论阿伦·盖尔的生态文明思想及其教育启示

On Arran Gare’s Ecological Civilization Thought and Its Educational Implications

全球生态危机使人类的生存和发展面临有史以来最为严峻的形势。阿伦·盖尔认为,人类文明的生态转向是未来社会实现可持续发展的首要前提,而思辨自然主义对于克服传统分析哲学碎片化的思维方式具有不可取代的作用,是寻求未来生态文明的理论基础。基于此,盖尔提出追求生命、自由和幸福的价值旨趣,注重学科的跨界视野,通过哲学和文化转型走向生态文明,以及构建层次分明的人类生态社区共同体的核心主张。盖尔重视构建教育学跨学科融合的整体视野,教育对于生态文明观念的塑造与引领,以及科技对于生态文明教育的促进作用等,这些思想可为中国当下生态文明教育的持续开展提供重要借鉴。

The global ecological crisis makes humanity face the most serious challenge of survival and development in history.Arran Gare believes that the ecological turn of human civilization is the basic premise for the sustainable development of future society,and speculative naturalism as the theoretical basis for seeking future ecological civilization plays a key and irreplaceable role in overcoming the fragmented thinking mode of traditional analytical philosophy.Therefore,Gare puts forward the core propositions of pursuing life,freedom and happiness,embracing the interdisciplinary vision,moving towards ecological civilization through philosophical and cultural transformation,and constructing a well-structured ecological community for human beings.Gare attaches great importance to establishing an overall system of interdisciplinary integration of pedagogy,shaping and leading the concept of ecological civilization through education,and facilitating ecological civilization education with science and technology.His ideas are of great significance to the ongoing development of ecological civilization education in China.
