《中庸》的“参赞化育说”

The Theory "Participation in Fostering by the Heaven and the Earth" in the Doctrine of the Mean

中国传统哲学有丰富的生态意识 ,《中庸》的“参赞化育”说就是其中之一。“参赞化育说”与“人类中心论”的最大区别是 ,它不是以征服、战胜自然为人类进步的标志 ,而是以尊重自然、促成自然界的进化为人类生存发展的唯一选择。这一学说为重新认识人与自然的关系 ,走人类可持续发展的道路 ,提供了重要的价值指导。

There was a wealth of data about ecological ideology in Chinese traditional philosophy,which included the theory 'participation in fostering by the Heaven and the Earth' in the Doctrine of the Mean. Its most outstanding difference from 'anthropocentrism'is that it doesn't take the conquest and victory over the nature as the symbol of the human beings' development, but makes only the choice, for human existence and development,to respect the nature and help the natural evolution forward. The theory puts forward an important value-guide for us to understand again the relationship between mankind and nature and to set ourselves on the path of the sustainable development.
