非人类中心主义对道德共同体范围的拓展

On the Practical Significance of the Non-anthropocentrism That Expands Morality Community

按照道德共同体范围拓展程度的不同,非人类中心主义可以分为动物中心主义、生命中心主义和生态中心主义。它们分别将道德共同体的范围从人类拓展到动物,所有生命,乃至整个生态系统。这不仅显示了人类具有包容万物的宽广胸怀和道德境界,也反映了人类具有妥善处理人和大自然之间关系的伦理智慧,因而具有十分重要的现实意义。

According to different levels of morality community, we can divide it into three types： animal-centrism, life-centrism and eco-centrism. We expand the morality community into animal, all life, even entire ecosystem from the human being. This demonstrates that human being not only has the extensive morality realm containing all things on earth; it also reflects that the human being is capable to handle the relationship between the nature and human being. So it has very important and practical significance.
