从工业文明到生态文明:非自然性科学、环境破坏与自然回归

From Industrial Civilization to Ecological Civilization: the Unnatural Nature of Science, Environmental Destruction and Returning to Nature

科学技术论的有关研究表明,科学是建构的产物,自然科学非自然。进一步的分析表明,非自然性的科学既是工业文明的基础,同时也是其产生环境问题的重要原因。要实现从工业文明向生态文明的转变,应该使科学更多地走出实验室,回归自然,以获得对自然的更多、更全面、更正确的认识。回归自然的科学(真正的自然科学)是生态文明的基础,必须:以新自然观为基础,进行新的科学革命;复兴博物科学的传统;让科学适应自然而不是相反;重视地方性知识的生态价值;让自然做科学的最终裁判者。

Western science and technology studies show that natural science is unnatural. Further analysis shows that the unnatural science is not only the foundation of industrial civilization, but also the significant cause of the environmental issues produced from it. With the aim of constructing the ecological civilization, science should be, to a greater extent, go out of the lab, return to nature, in order to obtain more com- prehensive and correct understanding of the laws of nature. Returning to natural science （the real nature science） is the basis of ecological civili- zation. It requires： a new view of nature as the basis for the new scientific revolution; the revival of the tradition of natural history~ it requires science to adapt to nature rather than the reverse; the emphasis on ecological value of the local knowledge; let nature to be the final judge of sci-
