试论老子的生态智慧及其现代启示

On Laotzu’s Ecological Thoughts and Its Significance Today

老子的生态哲学思想可以归纳为三个方面:"道生万物"物无贵贱的万物平等观、"道法自然"的生态规律观以及"自然无为"的生态实践观。它告诫我们在处理人与自然关系时应该改变传统的以人为中心、把自然看成人的依附物的观念,树立全面、协调、可持续的发展观,放弃为追求利益和效率最大化对自然进行随心所欲的改造的做法,加强对技术以及人的私心、贪心的道德约束,建立平等、和谐的生态环境。

Laotzu＇s view of ecophilosophy could be generalized into three aspects：firstly,the viewpoint of“Tao generates everything”which means that everything in the nature is equal in values;secondly,the viewpoint of“Tao follows nature”which is about ecological rules and the viewpoint of“natural inaction”,the ecological viewpoint of practice. Laotzu＇s view reminds us that when dealing with the relationship between human and nature,people should change the traditional belief that nature is human-centered and human-attached,abandon reforming nature rashly for the maximum of interest and efficiency,establish the viewpoint of comprehensive,coordinated and sustainable development and strengthen the moral restraint of technology and human＇s selfishness and greed so as to build an equal and harmonious eco-environment.
