评儒家文化拯救生态论

Comments on the Ideas of Saving the Ecological Environment by Confucian Ethics

儒家文化拯救生态论直观、片面地理解生态危机的根源和实质 ,过高估计传统“天人合一”思想的世界意义和现代价值 ,明显具有文化自恋倾向 ,而且始终停留在口号、宣言的层次上 ,给不出对这种建设性意见本身具有决定意义并可供当代环境保护实践参考的应用方案 ,因而可疑。探讨生态环境的拯救和保护问题 ,应当面对时代 ,放眼世界 ,充分利用当代的思想文化资源建构起新的人与自然协同进化、和谐发展的现代理论 。

The idea of saving the ecological environment by Confucian ethics is narrow and incomplete in the understanding of the nature of ecological crisis, and it overestimates the global significance and modern value of the Confucian theory that man is an integral part of nature. The idea has a strong sense of self love orientation. It fails to provide constructively practical measures for environmental protection and it remains only at the superficial level of slogan and propaganda. Therefore, its practical significance is doubtful. Exploration to the solutions to ecological crisis must be made under the current situation of the world. Modern and contemporary ideas should be taken for consideration so that they can help establish up to date theories in favor of coordinate progress of both man and nature. Meanwhile, applied research should be encouraged.
