生态现代化:我国生态文明建设的现实选择

Ecological Modernization:the Practical Choice of Ecological Civilization Construction in China

人类社会的发展是一个由传统走向现代的过程,这个过程伴随文明形态的更替。人类社会第一次现代化进程完成了从农业文明向工业文明的转换,同时也遭遇严重的环境问题。针对环境问题的解决,西方社会的现代化理论与实践开始了生态转向,人类社会也向着更高形态的生态文明迈进。生态文明与生态现代化有着相同的问题指向与理论内涵,都应该从人与自然两个系统的相互作用进行理解。生态文明是生态现代化理论的内在逻辑指向;生态现代化昭示了和谐、绿色的发展理念,成为人类通达生态文明的现实选择。借鉴西方生态现代化理论,我国生态文明建设可以从制度建设、市场和经济主体、社会力量以及技术创新四个方面,形成自己的现代化模式。

The development of human society is a process from tradition to modern which is accompanied by the replacement of the civilization form. The first modernization process of human society has completed the transformation from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization, but it encountered serious environmental problems as well. In view of the solution of environmental problems, the modern theory and practice of western society begin its ecological turn and human society is also moving toward a higher form of ecological civilization. Ecological civilization and ecological modernization have the same problem points and theoretical connotation, both of which should be understood from the interaction between human social system and natural system. Ecological civilization is the inherent logical point of ecological modernization theory. Ecological modernization demonstrates the concept of harmonious and green development, which becomes the realistic choice of humans to ecological civilization. Drawing on the theory of western ecological modernization, the ecological civilization construction in China can form its own modernization mode from system construction, market and economic subjects, social forces and technological innovation.
