论生态伦理学崛起的必然性和超越性

On the Inevitability and Superiority of Ecological Ethics

生态伦理学是出现于 2 0世纪 6 0至 70年代的一门新兴学科 ,其产生具有一定的历史必然性。与传统伦理相比较 ,它在理论基础、思维方式、道德对象、善恶标准等方面都有所超越 ,并赋予了这些范畴新的内涵 ,把伦理从人类社会领域扩展到了包括自然在内的整个生态范围。如何现实地建构生态伦理学自身的规范体系成为更具有挑战性的课题。

Ecological ethics is a new discipline that was started in the 1960s and 70s. As the natural result of the development of ethics, it is based upon new understandings in its basic principles, ways of thinking, objects of study and the moral standards. It extended the ethic concern from the area of social science to the whole scope of the ecological science. It has also presented a challenging task of establishing a realistic ecological ethic system.
