中国传统哲学天人关系视域下的环境伦理考察——以中西文化差异为背景

中国传统哲学的核心问题是以天人关系为基础的人生问题,具体说是在"天人合一"立场上人的价值选择问题。以"法天象地"为自我安放起点,先民找到了"天人相通"的可能性路径,这就是"天道"的"生生之德"及以此为基础人的道德价值取向。"天人合一"因此获得了仁爱道德的伦理意义。这种"天人合一"的哲学特质及其蕴含的"主客统一"的思维方式,使人与自然在文化源头上获得了内在的和谐关系。这种智慧虽产生于农业文明,却能为现代社会的环境伦理提供合理视域。

A Study on the Enviromental Ethics from the Perspective of the Relations Between Human and Nature of Chinese Philosophy- Based on the Diffences of Chinese Culture and Western Culture

The core issue of Chinese traditional philosophy is the problem of life,which is based on the relations between nature and human.Specifically,it’s people’s value choice based on the concept of the harmony between nature and human.Taking learning from nature as the starting point,the ancestors found the possible connection between nature and human,that is,"the virtue of life’s consistency" as "the way of Heaven" and the moral value choice of human based on the former.Then the concept of the harmony between nature and human gains ethical implication.Thanks for the special nature of Chinese traditional philosophy,which is known as the harmony between nature and human,and the unique mode of philosophical thinking,which presents as the unity of subject and object,we can get inherent harmonious relationship between nature and human from the origin of culture.Though based on the agricultural civilization,this kind of wisdom provides us the reasonable way to resolve the environmental ethics in modern society.
