Whitehead's view of nature in his philosophy of organism is a reconstruction of his view of nature based on the position of criticizing the modern materialist view of nature and the mechanical view of nature.Whitehead believed that this view of nature violated the empirical facts,split the unity between man and nature,and was not conducive to the development of natural science and philosophy of science.Perception and experience of the construction of another view of nature is restated,subject and object,organic and inorganic natural relation of a kind of effort,in fact,he has finally reached the purpose: to "event" and "object" restatement philosophical origin and the significance of attribute,category of "process" instead of "entity" to build a new,holistic,realism of "organism" implication of the system's view of nature.Rapid economic growth and the rapid development of science and technology brings to the community of human destiny tomorrow great promise,however,the ecological crisis,technology alienation,interest driven by the expansion of the anthropocentrism force problem of the relationship between human and nature becomes a focus era,what the viewpoint and method of bridge of the mutual relation between human society and natural environment become philosophy to be seriously discussed issue.The new changes require that people be guided by a general view based on a turn in ecological philosophy.On the one hand,whitehead's organic view of nature is based on the holistic understanding of the organism and the ecosystem,and internalizes the process and creative meaning,which makes the cooperative mechanism and the dynamic symbiosis model the inevitable requirements of the organism's evolution.On the other hand,he fully affirmed the intrinsic value of nature and all living things in nature,and awed nature,which further promoted the emergence of the ethical value and moral value of the organism.The characteristics of whitehead's organic view of nature can give new perspective and open thinking to ecological ontology,ecological epistemology and ecological methodology in ecological philosophy.Today,with the vigorous development of natural science,philosophy has also realized the external transformation.The development of ecological philosophy not only needs to actively absorb the essence of traditional philosophy,but also needs to draw on the wisdom of others and draw on the wisdom of modern philosophy.
