The Ethical Dimension Of Ecology: A Community Of Life From Human Beings To Natur

Along with the development and progress of human society,the problem that arises is that the contradiction between man and nature continues to intensify,and environmental problems have become unavoidable problems in our time and must be responded to.For a question,different people will have different answers,and there are also different best answers under different historical backgrounds.If traditional ethics is to solve the problem of moral relations between people,then environmental ethics is to question and answer the moral problems of people and nature.From the birth of human beings to the present,human life has never left nature.Human survival depends on nature.For humans,nature is home and residence,food and clothing,and all sources of living materials.The relationship between man and nature is a long-discussed issue.Whether nature is valuable,whether it should have moral rights,or on what value basis should nature have rights is the primary issue of environmental ethics thinking and research,ecological civilization What are the dilemmas since its development?What kind of help the new era ecological civilization thought proposed by China has for solving environmental problems and dealing with global ecological problems is the goal of this article.First of all,the emergence of environmental ethics is related to the characteristics of the times.After the industrial revolution,consumerist culture has prevailed in human society,and the ecological environment has been greatly destroyed,which has made environmental problems continue to be highlighted and the contradictions between man and nature have been expanding.The emergence of these practical problems forced people to think about the relationship between man and nature,and environmental ethics was born.Schweitzer’s bioethics is based on the ethics of reverence for life.He regards the will of life as the foundation of ethical value,and allows environmental ethics to complete the progress of the value level from man to nature.The value is due to the will of life itself.Not human evaluation.Leopold’s earth ethics regards the overall life system as a moral object,and human beings are also a part of the earth system,so the stability,integrity and beauty of the earth’s ecosystem must be maintained.Ralston understands nature from the perspective of natural value theory.He believes that value is not created by man,but discovered by man in nature.He believes that nature mainly has tool value,intrinsic value and system value.Tool value is the value that humans can use nature.Intrinsic value is the value of nature that does not depend on human nature.System value needs to appear in the ecosystem.The recognition of this establishes that value is not given by man,but is a natural attribute.The concern of environmental ethics on the value of nature is to try to use this way to get nature out of man,no longer attached to man in value,and become a moral object with free value.Secondly,the development process of environmental ethics is the process of expanding moral boundaries.Anthropocentrism is a traditional human-centered ethics,which has the characteristics of treating all external things except humans as tools and human beings as the purpose of the world..Animal liberation theory and animal rights theory expand the scope of moral concern from humans to animals.Biocentrism extends the moral boundary to all living entities.Starting from the fear of life,human beings respect life and respect nature as a moral code.Ecocentric theory summarizes both human and nature into a complete ecosystem.Humans are in the ecosystem and have the same moral status as other beings in nature.Humans maintain nature by maintaining the ecosystem and maintaining the ecosystem.Maintain human beings.Thirdly,Ralston is an important representative of environmental ethics.His critique of Western ecological civilization started from the individualism that constitutes Western culture since the Enlightenment,and pointed out that under the combined effect of capitalism and individualism in modern Western countries,The fundamental reason for the inability to do anything about environmental problems.Capitalism’s plundering of natural resources has led to the emergence of an ecological crisis,which has been transferred to developing countries through global production,but it has not been able to fundamentally solve environmental problems,which has led to Western ecology.The dilemma of civilization development.Ralston faced the question of how to implement environmental ethics as an individual,and proposed that human beings are both in nature and in culture.They are both the subject of moral behavior and the supervisor of morality.This requires people to have an environment.Ethical awareness must protect the ecological environment,maintain the ecosystem,and respect nature.Finally,the development of western ecological civilization is restricted by capital logic and it is difficult to fundamentally solve current environmental problems.The idea of ecological civilization in the new era is used as an icebreaker to break the predicament,combined with the reflection of the idea of a community of human destiny in environmental ethics,It is proposed to provide new ideas for solving environmental problems.While the life community highlights the dominant position of man,it also emphasizes that man and nature are a life community.Humans must respect,conform to,and protect nature.Regarding the domestic environmental problems that have intensified since the reform and opening up,General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward the concept of "green water and green mountains",and pointed out that after the priority stage of economic development,we must pursue economic development and protect the ecology as equals,and finally we must be aware of a beautiful natural environment.It is a valuable resource in itself,and ecological advantage is economic advantage.Regarding the environmental problems faced by the world,General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed to work together to build a global ecological civilization.We must realize that environmental problems are no longer a regional one,and the destiny of mankind is no longer a regional one.The world is already one.A closely connected community requires international cooperation to solve environmental problems.It must abandon ecological colonialism,get rid of the logic of capital,and promote the concepts of common interests,sustainable development and global governance.In the face of the dilemma of the development of global ecological civilization,the advocacy of the new era of ecological civilization thinking of the community of life provides a Chinese solution to environmental problems,and is also an innovative theory to solve the development dilemma of ecological civilization.Persevering in the construction of ecological civilization in the new era and seeking the development of global ecological civilization will surely be able to solve environmental problems for us,achieve sustainable development,and build a beautiful earth together.
