人与环境——如何重新解读中国哲学的“天人合一”理念

Human Being and Environment:How to Expound the Idea of Chinese Philosophy “Tian and Ren Combines into One”

源于西方社会的"环境伦理革命",使人们把目光投向了中国哲学的"天人合一"理念。然而,中国传统哲学对"天人合一"的解读,没有、也不可能建立起我们所需要的环境伦理学。所以,要尝试在这一理念的基础上建立新的环境伦理学,就必须给它以新的解读。文章通过对"天人是一"、"天人相分"和"天人合一"三个命题的剖析,重新解读了中国哲学的这一核心理念,并论证了环境的价值、人对环境的道德责任和环境伦理学的基本原则,从而初步确立了环境伦理学的基本纲要。

The revolution of environmental ethics of the west society makes people turning their attentions to the idea of "Tian and Ren combines into one"of Chinese philosophy.But Chinese philosophy did not establish the environmental ethics which we need on this idea.Thus, if we want establish a new environmental ethics,we must give this idea new meanings. By analysing these three propsitions,"Tian and Ren is one","Tian and Ren seperates into two","Tian and Ren combines into one", this essay gives the idea a new explanation, and proves the valve of environments, the moral duty of human being towards environments and the basic rule of environmental ethics.
