人工自然·熵·生态文化

Built Nature·Entropy·Eco-culture

人类在创建人工自然的过程中,由于过度地开发、利用自然,产生了超额熵增,自然环境本身提供的负熵却不足以抵消与平衡,从而引起了生态危机。本文试图运用熵理论来解读这一现象,认为人类在积极寻找诸如"能源负熵"、"科技负熵"的同时,更应该在认识系统中引进"文化负熵"———生态文化来指导、规范人类的实践活动,促进人、自然、社会的协调和有序发展。

During the process of creating built nature, human beings explore and utilize nature unduly, which causes excessive increase of entropy while the negative entropy from the natural environment is not sufficient to counteract it, and thus the eco-crisis is caused. This paper interprets the phenomenon through the theory of entropy. It argues that along with the search for ＂energy negative entropy＂, ＂scientific and technological negative entropy＂, we should also introduce ＂cultural negative entropy＂, the eco-culture concept into our epistemological system to direct and restrict human being＇s practice in order to promote the harmonious development of human beings, nature and the society.
