One manifestation of human progress is the transformation from nature to artificial nature, through which technology plays the important roles of driving force. However, the development of technology, especially the development of modern technology, brings all types of risks to human being as it pushes forward the formation and progress of artificial nature as well as promote the living conditions. These risks are derived from every steps of technological process and pose a threat to the daily life and living of human beings. Suggestions on how to avoid and overcome such risks and analyze its origin from the perspective of philosophy of technology is needed.Based on the theory of artificial nature, theory of technological process and relevant theories about risks, this paper focuses on the essence, origin and classification of risk during the transformation process from nature to artificial nature and analyzes them. The paper analyzes the origin of all risks have been illustrated and classifies ten common risks in practice. Further more, the paper explores the theoretical foundations and means which used to avoid and overcome risks from the perspective of theory of philosophy of technology and theory of artificial nature. In special, the solutions to different types of risks have been introduced. In the analysis of three kinds of risks, the analytical method, strategy and analytical process have been introduced taken the cases of Wenchuan earthquake, SARS, influenza A (H1N1) and global crisis of 2008.In addition, the origin and demonstration of risks as well as the basis and means for risks avoidance have also been discussed.This article holds that to avoid and overcome the risk, we should at first start from the technology itself, find the root causes of the risk and give the right solution. At the same time, we should also explore the links between micro-technology nodes on the process of macro-technology combined with the actual situation of different regions. The grasp of the dynamics characteristics of technology, the social attribute of technology, should be considered and paid attention to. In addition, comprehensive and effective technical assessment and forecast should be carried out, so to achieve optimally resolved of riskt.
