从“天人合一”与“天人相分”看人与自然

Comment on the Relationship Between Nature and Human from the Angle of "the Unity of Heaven and Man" and "the Distinctiveness of Heaven and Man"

不论是中国的“天人合一”还是西方的“天人相分”,都没有处理好人类与自然和谐发展的问题。“天人合一”一味强调人类必须顺从自然,人类在大自然面前无所事事,缺乏对大自然的探索精神;而“天人相分”则一味强调以人为中心,征服自然,虽然促进了自然科学的发展,但也带来了严重的环境问题。我们应该吸取两者之精华而摒弃其糟粕,处理好人与自然的关系,为我们创建和谐社会服务。

Neither the Chinese ＂the Unity of Heaven and Man＂ nor the western ＂the Distinctiveness of Heaven and Man＂ deals with the harmonious development of human and nature. To the opinion of ＂the Unity Of Heaven end Man＂, we must submit to the nature, in this ease, we lack the spirit of exploring the nature; while to the opinion of ＂the Distinctiveness of Heaven and Man＂ we must conquer the nature, in this case, the natural science is promoted, but this causes the serious problem with the environment. We should absorb their quintessence and discard their dross, and deal with the relationship between human and nature to serve the foundation of the harmonious society.
