论生态文化在生态文明建设中的重要性

On Importance of Ecological Culture in Ecological Civilization Promotion

生态文化是以生态价值观为“灵魂”的文化。生态价值观可概括为两点:(1)非人自然物有其自身价值;(2)人与自然同属于一个生命共同体。人类中心主义和还原论是阻碍生态价值观深入人心的无比顽固的思想障碍。为建设生态文化,必须拒斥人类中心主义和还原论。环境伦理学对人类中心主义进行了系统的批判。量子物理学和复杂性科学(蕴含生态学)提供了反驳人类中心主义和还原论的科学依据。庸俗唯物主义错误理解了经济与文化的关系。工业文明带来的物质丰富,为我们正确理解经济与文化的关系提供了社会条件。生态文化建设对生态文明建设具有根本性的重要意义。生态文化直接倡导思想观念的根本转变,唯当人们转变了观念,才会产生从事各种生态文明建设具体事项的动机。

Ecological culture is a culture with ecological values as its“soul”.Ecological values can be summarized as two points.First,the non-human natural objects have their own value;second,man and nature together form a community of life.Anthropocentrism and reductionism are immensely persistent ideological barriers to the penetration of ecological values.Anthropocentrism and reductionism must be rejected in order to construct ecological culture.Environmental ethics offers a systematic critique of anthropocentrism.Quantum physics and complexity science,including ecology,provide the scientific basis to refute anthropocentrism and reductionism.Vulgar materialism misunderstands the relationship between economy and culture.The material wealth brought by industrial civilization provides social conditions for us to correctly understand the relationship between economy and culture.The construction of ecological culture is of fundamental importance to the promotion of ecological civilization.Ecological culture directly advocates a fundamental change in mindset,and it is only when people change their mindset that they will be motivated to engage in various specific matters of ecological civilization promotion.
