摘要
将自然等同于自然界,这是现代人的现代意识,这种意识导致了人对自然的掠夺和破坏。批判现代性和保护自然环境,应该把自然和自然界区别开来。可是在目前的生态伦理学研究中,由于未能区分自然和自然界,错误地将"人是自然一部分"等命题作为生态伦理何以存在的哲学根据。人只能归属于自然,而不能归属于自然界,人与自然界合二为一,人就沦落为自然存在物。人是自然存在物并不能够合乎逻辑地推论出人是道德存在物。
It is a modern conception to equate Nature with the Natural World. This idea results in the depredation and destruction of nature. To criticize modernity and to protect our natural environment, we should make distinction between Nature and the Natural World. In the contemporary study of ecological ethics, the proposition 'Man is a part of Nature' is taken as the philosophical ground of ecological ethics. However, because no distinction is made between the two concepts, this proposition is often misleading. Man can only be in harmony with nature. They can not be amalgamated in the natural world. Such amalgamation will reduce man as natural being. From 'Man is natural being', we cannot logically infer that 'Man is moral being'.
