对非人类中心主义生态伦理学的两点质疑

非人类中心主义生态伦理学认为自然万物与人一样具有主体性,具有其自身内在的价值、权利与尊严,因此,人类应当敬畏自然、敬畏生命。本文对此观点提出质疑,认为自然物不是伦理主体,不具有内在价值、权利与尊严。生态伦理学在反对人类自大狂的同时,也应当反对将自然“神化”。生态危机的根源不是认识论的问题,而是生存论的问题。

Two Questions about Nonhuman-Centered Ecological Ethics

According to nonhuman-centered ecological ethics,all creatures in nature,like human race,possess subjectivity and their inner value,right and integrity.Therefore,human race should revere nature and life.But the auther has doubts about this,thinking that the natural creatures are not ethic subject;they don't have inner value,right and integrity.Ecological ethics should oppose "deifying" nature while opposing human megalomania.The cause of ecological danger is not a question of theory of knowledge,but a question of theory of survival.
