On Aldo Leopold's Land Ethics:A Case Study of A Sand County Almanac

利奥波德在《沙乡年鉴》中,以自然写作的形式将其在野外和乡间的生活经历凝练、浓缩与升华,形成了著名的具有前瞻意识的生态伦理观。尤其是他的土地伦理观以及他对人与自然之间关系的哲思,不仅使人们认识到生态意识的重要性,同时也激发了人们重新审视人类在生物共同体中应扮演的角色。在环境问题日益恶化的当下,对《沙乡年鉴》中的土地伦理观进行系统、细致的阐释和梳理,考论其生成的背景和内涵,并探讨其对现代社会的启示和影响等,不但有助于我们深刻认识利奥波德的生态伦理观,而且还将有助于我们进一步认识人与自然之间休戚与共的关系,从而尊重自然、善待自然并保护自然。
