当代生态危机的历史文化根源

Historical and Cultural Roots of the Modern Ecological Crisis

人与自然的关系不仅仅是哲学探讨的主题,而且也越来越成为我们每个人都须思考的问题,传统的西方哲学思想将其做主客二分,否认人与自然之间有直接的道德关系,这是西方工业社会控制、开发、支配自然万物的理论基础。对于自然我们需要作独立于人类的价值评估,不光看到它的工具价值,更应发现它内在的价值,转变人类中心主义世界观,敬畏生命,尊重自然,正确地理解人在自然界中的价值地位。

The relationship between man and nature is not only a subject explored in philosophy fields but also a problem for everyone to think about. The traditional Western philosophy likes to divide it into two aspects of subjective and objective, and denies the direct moral relation between man and nature. It is the theory basic on that Western industrial society dominating everythings of nature. We must evaluate nature's value by the attitude of independent from human rather than taking it as tools, at the same time, finding its inner values and changing the man-centered outlook. In conclusion, we must respect nature and understand correctly the man's position in natural world.
