Minority Research Of Ecological Ethics

When people enjoy the fruits of modern science and technology, they begin to seek the spiritual home. It is a new pathway to research on the relationship between the mankind and nature from the ethical perspective to understand and solve such a problem. In order to solve the problems caused by ecological environment deterioration, the most important thing is to effect a permanent cure. A green barrier for ecological protection must be built in everyone's heart, so that there will be a strong force to maintain ecological balance. Ecological ethics is an important factor to change people's ideas from moral heteronomy to moral self-discipline. Through moral education people can realize the significance to safeguard the globe of which the mankind is an integral part. Moral education is not only the key to the new century, but also the fundamental way to solve the ecological crisis. Therefore we must scan ecosystem and education under the new situation.According to the viewpoint of the modern western ecologists, it is the western traditional culture that leads to the tense relations between fact and value as well as the opposition between anthropocentrism and nature centrism., because it emphasizes the isolation and opposition not only between human and nature but also between science and value. In other words, western rationalism can not solve the conflicts between manand nature. To break the shackles of tradition, the western culture has to seek help of other cultures especially the traditional cultures of Chinese ethnic minorities. The traditional culture of Chinese ethnic minorities contains abundant thoughts on harmonizing man and nature, which is different from western traditional idea of man separating from nature. Their knowledge and the ways to deal with the relations between man and nature contain wisdoms on ecosystem with unique value to reconstruct and enrich the ecosystem ethics of the 21st century. And people can also find in it a series of import thoughts to overthrow effectively the tool reasonableness of contemporary western industrial society.It is important for us to carry out systematic and comprehensive research on outstanding traditional ecological ethics of the ethnic minorities. So there exist in the research great theoretical and practical significance to the development of harmonious society. Firstly, ethics research can enrich the cultural treasure of wisdom, broaden the field of ethnics and anthropology, promote mutual understanding and trust, and advance the cooperation and communication among different cultures. Secondly, ethics research is not only an important way to perceive and comprehend the various ethnic groups, but also the crucial pathway to rebuild ecological and cultural mode and ensure sustainable development. Thirdly, ethics research is consistent with the trend of thetimes and the need of the scientific concept of development. In this way, we are able to strengthen national unity, develop the economy and seek common prosperity among the nationalities.Today, we are exploring how to solve global ecological crisis and seek harmony between man and nature. On one hand, we must value the ecological knowledge and experience of all ethnic groups in the world in order to preserve the sustainable development, and on the other we should attach great importance to ecological experience and knowledge among all the nations of China. Meanwhile we must also coordinate the nation's valuable traditional ecological cultural resources. It is reasonable to inherit and promote the traditional and ecological culture resources while abandoning its backwardness. We should make full use of the modern technology to reconstruct the historical tradition, an draw strength from the human civilization. In summary, we need to innovate ecological civilization to guide coexistence of man and nature in harmony. So we Chinese people can step into a new age of ecological civilization.
