《向苍天呼吁》:走向一种生态社会

Go Tell on the Mountain: Move Towards an Ecological Society

社会生态学认为，生态危机的本质根源不是传统的形而上学和伦理学的失误，而是社会生活模式的弊端。人类社会是自然生态系统的组成部分，必须重视自然规律对社会结构、体制以及社会生活方式的作用，从而重整社会生态模式，解决人与自然关系的社会重构问题。20世纪非洲裔美国作家詹姆斯-鲍德温在小说《向苍天呼吁》中从人道主义社会生态关怀出发，深刻揭露了20世纪30年代美国社会种族迫害、宗教欺骗和政治压迫给人民带来的深重苦难，明确表达了他反对种族迫害，主张白人与黑人的友爱；反对宗教欺骗，主张信仰自由；反对政治压迫，主张人人平等，从而以相互关爱、和谐相处的社会关系实现人类的重新共同体化，走向一种生态社会的思想。

Social ecology thinks that the essential root of ecological crisis is not the traditional metaphysics or the ethical fault but is the malpractice of social life mode. Human society is a component of the natural ecosystem. We must attach importance to the function of the natural law on the social structure, social system and the mode of social life. Consequently, we will reform the mode of social ecology and solve the problem of social reconstruction concerning the relation between man and nature. In his novel Go Tell on the Mountain, James Baldwin, an Mrican-American writer in the 20th century, starting from humanistic social ecological concern, deeply exposes the serious and heavy suffering brought by racial discrimination, religious fraud and political oppression in the American society in the 1930s and clearly expresses his ideas to oppose racial persecution, religious fraud and political oppression, to claim brotherliness between the black and the white, to claim freedom of belief, and equality of everybody, and sequentially to realize re-communizing human beings with the social relations.
