绿色变革视角下的环境哲学理论

Environmental Philosophy Theory from a Perspective of Green Transformation

当代环境哲学已经发展成为一种具有强烈的改变现实和重构未来的理论意涵与实践指向的生态文化(理论)。但作为一种狭义上的哲学,它还需要平衡对待或强调其大众文化支撑与理性阐释论证功能,现实批判和未来建构功能,同时需要面向一个更为宽阔的视野或论域来思考。而这意味着,环境哲学不仅需要成为一门更加标准化的哲学,还需要成为一门更加激进的哲学。

Contemporary environmental philosophy has developed into a certain kind of ecological cultural theory, which contains a strong theoretical connotation and practical orientation of reshaping reality and reconstructing the future. Its major point is that the majority of people in today＇s society should gradually abandon the dominating values of anthropocentrism and accept values of non-anthropocentrism,leading to an ecological reconstruction of material production and living basis and cultural perceptions of modern civilization. As a philosophy school in a narrow sense, environmental philosophy should pay more attention to balancing its functions of promoting popular cultutre and offering systemic interpretation and argumentation, criticizing the reality and envisaging a green future. Meanwhile, it should also broaden its domain of theoretical thinking and discusssion. This implies that environmental philosophy needs to be not only more standardized but also more radical. To be more standardized means that environmental phisolophy will work hard at a better integration of describing the real ecological and environmental problems and providing the philosophical interpretation and analysis for them; while to be more radical means that environmental phisolophy will put more efforts on seeking and creating the institutional basis or framework for a deep-green system of values and ethics. In other words, environmental philosophy theory will looks more like a red-green philosophy, which targets at a structural transformation or reconstruction of industrial society and civilization.
