Loss And Return Of Human Beings

The fundamental ideas and principles and the proof of the reasonability of ecological ethics are designed to criticize and transcend human being-centralism, and therefore is a profound expression of man's reason and consciousness. However, the theory of ecology-centralism has some paradox in its thoughts and theoretic logic so much so that some problems meet with theoretic dilemma such as it is a dissolution of or an enhancement of center? Does "Yes" equate "should be"? Does its inner value exist in an instinct way? And the ecological ethics that is based theoretically upon it falls in original trouble. In the meantime, there is a main line of thought of "human being-centralism" or "center" in the presupposition of ecological ethics of ecology-centralism. The existence of such an unconscious "center complex" will not only lead to a weakening of the criticism of human being-centralism, but also bring about suspicions of his own reasonability.In fact, human beings, on the one hand, in the same way as other life forms follow the laws of biological evolution, and exist as its achievement, on the other hand, on the basis of his response form deriving from its biological instinct, develop an evolutional path on which its existence depends upon its acquired behavior, and it is just this special evolutional process that makes human being realize his self separation and elevation from biological instinctive world, and thus genuinely endows man with his real meaning as a cultural being. The demonstrations of man's real meaning does not consist in his acquisition of some particularity by means of a pure cultural process so as to distinguish and reveal his exterior characteristics. What's more important, man, through a conscious cultural evolution, can constantly realize his own transcendence and maximize the reasonability of his cultural existential form. Apparently, man's evolution as human cultural ethical morality marks considerably the extent of human cultural evolution, and also through a systematic adjustment of other results of man's cultural evolution as well as the rational restrictions and limitations to which human beings make use of these results, marks the extent of man's consciousness as a culturalexistence and the extent to which human being's real meaning and category nature demonstrate.Hence, man must be placed the biological-cultural pattern when examining all that concerned with human being's existential theory and practicing ways with an aim to obtain an overall cognition of man's biological nature and cultural nature. Neglect or ignorance of any of the two sides will lead to a universal damage to man's nature and loss and forgetting of his real meaning. The source of the theoretic dilemma of human being-centralism lies in that human being is merely regarded as a natural community, that is, only his biological nature is examined, but the value of his cultural nature is ignored. In the natural community, human being can only appear as purely biological identity, and adopt an instinctive existential way. Whereas, human being-centralism is just an ideological form of instinctive existence, and just in this sense, the theoretic proof of ecology-centralism goes to its opposite, in other words, human being-centralism is not actually rejected. Therefore, the ecological ethics that is based upon the fundamental principles of ecology-centralism will inevitably retain such human being-centralist factors and the "center complex" is a revelation. It is obvious that man's category nature which transcends his biological and natural instincts acquired as a species of cultural evolution is alienated by his instinct existence, and in the course of this alienation man's real meaning gets lost.To sum up, in order to go to a scientific ecological ethics, eliminate the paradox of the ecology-centralism theory itself, and provide a rational proof of ecological ethics, we must understand fully the evolutional nature of human beings and morality, base the reasonability proof of ecological ethics on a scientif...
