" and "domination", but also expounds specific living situation and cases from microcosmic phenomenon aspect.This thesis, at first, analyzes both phenomenon and essence of cyberspace, virtual reality, and network interaction, and points that "Dasein as Being-in-the-Cyberspace" becomes the new modes of "Dasein as Being-in-the-world". Then, the author explores cyberspace and network interaction from the viewpoint of postmodernism, and thinks the subject in cyberspace is not only the "individual" in a general sense, but a colony which is linked through interaction of network, displaying the characteristic of postmodern "fragment" and "self-deconstruction" in the course of net-intercommunication of "de-centralization". At the same time network technology provides more and more convenience in the trends of humanization, and results in the crisis of alienation of the living world. Finally, This thesis puts forward the question of control of cyberspace, and does some analysis to it, and investigates the ways of overcoming the crisis of alienation in the life-world from the sides of ethics, law and technology, etc, according to the theories on "self-discipline" and "heteronomy" of Kant, Hegel and Marx's.
