论梭罗《瓦尔登湖》的深层生态学思想

On the Deep Ecology Thought in Thoreau's Walden

作为19世纪美国著名的超验主义作家,梭罗在他广为人知的作品《瓦尔登湖》中,对自然的描写处处渗透着一种深层生态学思想。其作品中的自然是一个相互联系、和谐的整体。梭罗多次在文中质疑人类对自然的统治权利。他平等地看待自然中的每一个生命。人类作为自然中能动性最强的存在物,应该主动担当起改善生态环境的责任,保护包括自己的物种在内的每个自然存在物,而不是滥用对自然进行改造的能力,人与自然应该和谐相处。

As a great American transcendentalist in the 19th century,Thoreau reveals his deep ecology thought through his description of nature in his famous work Walden.Nature in his work is an interrelated and harmonious whole and in Walden,Thoreau frequently challenges human ruling power over nature.In his eyes,all the things in nature are equal,and human beings who have the strongest dynamic role should take on the responsibility of improving ecological environment.Human beings should also protect every creature in nature,including themselves,and should not abuse their power of changing nature.Human and nature should live with each other in harmony.
