论自然的主体性与自然的价值

On the Subjectship of Nature and Value of Nature

本文提出人类中心主义与非人类中心主义的争论涉及自然及非人存在物是否有内在价值和权利 ,进而涉及自然及非人存在物是否有主体性。主体性是相对的 ,主体性可表现为不同程度。人不是最高的主体 ,更不是绝对主体 ,大自然才是最高的主体。非人存在物亦有不同程度的主体性 。

This article proposes that the dispute surrounding human centricism and non human centricism involves whether nature and non human beings have their inherent value and rights, which further involves whether nature and non human beings have subjectship. Subjectship is a relative term and may be in different degrees. Human beings is neither the highest nor absolute subject and only nature is the highest subject. Non human beings possess subjectship of different degrees and hence their inherent value and rights.
