人者,乃理万物之长——论道家弱化的人类中心论

Human Being Serving as the Head of Nature: On Taoists' Weakening Anthropocentrism

道家弱化的人类中心论克服了强人类中心主义式的妄自尊大的偏狭,拓宽了人类道德的关怀视野,也弥补了非人类中心主义对人的主体性的贬损,强调人在维护生态平衡中的责无旁贷的义务。与非人类中心主义不同的是,它认为人对自然不仅不是负价值,而且还能使自然生命成为自觉的高级生命形态,给人赋予了重大的环境责任。

The weakening anthropocentrism overcomes the arrogant and biased opinion of powerful anthropocentrism , broadens the hori-zon of human moral care , makes up the disparaging remark of non -anthropocentrism about human subjectivity , and highlights the in-escapable responsibility of humans in keeping the balance of nature .Different from anthropocentrism , it holds that human being are not negative value for nature , but the advanced living thing making natural life become conscious .It entrusts people with great environmen-tal responsibility .
