价值共同体与环境义务

Value Community and Man' s Obligations to Environment

内在价值与系统价值是人类环境义务的必要前提,但依据这两个概念并不能直接得出人类的环境义务。人类的环境义务植根于人类在不同的价值共同体中的关系。文章通过对人类生存于其中的社会共同体和生态-社会共同体的分析,揭示了人类中心论与非人类中心论的两种片面性,阐明了人类既对自己的同类负有环境义务,也对生命物种负有环境义务。

Intrinsic value and systemic value are necessary preconditions of man' s obligations to his environment. However, man' s obligations to his environment can not directly be derived from these two concepts. They are rooted in human relations in the different value communities. Through an analysis of the social community and the eco - social community where human beings live, the paper successfully reveals the two kinds of one - sidedness of anthropocentrism and non - anthropocentrism. Also, the paper clarifies the viewpoint that human beings must fulfill their obligations to their environment not only for their own fellows, but also for the life species.
