After 1970, with the rapid growth of economy, beyond the memory of men, environment is seriously destroyed. The relationship between human and environment is very tensional. Economy is not only restricted, the survival and development of humankind is also threatened. Consequently, the relationship between nature and human is become a hotspot issue in theory. One side, this problem arose reflection on anthropocentrism. On the other side, it urges more thinking about non-anthropocentrism, naturalism, and environment ethics. The dispute is become a hotspot issue between anthropocentrism and non-anthropocentrism. Many experts and scholars bring forward all kinds of viewpoints. It has use for reference to our researching. But the discussion on anthropocentrism still has localization. Many problems need go deep into researching. The reflection on anthropocentrism have important theory meanings and practice values.In this dissertation, we talk about on theory foundation of anthropocentrism and human nature, the theory of anthropocentrism and nowadays difficulty, why non-anthropocentrism is become possible, how to construct reasonable anthropocentrism. On this base, I bring forward my viewpoints. I hope my viewpoints can promote the researching on the problem. In the dissertation, we discuss anthropocentrism in four parts.â… .We sum up the notion of anthropocentrism and the evolvement of history. The people of anthropocentrism comprehend anthropocentrism in physical space, in value idea and in divinity theology. According to the west scholars'view, we explain the evolvement of anthropocentrism that is from traditional anthropocentrism to modern anthropocentrism.â…¡.We analysis the theory foundation of anthropocentrism and human nature. The people are the main bodies of value .only people have inherence value; other substance is tool and means of human. Human not only have nature essence, but also have society essence and spirit essence. People are not only instinct being, but also consciousness, thinking and self-knowledge being. It is not only freedom being, but also purpose being. It is not only body being, but also soul being. It is not only material being, but also spirit being. People decide to insist anthropocentrism because of human nature.â…¢.We reflect and criticize on anthropocentrism. Non-anthropocentrism such as Rollstin, Allenfel consider that anthropocentrism arose the problem of zoology environment and the conflict between people and nature. It makes people only concern theirselves being and benefit, but ignore the nature being and benefit. It brings on the human practice infinitely and devastatingly. It collapses the humorous of human and environment, so the problem of zoology environment comes up. Non-anthropocentrism considers such problem origin from anthropocentrism .so non-anthropocentrism protest that none but give up anthropocentrism, human can stick up environment moral consciousness and solve the conflict between human and nature.â…£.We bring forward how to construct reasonable anthropocentrism. After the 20 century 70, with the environment destroyed, though anthropocentrism is criticized by non-anthropocentrism, but anthropocentrism is still dominant and validity place of environment ethnics. Through the rectification of non-anthropocentrism, anthropocentrism is beyond traditional anthropocentrism, it rebuild modern anthropocentrism, it become more reasonable, more perfect, more open, truer theory. It is actual anthropocentrism. We use the notion of later modernism; we named such validity, open, actual and perfect anthropocentrism as later anthropocentrism. We offer the later anthropocentrism. It no longer defy nature value, wildly empolder and use for nature resource, but give more attention to all human advantage in whole and long term, leave no stone unturned to protect nature resource, maintain the zoology balance. No other than we protect the nature resource well, people have happy and quiet life for longer.
