物的遮蔽与生态危机——关于环境问题的哲学思考

生态危机亦即物的危机.造成这种危机的原因是复杂的.其中最为关键的是人对待物的方式.当人普遍地乃至唯一地把物揭示为"抽象物"特别是"有用物"的时候,物"自身"就隐匿了.这种隐匿同时为危机的出现埋下了伏笔.自然保护的目的是要使物重新作为"自身"来存在.而要做到这一点,则需多种救援力量的配合.自然审美与艺术创作也是这些力量之一.它们虽无法直接插手环境的整治与改善,但却能向人昭示一种"处物而不伤物"的态度.普遍持有这样的态度,乃是消除、缓解危机的基本前提.

The Obliteration of Things and Ecological Crisis

Ecological crisis is also the crisis of things. Such crisis is brought about by very complicated processes The most crucial point is the way things are treated. When things are generally or exclusively interpreted as "abstract ones "or "useful ones", these things themselves are obliterated. Such obliteration gives way to the appearance of the crisis. The aim of the protection of nature is to ensure the being of things as "themselves" . To achieve this, a variety of forces are needed, including the esthetic enjoyment of nature and the artistic creation .Although they are not directly involved in the management and improvement of environment, they can demonstrate a way of " dealing with things without bringing damage to them". Such an understanding, when generally held, proves to be the basic prerequisite for the amelioration and even elimination of the crisis.
