“天人合一”的误读与中国生态危机的出路

Misunderstanding of ‘Combination of the Heaven and Human Being’ and the Outlet for China’s Ecological Crisis

"天人合一"在古代主要是一个宗教命题,并由此展开为一种政治追求。但当今学界不少人却把它误读为追求人与自然关系的和谐,并视之为解决自然生态危机的良方,这并非对症下药。中国当前的自然生态危机与政治生态弊端、社会生态乱象是一种流与源的关系,只有正本清源才能为解决自然生态危机提供现实出路。

‘Combination of the Heaven and Human Being’in ancient China is mainly a religious proposition, and based on that the ancient people started a political pursuit. However, in today’s academic circles many people misunderstand it as the pursuit of harmony between man and nature, and consider it as a panacea for solving natural ecological crisis. Actually, it is not‘a right medicine’. The relationship between Chinese current political ecological problems, social ecosystem chaos and natural ecological crisis are something like the the source and flows, so, it is only reforming radically that can provide us a realistic way to solve the natural ecological crisis.
