论儒家的生态伦理自然观——“时中”生态智慧与同心圆生态模型

On the Confucian View of Nature Based on Ecological Ethics——Ecological Wisdom of Time-Dependent Mean and Ecological Mode of Concentric Circle

儒家重"时"尚"中",其生态伦理自然观的精神内核是"时中"。儒家生态伦理自然观具有两重内涵,一是贵人而不惟人的非人类中心主义生态伦理情感立场,二是尽物而亦爱物的待物有别的生态伦理价值选择。在生态文明特别是生态伦理的意义上,两者都遵循着同心圆的生态模型。基于此,儒家的生态伦理自然观对当前的生态文明建设具有非常重要的资源意义和启发作用。

Confucianism pays attention to the Time and advocates the Mean, and the spiritual core of the Confucian view of nature based on ecological ethics is the Time-Dependent Mean. There are twofold connotations in this view of nature: one upholds the preciousness of human being but sticks to an ecological ethics; the other exploits creatures but also cares about them, which is a value choice of ecological ethics with different orders. In the sense of the ecological civilization and especially the ecological ethics, Confucian view of nature follows the concentric circle as the ecological mode. In a word, Confucian view of nature that is based on the ecological ethics provides very important theoretical resources and inspiration for the construction of ecological civilization.
