资源利用行为的道德诠释与资源话语的当下转换

The Conversion of Moral Discourse Interpretation and Resource Utilization Behavior

自然资源是人的物质生存基础。为着人的生存而对人与资源关系作出伦理规范,其实质是通过资源来对类生存下的人与人关系作出道德设定。因此资源伦理折射的是人通过资源更好地实现人的类生存。从这一意义上说,资源伦理总是表现为对人的生存正当性的一种辩护。无论是人类早期对资源的粗暴,还是人类曾经对资源的节约,都曾获得道德辩护。人的类生存无疑构成人类存在的根本标准,这也成为人的类生存资源道德的根本尺度。人的类生存所遭遇的困惑不同,资源伦理对人的资源行为的正当性、合理性的阐释必定随之不同。类存在意义上的伦理主张的实现,应当体现为人们对资源多样性价值的认识和转化。

Natural resources are the material basis of human life. The ethical norms for the relation between man and natural resources are established for the sake of human survival, and it is essentially an attempt to morally adjust the interpersonal relations through natural resources. In other words, resource ethics reflects the fact that men better achieve its survival by utilizing the resources. In this sense, resource ethics always manifests itself as a justification of man＇s survival. For example, the early man＇s tough exploitation of natural resources and the recent efforts to reserve natural resources are all morally justified. Man＇s species-being is undoubtedly the fundamental standard for both human existence and resource ethics. As man＇s perplexity concerning their existence varies, the justifiableness and propriety of man＇s behavior towards natural resources will also be interpreted differently by resource ethics. In reality, the ethical claims of human survival should be reflected in man＇s recognition of the diversity of the value of natural resources.
