儒学:在基督教与佛教之间——以人类中心主义为中心

Confucianism,Christianity and Buddhism:A Human Centralist Perspective

人类中心主义是以人为中心,以人的利益和需要来思考人与自然关系的理论。基督教“是所有宗教中最具人类中心主义色彩的宗教”;佛教则认为众生平等,人类没有凌驾于万物之上、主宰世界的权利。儒家在人与自然的关系问题上介于二者之间,主张人与自然或生态的和谐统一。

Human Centralism is a theory, according which men are the center of everything and the relationship between men and nature should be considered by taking first of all human interest and needs into consideration. Christianity ＂is a religion which places the greatest emphasis on human beings＂, whereas Buddhism assumes that all living beings are equal, and men do not have the right to override and dominate the world, and Confucianism is just in between in terms of its view on the relationship between men and nature.
