Exploration On Eco-ethics Of Anthropocentism

The relationship between man and nature has become a constant topic as while as the humanity began. In the past, people pursued traditional anthropocentrism which regarded the center with people and people's needs.And most of the ethicists discussed the problems of environment in the scope of anthropocentrism. At guidance of this ethical principles, people got rid of the nature. So people did got more interests but destried the environment. Its negative impact was not obviously when the breadth and depth of human's practice was limited.But after 70's, with the continued expansion and deepening of human practice, worsening global ecological crisis, the limitations of the traditional anthropocentrism were gradually exposed, such as the extinction of animals and plants, climate even worse, water pollution problems were more seriously and obviously. And more and more scholars began to skept to the anthropocentrism, people began to reflect the success and failure of pursuing anthropocentrism, and thus variety of non-anthropocentric thought emerged, many scholars named it Naturalism. This article distinguish the traditional anthropocentrism (anthropocentrism of universe concept) and modern anthropocentrism (anthropocentrism of ecological concept) based on the brief description of the development of anthropocentrism. And then revealed the error of its theoretical basis that its interrogation came from non-anthropocentrism. By way of these analysis, I went to clarify the misconception on eco-ethics of anthropocentrism, and explain two key issues:what is modern anthropocentrism and why we need to adhere to it. We found that the non-anthropocentrism did not go beyond of anthropocentrism in theory and practice and faced a series of difficulties when operated it. It is undeniable that environmental crisis is due to human beings, the problems of environment resulted from human activities of production and life, so the key to solving environmental problems should also be in the "people"Human beings'practice has proved that anthropocentrism experienced a development of the theory from shallow to deep and unitalerally to reasonally. On the one hand anthropocentrism has its historical reasons and necessity, on the other hand anthropocentrism has its historical limitations and relativity. We should be clear that the so-called anthropocentrism is the philosophy of value in terms of meaning, this is a eco-philosophy which is be inspected in ecology. As a new form of philosophy, eco-ethics of anthropocentism is not only need to criticize and inherit the traditional anthropocentrism but also need to absorb the reasonables of non-anthropocentric. we should care about human interests and human needs, respect for human values, while respecting the laws of nature and its intrinsic value, and strengthen the symbiotic view between human and natural world. We hope that we can make due contributions on solving the current ecological crisis and protecting the environment. We also can handle the relationship between people, between man and nature correctly. And the new anthropocentrism which advocated by eco-philosophy coordinate good relationships between human and nature. It also can promote human beings sustainable development and the progress of social. Of course, the perfect of the eco-ethics of anthropocentrism is gradual process, long test in the practices of Environmental Protection,and then have a significant development. But we can sure that the eco-ethics of anthropocentrism will be unsurmounted. In a word, we have to affirm the the values of the modern anthropocentrism, for the overall interests and long-term interests of "humanity", persist in the strategy of sustainable development and combine with the ecological environment and development of human to realize the harmonious intergrowth between human and the coexistence of other beings.The whole thesis is divided into six parts:Part 1:terature ReviewPart 2:IntroductionPart 3:Development of anthropocentrismPart 4:anthropocentric ecological ethicsPart 5:anthropocentrism practice of ecological ethicsPart 6:Conclusion...
