生态学发展中的伦理意蕴

在生态学的发展历史中,始终伴随着人的伦理情怀。从18世纪生态学研究中所形成的自然中心主义和人类中心主义传统,到19世纪两种观点在生态学研究中的进一步发展,再到20世纪生态学的独立发展和工业化所带来的生态环境的凸现,使传统的人类中心主义伦理观受到了前所未有的挑战。随着生态学所揭示的生态发展规律逐渐被应用到环境保护运动和人与自然关系的研究中,环境伦理学也得到了空前的发展。

With the increasing application of ecological development law in researches on environmental protection as well as the relationships between man and nature, ecological ethics is developing unprecedentedly.
