福斯特的生态道德思想及其启示

Foster's Thought on Ecological Morality and Its Implications

福斯特的生态道德思想主要包括福斯特对资本主义的反生态批判和福斯特提出的“道德革命”两个部分。福斯特认为是资本主义生产方式的不道德导致了生态危机,他对资本主义的资本积累和资本扩张下的不道德现象进行深入剖析,进而得出资本主义制度与生态道德相悖,资本主义社会需要一场“道德革命”的结论。福斯特生态道德思想的局限在于忽视资本主义社会基本矛盾、“道德革命”方案缺乏现实性,其对于我国生态文明建设的启示是加强环境治理的顶层设计、培育社会主义生态文化、强化公民生态道德意识。

Foster's thought on ecological morality mainly includes Foster's ecology against capitalism and the moral revolution.Foster believes that the immorality of the capitalist mode of production is the cause of ecological crisis.He analyzes the immorality of capital accu-mulation and capital expansion in capitalism,and comes to the conclusion that the capitalist system is contrary to eological morality,and that capitalist society needs a"moral revolution".However,the limitation of Foster's thought on eological morality is that it negects the fundamental contradictions of capitalist society and the"moral revolution"proposal lacks feasibility.On the other hand,the implications of his thought for China's ecological conservation is that we should strenghen top-level design in enironmental protetion,culivate socialist ecological civilization,and enhance people's ecological consciousness.
