“天人合一”的生态意义究竟何在?——兼向刘兵、曹南燕教授请教

The Ecological Significance of "Unity of Heaven and Humanity"——Doubts about Professor Liu Bing and Professor Cao Nanyan's Interpretation

虽然"天人合一"本身并不简单地等同于人与自然和谐,但是"天人合一"思想却具体表现了人与自然和谐共存的思想。"天人合一"所蕴涵的等级价值体系和人与自然和谐共处是不矛盾的。"天人合一"思想的生态意义在于提供我们思考生态问题的新视域,以突破人类中心主义与非人类中心主义的两难困境。

Although the statement ＂Unity of Heaven and Humanity＂ does not simply mean ＂Harmony between Man and Nature＂, its implication embodies the idea of the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The hierarchical value system embodied in＂ Unity of Heaven and Humanity＂ is not in contradiction with the idea of the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The ecological significance of ＂Unity of Heaven and Humanity＂ helps us have a new vision of ecological problems, which can liberate ourselves from the dilemma of anthropocentrism and non-anthropocentrism
