The Continuable Development: A Revolution In Viewpoint Of Value

The viewpoint of value from the western industrial civilization has resulted in resource crisis, environmental crisis and existent crisis of human beings. These serious facts and crises are the inevitable results of industrial civilization's development of the western capitalism. In a word, human beings are faced with a revolution of viewpoint in value. There are three aspects, which reflect the valuable loss of modern industrial civilization. First, human beings have deviated from nature. From the ancient ages to the feudal ages, nature has been the targets that people adored. Till the industrial ages, along with the machinery manufacture taking the place of the agricultural machinery, people's dominant effect has been more and more outstanding. As a result, nature has gradually turned into the object that people know and remake, which was ever adored. What people think is only to ask for from nature, and nature is meaningful only when it exists for people. Second, after replacing the God, people have become an "absolute subject". Such a "crazy subject" has eliminated the human reason, valuable pursuit and the absolute limits of practical action, which make people lose any limits and restrains. At last, the modernism development viewpoint believes that development is born to be good and it has no difference between good and bad. "More and more quick development" has been regarded as a sign of social advancement, happy lifeand high living level, which we can conclude that it is not continuable. Undoubtedly, if we continue the industrial civilization's development road, we'll be doomed to the terrible danger. For this reason, standing on the civilization's crossing, people must give up this kind of development road. Through introspecting and reassessing the old development road, this dissertation offers the continuable development viewpoint a premise of the theory of value.Relative to the " non-continuable development", the continuable development is put forward to guiding the human beings with the only one correct way, which can help them get out of the present difficult position. As a model used to initiate the harmonious development between the human being and nature, the continuable development has two essential features. The first one: it stresses that the human beings should keep harmony with nature when they pursue their rights of existence and development. The other one: it stresses that the contemporary generation should have the equal opportunities with the later generations when they create and seek the present development and consumption. That is to say, we ought to choose such a developmental road that population, economy, society, environment and resource can harmonize mutually. This road can meet the contemporary generation's demand, moreover, it cannot result in harm to the later generation's existence and development. In the opinion of the continuable development viewpoint, nature has consumptive value and environmental value, while behind these two values, we can see a deeper value: the existent value of human being. Only we see the human existent as the ultimate standard to evaluate the human action, can we never deviate from nature, never regard ourselves as God, andnever think any development is born to be good. We should recognize that the human being is one part of nature and cannot exceed the nature's restrains. Therefore, human being is a "limited subject". What the people can do is not sure of what they ought to do. Development is not rational in nature."The continuable development viewpoint" regard global consciousness, existent consciousness and future consciousness as its valuable objects. In order to realize the continuable development of human beings, we should understand the relationship between the human and nature in double meanings: theory of existence and theory of practice; we should change the-absolute-subject consciousness into the-limited-subject consciousness, and change the society of individual standard into the society of the human standard. With the guide of valuable objects in the future, the continuable development viewpoint includes the general care about all the human beings and the valuable remold for the ideal personality. In the macroscopic sense, the deepest intrinsic quality of modernists is the spirit of limitless development, surpassing them. Therefore, the modernist arrogance has shown that they deny limitation and insist expand continuously. The human beings ignore the existent problems of the vital individuals in the life coalition, such as animals, plants etc, when they obtain their existence. Thus, our practical existence has to face with so much unusual challenges. "The continuable development viewpoint" has been an epochal viewpoint step by step. What this viewpoint wants to realize finally is the ultimate object of the systematic, general and overall cares about human beings. In the microscopic sense, the remold for the personality's value of the continuable development viewpoint embodies its general cares about human beings. "Human is an open existence to the worldinfinitely." The personality's value is the human value as a whole, which is the unity of material value and spiritual value. The continuable development aims at finding the human self lost amongst the industrial civilization and remolding the personality's value, which concludes the unity of truth, kindness and perfection.The continuable development viewpoint in the present age has provided us with a new kind of standard to evaluate the social development. The development of industrial civilization has accomplished the rapid increase in the economy all over the world, but at the same time, it has led to all kinds of crises. These crises come from the old developmental road, which is the inevitable result of its deviating from nature. On the premise of introspecting the developmental model of industrial civilization, the continuable development viewpoint has given up the viewpoint of individualism and its practical action. In fact, the continuable development viewpoint has brought about a revolution of viewpoint in value. In the explanatory principle of theory of existence, the core of this revolution is to reorient the subjective position of the human beings, initiate the social development according to the new humanitarianism, and keep the harmonious advancement of human beings in order to realize the continuable existence and development.The continuable development viewpoint centralizes the human beings and takes the continuance of development as its valuable standard. This kind of viewpoint regard human as the objective of social development. The human being's foundation is existence. In the explanatory principle of theory of existence, the continuable development emphasizes that the continuable existent interests of the whole human beings are the most important. Just...
